How to Cover Acne with Makeup? Secrets to Hiding Pimples and Blemishes with Makeup
You do everything right in your skincare routine: you cleanse, apply tonic, moisturize and use restorative ingredients. However, intruders still pop up out of nowhere. On the one hand, your calendar is still filled with meetings and meetings with your friends. In such a situation, although it may be helpful to schedule a dermatologist appointment, your doctor will not be able to reach you at all times.
While foundation and concealers won’t cure pimples and blemishes, they can definitely help your self-esteem when it comes to a timeless breakout. These expert tips on how to treat all types of acne can be very helpful!
Black Spots
- It appears as clogged and dark pores on the skin surface. The surface of your skin may look like the outside of a strawberry.
- Prepare your skin by applying a base makeup with emollient ingredients. A light, water-based base will give a flawless finish.
- Apply a medium coverage liquid foundation.
- Use a fluffy brush to pick up some of the product. Move in a circular motion to reduce the amount of product entering the brush.
- That way, it will be easier to apply a thinner layer.
White Spots
- It appears as small bumps with white spots on the skin surface. However, don’t pop the acne! This can spread around and cause serious infections.
- Instead of water and oils that can attract bacteria to your skin, choose makeup bases containing aloe.
- Use a liquid foundation with medium coverage.
- Apply the foundation with clean hands.
- Then repeat where more closure is needed.
Cystic Acne
- It appears as large, red and swollen pimples just under the skin.
- Prepare your skin by making a gentle peeling that will help you remove dead skins.
- Apply a soothing under-makeup base. Such a product will help you achieve a smoother surface. This provides a smoother foundation application.
- Whenever there is something red on your skin, you can use a light concealer with a green undertone.
- If your cystic acne has a more purple undertone, you can apply a yellow-tinted concealer.
Red Pimples
- It appears as a red, small and puffy formation on the skin. Here, choosing the right color is very important.
- To alleviate any redness, you can use a good under eye concealer. To achieve maximum coverage on the affected area, you can apply it with a flat synthetic brush.
- Apply a cream foundation with the help of a sponge. This will allow you to get a better coverage while providing a natural look.
Acne Spots
- After a pimple fades, a flat brown scar is left behind on the skin.
- Prepare your skin for makeup using a clouding base.
- Apply a foundation with full coverage.
