This method will do what chemical-based exfoliation does. This also eliminates excess oil and dirt. It will help keep your makeup intact for long periods of time.
This is the most important step in the pre-makeup routine. You must not skip this step. Moisturizer keeps the skin healthy and soft. If you have dry skin, choose an oil based moisturizer, and if you have oily skin, then choose a water based moisturizer.

And If you have combination skin, choose liquid, cream or stick form concealer with buildable coverage in matt or dewy finish look. If you have oily skin, then choose a liquid concealer with light to medium coverage in matt finish. Use a brush or sponge or finger to blend the concealer.
If your under eye area is really dark, and you want to brighten the area, then apply concealer in a triangle shape and blend it for even coverage.
