Sephora Starlette: How To: Cover A Blemish Like A Pro!

Hey everyone!

I know we all have those days where are face is breaking out, so here are my tips on how to cover those unattractive zits!

Step One: Green Concealer
Before you apply your foundation, put a green concealer on any zits on your face, but don't blend it. The green will counteract the red from the zits. I recommend using a MAC #194 concealer brush to do this, but you can use your fingers, just make sure that they are clean! My favorite green concealer is Coastal Scents Color Corrector Concealer Quad, which is only $7.95.

Step 2: Apply Your Foundation
Now apply your foundation as you normally would.

Step 3: Apply Skin Color Concealer
Now taking a stick concealer, apply it over the pimples and blend using your fingers. The natural warmth from your fingers should help melt the concealer into your skin, again, just make sure that they are clean! My favorite is the NARS Concealer ($22.00) or the Bobbi Brown Face Touch Up Stick ($22.00).

Step 4: Apply Under Eye Concealer
Apply your favorite under eye concealer under your eyes.

Step 5: Apply a Setting Powder
To Lock all of the cream products in place that you have just used, apply a powder over. If you have very light skin, I recommend a translucent powder. If you have any other shade of skin, I would recommend a pressed powder that is your skin color. If you want even more coverage, you can apply a powder foundation over all of this.
