How to cover acne with makeup?

While concealers and foundations can't make blemishes go away, they sure can help your confidence. So, here’s how to cover up acne using makeup.

First up, seek a concealer that matches the shade of your foundation. We also suggest opting for a formula that’s enhanced with skincare ingredients like hyaluronic acid, vitamin E and antioxidants to help with hydration, nourishment and protection.

When it comes to concealing, you’ve got to be strategic. Working in light layers is key, as this will ensure that your concealer leaves no trace once blended into the skin.

Start with a clean and moisturised face, then apply a lightweight foundation all over to even out your skin tone if you wish. Now it’s time to conceal — layer on light layers of your concealer onto the blemish, blending each layer outwards for a seamless look. You can build up to your desired level of coverage but be mindful not to overdo it, as this can make your makeup look cakey.

Finally, finish with a light powder to set the concealer in place and prevent it from budging throughout the day.
