Many acne medications guarantee fast results in 10 days. Unfortunately, 10 days is a long time when you have to face the world every day. What can we do to tie over the proceeding period before the acne goes down?
To look your best at school, work or play, all you need to do is learn a few creative acne makeup concealing tips.
But remember -- Makeup hides acne, it doesn't cure it!
But you already knew that, right? Using makeup to conceal acne isn't difficult, but there are some basic rules that you should always follow.
Put Together an Acne Makeup Toolkit
Concealer, foundation and finishing powder are your three main tools for hiding acne. Stay away from the dollar store and use only brand names that you can trust.
Make sure that the products you pick are oil-free and match your skin tone. Read the labels carefully because the last thing you want is to irritate your acne by layering a fresh coat of oil on your skin. Choose a hypoallergenic brand while you're at it.
Before You Get Started
Firstly, you need to wash your face with your usual face cleansing product and pat it dry. Follow the instructions, apply your acne medication and let it dry thoroughly.
Step 1: Concealer
Focus on the red or dark blotches on your skin and apply concealer in a light dabbing motion. Make sure to use a disposable facial sponge to blend the concealer in. It’s a good idea to use the concealer sparingly as you can always apply more if you need it later.
Step 2: Apply the Foundation
Apply the foundation sparingly as well and use a light dabbing motion here too. Blend the foundation with your sponge and reapply to any areas that need it.
Step 3: Oil-free Powder
Use a large makeup brush to apply a light layer of oil-free powder. This will give you an even and finished look and will take care of any shine that the acne concealer and foundation left behind.
Don’t forget to throw away the disposable sponges you use when you are through. The last thing you want is to transfer yesterday's skin oil to tomorrow's clean face!
