Do You Have Acne? Follow These Tips To Conceal It, Without Looking Like A Clown
Being a teenager involves so much peer and societal pressure. The last thing you need to do in the process with this is deal with Acne! Being the cause of so much teenage and adolescent angst it is no wonder there are thousands of products to help you get rid of those nasty spots.
It is not difficult to hide blemishes and achieve a natural look, even with acne. The secret is in using the correct make-up concealer and foundation to cover them up.
Here we share some tips to achieve that:
Step # 1: You want to conceal the acne, and cover with foundation that achieves the Natural Look. So first start with a clean face, use an acne treatment face wash, plus a good moisturizer. Now most skin with acne is oily where the acne is with some dry patches. Use the correct moisturizer for this. Concealer: The green concealer works well to neutralize red tones. Apply this first, dab a little on the area to be covered and blend in well. Concealers also come in very light skin tone colors to dark skin tone colors. Find the right one for your skin tone. Try out a few at the cosmetics department of your local store; they should have testers to try. Over the green concealer, blend a little of the skin tone you have chosen. Blend well.
Step # 2: The correct foundation in one to two shades darker, or lighter, depending on the look you want to achieve, is very important so find the right one for you. Try this out on the inside of your wrist so that it blends in perfectly with your skin color. Now apply this over your concealers used on your face to cover the acne. Blend in well.
Step # 3: Layer on Layer. Once you have found your foundation and concealer in the colours of your choice you are now ready to try them out together. For the natural look, cleanse, moisturize, apply a dab of concealer, blended over the acne, then the skin tone foundation, dabbed onto the concealer and blended outwards, away from the concealer. Use sparingly. Remember less is more. Use less, look more natural.
Step # 4: If you want to set your foundation with powder, this makes it last longer. It can be very drying, so go sparingly with the translucent powder. A loose powder, not compact, applied with a large soft brush works best. Keep a tissue under your face when doing this to save your clothes.
Step # 5: Keep sample sizes with you for touch-ups. Do not add layer upon layer. Rather clean off old make-up with a face wipe pad, which is great for this, and redo with your samples. Your look should be natural not masked.
Following these 5 steps you should have that Natural Look and not a sign of acne anywhere.
