Do you prefer making your own eyeshadow palette or purchasing a pre-made one?

What's your current technique to apply concealer over a blemish or spot?

What's your current technique to apply concealer over a blemish or spot?

I go back in with either a dampened sponge or a small, fluffy synthetic brush to diffuse and bring up...
