There is nothing like a pimple to make you feel like that’s the only thing that people are staring at when you are face to face! Obviously, you can’t make it totally disappear but you can try to do your best covering it up with some makeup tricks.
Before any application, make sure to add extra face moisturizer on the problem areas, as they tend to get those dry edges. Using a concealer that matches your skin tone or one with a green tint (helps with the redness), lightly blot the pimp(s) with the tip of your finger or a makeup sponge. Trying to leave more of the concealer on the top of the pimp(s), then blending from the edge out to your face so it’s not a big spot.
Apply some light foundation as you usually would and finish off with some loose powder.
Remember, your acne could be coming from dirty brushes, old makeup, makeup that is not oil-controlling, or from not properly washing your face before going to bed! Try to avoid all this and use this makeup trick to cover them up when they pop up!
I can’t carry around my whole makeup collection with me everywhere I go, so let me note some of the basic makeup steps & products that I use (and can easily carry around) daily!
Something I like to do is mix the MAC Studio Finish concealer with the MAC Studio Fix Fluid and cover under the eyes, around the nose, mouth & any other must-cover areas.
