How to Apply Makeup with Acne
We unfortunately can't always control how our skin responds to the exposure
of changing weather, which may result in acne. It tends to have bad timing in
our lives. Thankfully there are certain techniques to applying makeup that will
cover up pimples and make one's face look fresh and vibrant to suit the occasion.
Before applying makeup, however, it's best to start by taking a preventative
measure against future breakouts, so wash your face thoroughly with a mild face
wash to remove dirt or old makeup that will clog pores. Massage your face with
the face wash using warm water to open pores, and then splash your face with
cold water to close them back up.

Follow the face wash up with an alcohol-free toner. You can apply it with a cotton ball and rub it into your skin to pick up extra dirt missed by the face wash. Alcohol-free toner is better for acne prone skin as it does its job without drying up and consequently irritating the skin, which is likely already sensitive from sore pimples and intense acne treatments. Then apply an oil-free moisturizer to prevent dryness, focusing especially on dry patches.
Now that your skin is clean and moisturized, you can apply a foundation to even out your skin tone. Make sure that it’s as close as possible to your natural skin tone and blended throughout the face. Also extend it beyond your jaw line so that it looks more natural and harmonious with your neck and chest. You can then use a concealer to get right to specific problem areas. One of the most effective approaches to covering pimples is using a green-toned corrective concealer that will counterbalance any red spots and neutralize the area. Then use a regular concealer that matches your natural skin tone to even out corrected spots with the rest of the face.
Once your face is clear and its tone is even, you can use blush to enhance your cheekbones, using a brush to lightly apply it from the apples of your cheeks in an upward motion to your temples. If your acne is concentrated in this area, it’s probably a better idea to skip out on blush as it could draw attention to the bumps, even if they’re covered by makeup.
Finally, powder will allow your makeup to set and absorb oil. Blend it lightly over your face until it is even. You can then add the finishing touches- eye makeup and lip color- and be ensured that your makeup will hold and pimples stay hidden. To prevent your cosmetic use from fueling acne, you’re best off using makeup that is noncomodegic, so that your pores are clear even if your face is made up. Also, make sure to use a clean wash cloth and towel every time you wash your face, and clean your makeup brushes, applicators and sponges to prevent bacteria from building up and clogging pores.
