Having zits, pimples and spots isn't easy and even the most confident of people can become self-conscious and upset. Whether you suffer from a lot of spots or just the occasional breakout, follow our advice to help you cover up even the most noticeable of acne.
Hello and welcome to VideoJug.
Having zits, pimples and spots isn't easy and even the most confident of people can become self-conscious and upset. Whether you suffer from a lot of blemishes or just the occasional breakout, follow our advice to help you cover up even the most noticeable of acne.
________________________________________
Step 1:
Prepare
Before you even contemplate techniques to cover spots it’s important to prepare correctly. This means always washing your face thoroughly before going to bed. Also make sure you moisturise any blemishes as it’s easier to cover a spot if it’s red than if it’s dry or flaky.
________________________________________
Step 2:
Foundation
Depending on what suits your skin, you could either use a foundation or a tinted moisturiser on your face, and for smaller blemishes and spots this can sometimes be enough. This isn't a necessity but if you normally use these products then they should be applied before any concealer is used.

Step 3:
Concealer
There are a number of different concealers on the market, but if you’re using a liquid concealer, warm a small amount of it on the back of your hand, and using a small brush or cotton bud apply it directly onto the spot. You can also get medicated concealers which will help to heal blemishes and decrease their redness.

Step 4:
Blend
Finally, using a small brush or cotton bud, blend the concealer at the edges of the spot onto the rest of the skin to give a more even finish.
Done.
