You’ve got a blemish. Well, not just a blemish. It’s an awful, screaming, fiery red, swollen to the brink of eruption, freaking king (or queen) of all mother lovin’ zits. How do you hide it? No need to worry, I have you covered. (No pun intended…maybe it was intended)
Step One:Apply a liberal layer of moisturizer. Seems counterintuitive since you feel most likely feel oily at the moment..but trust me. Opt for oil-free to avoid even more irritation. Try Image SkinCare Clear Cell. It actually has acne fighting medication in it! Always use a clean cotton ball or swab or cosmetic sponge and not your finger when applying any product to the area around a pimple. Using your finger might introduce germs that could lead to infection.
Step Two: Cover your pimple by dabbing the concealer on and around the spot. Glo Minerals Camouflage ($23) is oil free so you don’t have to worry about adding to your problem! Gently tap it into the skin in quick motions until the concealer blends with the rest of your skin. For pimples that are raised or that have come to a head, I recommend using a small, pointed concealer brush. Dip the point of the brush in your concealer, then gently “paint” the pimple in question. Be sure to get the point on not just the top of the pimple, but on the sides and at the base as well. Read more
