Unfortunately, not all of us are blessed with clear skin. The stress of an emerging pimple is something we all know. Bless your makeup, because with this you can simply look flawless! Below you will find a description of how to best camouflage your pimple!

Day cream

To start with, a good day cream is always recommended. Whether you want to get rid of a pimple or apply your regular make-up. It is a good primer and it protects the skin.

So, start your routine with a day cream !

Green concealer

Start with green concealer. You want a color that will take away the redness of the pimple. You do this by choosing a complementary color. These are two different colors that are the opposite of each other. For red, this is green. Try not to apply the layer too thickly. It is better to carefully build it up layer by layer.

Take a look at our color correcting concealers .

Normal concealer

After applying the green concealer, it's time for your regular concealer . Try to use a firm, matte concealer. Apply this on top of the green concealer. If you use a concealer stick, first apply the concealer to a brush. If you apply the concealer stick directly to the pimple, you can easily wipe away the green concealer. It's also more hygienic to use a brush first, especially for inflammations! Make sure the concealer is blended well. Not only on the pimple itself but also the edges around it. Let the concealer blend nicely into the skin. When applying the concealer, try to wipe the product on all sides. Because it's a bump, it's noticeable if you only wipe in one direction.

Foundation

If you want to use foundation , you can now apply it over the green and normal concealer. Again, be careful with the pimples and try to swipe lightly from multiple sides.

Setting powder

And now one of the most important steps, namely setting powder ! You don't want your hard work to go to waste and you see the pimple again within an hour. Because a pimple is an inflammation, this means that the spot is warm. This makes everything shift easily. By choosing a solid matte concealer you can prevent this to some extent, but to set it completely, a setting powder is very important.

Try to press the setting powder a little on the pimple. If you have a white spot on your face afterwards, you can wipe it away with a brush. Be careful! Use the softest brush you have and wipe very lightly and carefully. If you want to powder the rest of your face because your face cream or foundation shines too much, try not to do this too vigorously.

Highlighter

If you still want to apply a highlighter , make sure it is not near the pimple! Highlighter reflects light. If this ends up on your pimple, it will be in the spotlight!

And you're done! Before you know it, your pimples will be gone!
