Beauty Tips| Complexion Concealer

Concealer is supposed to mask problems but applied the wrong way, it can actually magnify a zit.

1. Look for a matte or oil-free concealer
It will adhere better to the skin and wont slide off like a creamy formula can. One with sulfur also helps keep skin clear.

2. Remember light shade enhance dark ones recede.
Never put a too-light concealer or shimmery powder onto a raised bump its like shinning a spotlight on it. Match the concealer to your skin, then use a brush to lightly tap on a slightly darker matte eye shadow shade to give the illusion of shrunken bump

3. Layer
Think of a pimple as a tiny hill on your face. you need to apply a few thin layers to the blemish and the area around it to make the spot visually shrink. Use a concealer brush to pat it on and blend well. Your fingers are a breeding ground for bacteria, which worsens acne don't forget that.

Beauty Tips| Hide A Zit With Make-up!

  Instead of caking on foundation all over, I spot conceal blemishes so my natural skin shines through on its own!

CORRECT
Cancel out redness with a greenish- tinted corrector. Tap it on the spot using your ring finger it's weaker then your index. so the gentle touch won't irritate the blemish further.

COVER
Find a creamy concealer that matches your skin tone. Apply it to the blemish with a small concealer brush, focusing on the darkest part of the spot, and then lightly fade it out to blend with the rest of your face.

SET
Set the concealer with an oil-free face powder. Use a big fluffy brush and dust it on the spot. Swipe the remaining powder over the rest of your face to blend and remove extra shine.
