Concealing Blemishes

A blemish is a mar in the skin caused by pimples, blocked pores, a skin rash or scarring. Instead of feeling uncomfortable with how you look, keep a few basic makeup supplies on hand to conceal blemishes.

Steps:
1. Wash your hands before handling your face. Dirt and oils on your hands will only aggravate the blemish.

2. Choose a concealer appropriate to the color and type of blemish you wish to hide. Concealer is a creamier foundation makeup with added pigments intended for specific parts of your face.

3. Pick a yellow-tinted concealer to hide red blemishes; choose a concealer a little lighter than your blemish for hiding darker marks.

4. Choose a masking cosmetic (which is thicker than concealer and has added pigment) to hide more prominent blemishes, such as small scars left from pimples or skin irregularities.

5. Apply the concealer or masking cosmetic over the blemish using your finger, an eye shadow brush or sponge.

6. Blend the edges with the surrounding skin, using a circular motion.

7. Set the masking cosmetic with a special setting powder, then apply oil-free foundation and powder on top.

Tips:
Try a cover stick, which is a stick version of a concealer. These contain a high proportion of wax to add body and thickness.

Masking cosmetics are usually not available at drugstores or beauty aid stores but can be purchased at major department stores. They're expensive, but effective.

Warnings:
Using too much makeup to cover blemishes may make skin look blotchy. Start conservatively, and add as needed.
