Hiding pimples with make-up

Pimples: why and how? 

Acne can have several origins: hormonal in adolescence and in adult women, but also environmental. For example, because of stress, a diet too rich in sugar, pollution or unsuitable cosmetics.

These pimples form on rather oily skin in adolescence. The skin usually becomes combination in adulthood, with both dry and oily areas (the T-zone, which runs from the forehead to the chin via the wings of the nose). It can also remain completely oily, or completely dry.

The challenge is therefore not only to camouflage pimples with make-up, but also to mattify and even out the complexion.

Camouflaging mild pimples

After moisturising your skin with a suitable skincare product, you should first even out your skin tone.

The fluid foundation corrector is ideal for this. For light coverage, apply it all over your face, dabbing it on with a sponge to "blur" wide pores, then smooth it in towards the edges of your face.
 
Then use a beige concealer brush and apply it locally to your pimples. Blend the edges of the concealer with a cotton swab, which is more effective than the fingertip in order to not remove the concealer.

Concealing severe pimples 

First, moisturise your skin with the right product.
Then start by evening out your skin tone with the matte finish Compact Foundation Cream.
Then use different colours to neutralise the colours of your still visible pimples. For example, the green corrector stick will hide a red and inflamed pimple; the yellow corrector stick is perfect for hiding pimples on fair skin; the coral corrector stick will help reduce the brown colour of acne scars. 

For a very natural result, apply the concealer with a fine brush and tap on the imperfection until you obtain a grey colour. If necessary, you can also apply a touch of Compact Foundation Cream by dabbing it locally with a sponge; it will cover the correction perfectly without moving it.
