Cover Up that Pimple with These Tips

December 4th, 2013 • Posted by Esthetics by Liliya Spa and Acne Clinic • Permalink

Pimples seem to arrive at the worst time; so arm yourself with a few makeup tips to keep those ugly blemishes hidden. Check out this list of tips to conceal blemishes.

Hit the freezer

Grab some ice and hold it on your pimple for a few minutes. The cooling sensation will help the swelling go down.

Apply acne treatment

Pick up a small tube of spot treatment and apply a tiny amount after you've iced the spot. This will help diminish the pimple over time. Let the cream dry before moving on to the next step.

Time to conceal

If you want to hide a blemish, applying your normal foundation won't be enough. You'll need to apply a concealer. There are all kinds of concealers out there, but many people prefer the stick concealer to cover pimples. Liquid concealers tend to fade and sink into the pimple, making it look worse. Using your stick concealer, apply a healthy coat to the pimple and the surrounding area. Blend it in with a makeup brush.

Seal it with powder

You'll want to apply a coat of powder over the concealer to seal it. Now that the pimple is hidden, you can go about your normal makeup routine.
