Big ones, red ones, flaky ones and bumpy ones.
Spots come in many shapes and sizes.
The only thing they have in common is appearing in the most inconvenient way, such as the middle of your cheek before a first date.
This can be infuriating and leave you frantically piling on concealer.
But is that always the best way to do it?
Every spot is different and requires a different expert technique to conceal it properly.
This can be one of the most difficult spots to cover. This is because it’s harder for concealer to stick to it, often leading to an ugly ‘peekaboo’ halfway through the day.
If you can, wait for it to heal, but we all know that life often doesn’t work like that. When you have to cover it up, here's what to do:
The idea is to be as precise as possible, so that the concealer stays put.
If you use a beauty blender, often the sides of the spot don’t get covered properly, leaving the whitehead visible.
If all else fails, an expert trick is to cover it with black eyeliner and turn it into a beauty spot!
Red, under the skin spots can sometimes be the most unpredictable and frustrating to cover-up. Will it turn into a whitehead? How big is it going to get? Will it ever go away?
Make-up aside, the number one thing to remember with these is never, ever try to squeeze it – it will leave you with a scar.
When a spot is healing, it can often turn crusty or flaky, which is a nightmare when you want to apply make-up. Foundation and concealer can dry it out further, leaving an orange flaky mess behind.
So your spots have finally healed, but oh the joy of dealing with the marks left behind. The good news is, scars are usually a lot easier to conceal than active acne.
The trick is to apply foundation first and then concealer.
This means your concealer won't rub off and you can make sure you have full control over the amount of coverage.
