How to Hide Pimples with Makeup

It can be a real pain to wake up one morning and realize you got a big pimple staring back at you.

No matter if you are 16 years old or 36 years old, dealing with pimples is no fun.

The good part is that there are ways that you can hide a pimple with the right makeup. There are ways that makeup can easily conceal your pimple if you know how to properly apply your makeup and what makeup you need to be using in the first place.

If you are looking to hide a pimple with makeup, check out my tips below.

Use a Green Color Corrector For a Bad Breakout


If the pimple is really noticeable, especially if you find that it is really red, you are going to want to start out with a green color corrector. This helps to even out more of your skin tone and takes a lot of the redness away from the pimple.

Use a Thick Concealer


When it comes to hiding a pimple with makeup, you are going to need heavier makeup then if you weren't trying to conceal the spots on your face.

Use a thicker concealer first (if you didn't use the green color corrector). Use a small brush or even a Q-tip to apply the concealer and make sure that you do blend it in so that it doesn't make the pimple even more noticeable.

Use Your Normal Foundation


Apply your normal foundation like you usually would, just making sure that you dab it and blend it well over the area where you already applied the foundation.

Do make sure that your concealer or color corrector is completely dry before you apply the foundation or it will just smear the concealer off.

Finish Off with Some Loose Powder


Set the concealer and foundation in place with a light dusting of loose powder all over your face. This helps to keep the makeup in place and make sure it doesn't rub off right away.

Consider Mineral Makeup for Hiding Acne


If you suffer from acne breakouts on a regular basis you may want to consider buying a quality mineral makeup for covering up the pimples. The mineral makeup is heavier but doesn't have all the oil and chemicals that other makeups have, which can actually lead to more pimples.
