Such troubles on the face can appear completely unceremoniously, and even in large numbers. Hindering us from feeling confident and beautiful, acne occurs due to stress and hormonal surges, poor nutrition and smoking. Such a misfortune happens to everyone, some more often, some less, but the "antidote" sometimes needs to be found quite urgently!

You can achieve an even and perfect complexion with the help of correctly selected cosmetic tools and products. You often find such products on store shelves or in the pharmacy, so you can always purchase them to mask your problem skin. We present you with a complete acne masking plan, in which there are several important steps. It is your right to give preference to one or another method of camouflage, although you can apply all of the ones we proposed at once to your makeup.

So, how to cover up pimples and “hide” them from the eyes of others? A whole arsenal of cosmetic devices and tools is needed here. Most likely, they are already familiar to you firsthand - all that remains is to learn how to use them professionally and consistently.
The secret of using tools is also that each touch to the skin should be gentle, and in general it is necessary to try to touch it less - irritation can increase. A brush that not only absorbs the cosmetic product and allows you to save any foundation, but also has other undeniable advantages can become an ideal variant of the "tool against acne".

For example, it is almost impossible to stretch the skin with a brush, which often happens when applying products with your fingers. In addition, the tool is easy and quick to clean, which means that it cannot accumulate bacteria.

Acne masking: preparatory stage

So, you need to achieve the perfect look. The question arises: how to mask acne?

First aid for an unpleasant seal on the face are two remedies:

• Vizin vasoconstrictor eye drops.They effectively remove redness of the eyes due to the vasoconstrictor effect, they will also remove redness in the acne area, because the red membrane indicates the flow of blood to the site of inflammation. For camouflage, you need to take a small piece of cotton wool, put a few drops of Vizin on its surface and place it in the freezer for 7-10 minutes. Then apply to the pimple for a few minutes. After the first time, the redness will noticeably subside. But if you have a large, painful pimple, the procedure should be repeated several times. As it is more difficult to mask large acne.

• Tea tree oil. This method is more effective with acne, but it takes longer - about 5-6 hours. If you have time, feel free to use it. Why is tea tree oil so effective? All thanks to the bactericidal effect, which effectively relieves inflammation and redness. It is necessary to apply the oil pointwise with a cotton swab to the acne. After the first try, you will notice an improvement in your skin condition. However, you should not overuse the oil, in case of frequent rashes, instead of masking acne, it is important to start competent treatment.

Foundation: masking rules

Only high-quality cosmetics will allow you to properly disguise acne, pay attention to special tonal creams and powders with a hypoallergenic composition. It is better to use a cream with a more liquid consistency.

Remember that a sponge is often wasteful as it is almost a disposable makeup product. Some girls do the wrong thing by washing it after use and drying it in the sun. One way or another, the sponge is able to accumulate sebum, soap, bacteria and dirt, the remains of cosmetics inside itself ... Is it rational to touch your face with such a device if it is not sterile? Any brush along with a sponge will be more profitable: it is more hygienic, economical and boasts a longer service life.

By using a moisturizing foundation, a completely natural shade can be guaranteed. Such a tool is applied with fingertips to the cheeks, chin, forehead, nose. It is not necessary to concentrate on skin imperfections now - you just need to apply a thin base layer of the cream to cover the imperfections.

An effective concealer for acne is a concealer / corrector. A green-tinted camouflage pencil (concealer) will give the pimple an almost natural tint.
Before using the pencil, cleanse and prepare your skin for makeup.

A very convenient option for masking rashes is a special BB-cosmetics. Such funds have a masking effect, in addition, they matte the skin surface and relieve inflammation. But such cosmetics are quite expensive.

Express masking

Sometimes there is little time to run a marathon, especially when you rush to work in the morning or a date in the evening. Then you will need an accelerated option for masking pimples. First, we cleanse the skin, and after choosing the means for concealing, we can start applying makeup. Moisturizing with a non-greasy matte cream is the first stage of “beautification”. Remember that the skin will only accept a thin layer of this product. Of course, even very noticeable flaws can be hidden with a thick, greasy layer, but it will make your appearance somewhat vulgar.

How can you cover up acne? If the skin is inflamed in addition to pimples, apply concealer to these areas ten minutes before applying makeup. It is not necessary to smear this tool - such a corrector should be correctly used for the very center of the pimple, pointwise, and wait for it to dry quickly.

For blush, choose dark bronze or light brown shades. Do you like peach or delicate strawberries in blush? Give them up for a while, since it will not work to mask acne on the face in this way, you will draw even more attention to inflammation. The same rule applies to lipstick or gloss - bright shades on the lips will draw attention to the skin, but colorless gloss or beige shades will not draw attention to the inflamed areas.

Another effective way to shift the emphasis on the face is to highlight the eyes. You can take advantage of the occasion and apply “smoky eyes” makeup, moreover, this beauty will remain in trend for a long time to create an expressive look. Feel free to create bright eye makeup, and you will not only shift the attention of others from the hated acne, but arouse the interest of the opposite sex!

Steps

Reducing the size of the pimple

   Moisturize your skin after washing. Be sure to apply a moisturizer before bed, after washing your face. Use a light moisturizer designed for your skin type. You can also apply a moisturizer in the morning after washing your face. However, focus on the inflamed skin area.

   Apply ice. Wrap the ice cubes in a towel. Apply ice to (clean) skin and hold for about one minute. If the pimple persists, repeat the process after five minutes.

   Choose a primer - makeup base. The primer is applied directly in front of the concealer to hide the pimple. Use a green or yellow primer to neutralize the color of inflamed blemishes.

   Apply primer. Use a makeup brush to apply primer to the pimple. Apply enough primer so that the pimple is completely covered, but at the same time not too much, so as not to draw even more attention to the inflamed area. Use your finger to gently smooth the primer over the inflamed area.

   • You can also use a cotton sponge if you don't have a special brush.

2. Apply concealer. Get a concealer that matches your skin tone. Use a clean makeup brush to apply concealer to the pimple. Apply enough concealer to cover up the pimple completely, but be careful at the same time, because if you apply too much, you will draw a lot of attention to the sore area.

   Spread the concealer evenly. Blend the concealer so that there is no difference between the color of the concealer and your skin tone. Use your finger to gently blend the concealer all over your skin.

   Use powder. Fix the result with powder, so that the makeup will last all day. Apply the powder with a puff or sponge. Do this gently, do not rub.

Acne on the face can spoil the mood of any person - both women and men. The reasons for their occurrence are different: from a small cold or acne lesions of the skin to an insect bite.

1. You should not use cosmetic cleansers of the epidermis that contain solid particles - scrubs, masks with a peeling effect.
2. The cleanser should not be aggressive, cauterizing, so as not to cause peeling and irritation, and the tightening effect from the use of the product should be mild, aimed at improving water balance skin.

There are several ways to camouflage acne. Sometimes these methods need to be combined, depending on the actual circumstances and the degree of skin damage.

How to mask acne with decorative makeup

Masking is combined with the application of general and local makeup on the face and is carried out as follows:

1. A make-up base is applied, the so-called base coat. It - special toolwhich creates a velcro effect for later application of foundation and use of concealer or concealer stick.

3. After applying the base layer, you should retouch acne with a camouflage pencil or concealer, which includes various oils, antibacterial substances, vitamins. The color of the camouflage pencil should match the skin tone or be lighter by one or two tones. A pencil of a greenish light shade has an excellent effect, as it visually removes redness.

   
   

4. After treating acne with a masking pencil or concealer, foundation is applied to the face using a cosmetic brush or sponge. Anchor desired effect you can use your fingertips, with careful hammering movements. The foundation should be selected carefully: with a moisturizing effect, soft or liquid consistency, with the smallest grind, good holding and covering ability. Ideally, the foundation should not be visible on the face, giving the illusion of natural skin.

   

5. Completing the masking of minor skin imperfections, it is necessary to fix the foundation with powder, which will provide a long-lasting cosmetic effect and give the skin a velvety matte finish. Powder should also be chosen very carefully. A "hard" compact powder with a very fine grind is best suited.
6. Finally, you can apply a light layer of blush to the cheekbones, chin, eyelids and wings of the nose. At this final stage of makeup, a bronzer can come in handy, which is selected so that it is two shades darker than the general tone.

Important! Disguise with makeup is fragile. Make-up can be erased, accidentally damaged by the weather (wind, rain). When you are in the sun, the foundation can separate from the skin, the pores of the skin will expand, an oily sheen appears, and particles of powder and concealer risk mixing with sweat and rolling into lumps. Therefore, when going somewhere, you should take the necessary cosmetics with you in order to "correct" the situation, if necessary.

Pimples appear unexpectedly, spoil the appearance and literally unsettle, especially if they are located on the face. But if you know some secrets, then you can mask and make almost any pimple invisible.

How to make a pimple less noticeable?

There are several ways to mask acne, but all of them can be roughly divided into two large groups... Let's talk in more detail about each of them.

If there is no cosmetics

If you are a lover of everything natural, and there is not a single special concealer in your cosmetic bag, then you can do without cosmetics. Use available tools and other methods. Here are some of them:

1. Ice will help you. As you know, cold causes vasoconstriction. And if we consider that redness is a consequence of vasodilation, then the cold will come in handy. First, you can use a piece of ice. Apply it to the pimple for a few minutes. Secondly, you can put a piece of cotton wool soaked in water in the freezer and attach it to the problem area. If there is no refrigerator nearby, then you can simply attach something cold.
2. Vasoconstrictor drugs, which are probably in everyone's medicine cabinet, will help to narrow the vessels. The first such remedy is vasoconstrictor drops for the nose, such as "Naphtizin", "Nazivin", "Xilen" and others like that. Soak cotton wool in this product and apply it to the pimple for 10-15 minutes. The second remedy is eye drops with a vasoconstrictor effect (Stillavit, Octylia, Vizin). You need to do with such a tool in the same way as with nasal drops. After 15 minutes, the vessels will begin to narrow, and the redness will become almost invisible.
3. Try using it, which is found in many anti-inflammatory cosmetics. Apply it to the problem area with a cotton swab. After about half an hour, the pimple will become less noticeable. If you have enough time, then apply the oil every half hour for 5-6 hours to completely get rid of redness and inflammation.
4. Perfectly removes redness. Dissolve half a teaspoon of the powder in a teaspoon of warm water. Apply the resulting gruel to the pimple for an hour, and then rinse with warm water. Surely the redness will noticeably decrease.
5. If your medicine cabinet has a remedy such as Streptocide, then use it. You can dilute a small amount of the powder in warm water and apply it to the problem area of \u200b\u200bthe skin for at least half an hour. After that, remove the composition with a cotton swab dipped in hydrogen peroxide (peroxide also helps to eliminate inflammation and effectively fights microbes, which are often the main cause of acne).
6. Many have probably heard about the use of masks based on Aspirin.
