BEAUTY TIP: Using Makeup to Cover Acne

We all know that acne can be a problem when it comes to looking and feeling your best. Well, there's hope for those who suffer from acne. Makeup can be helpful when trying to cover up acne marks, blemishes and dark spots. Below I have listed some tips when using makeup to cover up acne.

1. Start off with a clean and moisturized face.
- A clean face will allow for a smoother application and prevent bacteria and other germs

2.Use Concealer
- Green Tinted Concealer: when applied this concealer helps to cover red blemishes
- For dark spots, use a yellow based mineral concealer

3. Apply Foundation
- For those with acne, foundation should be applied with either a makeup wedge or brush
-brushes should be cleaned daily to prevent bacteria which could aggravate the acne
- Use oil-free or noncomedogenic makeup, these should not irritate the skin
- Set makeup with powder and you are good to go!
