Make Up Games and Blemishes


I hate blemishes and I was surprised to learn the other day that I’ve been covering up the red spots all wrong when they appear on my face. Right now I’m using concealer, but after reading some new advice by Bobbi Brown, I’m switching over to a real method of concealing – a heavy base is the right answer.

When you use concealer to cover up a blemish, you’re putting on a spot several shades lighter than your usual skin tone. Using a foundation that is exactly the same shade as your skin tone means you’re able to truly blend the spot in with the rest of your face, especially if you use a light foundation on the rest of your face so that the transition between the light and the heavy foundation is a smooth one.
