it would Seem that we are doing everything right: cleanse, tone and moisturize, but nevertheless the worst intruder is still coming as if from nowhere. We are now about acne. Although the concealer or Foundation cream can’t fix the cause of their appearance, they can certainly help to visually disguise them. Although pimples are different shapes and sizes, there’s a multitude butyakov that allow them to cleverly hide. He collected the advice of makeup artists.
How to choose concealer
a make-up artist mally Roncal, founder of Mally Beauty, says concealer should be a thick consistency, almost like putty. This kind of tool can usually be found in the jar (it does not stick, it is not a liquid texture). Use a small brush, for example, for eyeliner to cover the inflamed area around a pimple.
Apply it as a possible point. Can even use a magnifying mirror. It is not necessary to cover the entire area around the pimple, otherwise you’ll just attract attention to it. After application, lightly powder it with a fluffy brush says the expert.
If the inflammation is difficult to cover with concealer or it is “inconvenient” place (on the chin, the neck or on the tip of the nose), then take a black eyeliner and turn it into a mole.
When I first met my husband, I had such fly, and after a month he asked me where was gone my mole,
she says.
If the pimple inflammation
If the cystic pimple, then you first need to remove inflammation. Start with a cold compress (an ice cube will relieve pain and reduce the size of inflammation). It may sound counterintuitive, but stay away from full cover and instead use a combination of tinted moisturizer and a light-masking tools.
You don’t need to completely cover it. In bright light it will still be visible. Make smoky eyes, and nobody will look at your pimples, says Otem Multi, makeup artist, working with Gabrielle Union and Kerry Washington.
If the pimple is already dry
Wow. Due to the excessive use of remedies for acne inflammation now looks like he has dandruff. According to Joshua Zeichner, a dermatologist from new York, the first step should be moisturizing. If not, you can gently (key word) to remove dry skin, before applying makeup.
I usually moisten flaky skin with warm moist towel, and then use tweezers sterilized with alcohol. Skin to look fresh, use a moisturizer or mist with essential oils says the expert.
How to mask black dots
makeup Artists recommend to apply several thin layers of environmentsSTV different textures. First liquid or cream Foundation, then if you need additional coverage, the concealer of the same tone (Pat), and then loose powder.
What to do if skin is oily
Then you should stay away from cosmetics oil-based.
Use oil-free Foundation, concealer and moisturizer. Yeah, the moisture should not be forgotten. After each use, brush, wipe it with rubbing alcohol. You don’t want to put even more bacteria experts say.
If the pimple red
it is Important to choose not only the right shade of Foundation, but and masking tools.
One of the biggest mistakes that people make is choosing a concealer that is not the right color. If it is too light and the pimple is quite large, such a tool does not evenly blend with the skin, says the makeup artist.
If the pimple is still visible, I apply some more masking tools, using the eyeliner brush. Sounds like too many layers. But the key to disguise any inflammation is patience. If you think you can cover it in one fell swoop of the brush, you’re wrong, says mally Roncal.
For very red pimples, use a green primer or green concealer. On top, apply a yellow-based concealer and blend thoroughly in areas adjacent to healthy skin. On top, apply a little powder to fix the makeup.
M. A. C Makeup artist Diana Choi advises to choose foods dense in texture.
If the pimple with redness, I use palettes of concealer Studio Fix Conceal and Correct Palette. 6 shades allow you to conceal redness and pigmentation, evening out the tone. Emergency I use cream shadow Pro Longwear Paint Pots in two flavours. It all depends on skin tone: if it is bright, then fit one shade Painterly, if skin color is dark and darker, then add another shade of Groundwork.
Cream shadow can be used as a substrate (base shade) — the product is fixed on the skin, and because of this it will be long enough to hide imperfections. On top of this product, you can use the powder, causing it slightly perepechatyvali movements (and better to apply it with a sponge).
But the M. A. C makeup artist Gregory Razin do not agree with his colleague. He is sure that contrary to popular belief do not try to mask the imperfections of dense tone, applying it all over the face.
the Use of green corrector to date is also irrelevant. To create the perfect skin it is gentle enough to apply liquid Foundation for your skin type. Then a point, not shading, apply concealer (medium to high density coatings with a yellowish undertone to correct the red pigment of the inflamed area) on the problem�� area and leave for a few minutes on the skin the expert recommends.
So, the concealer better locks and provide a more dense coating and to the difference in texture was not noticeable, the boundaries of application should be a small feather with a fluffy brush. For a more textural imperfections, you can use another technique to cover-up a pimple underneath the mole or freckle, in this case, on top of concealer is enough to put a small dot with a pencil natural brown.
do Not forget about skin care
the Official makeup artist Stellary Elena Bazhenova recalls that the most important thing in the fight against skin imperfections is to use care, to treat them and not be applied over too much makeup. Even if you successfully disguise a pimple is not an option, it needs to be treated.
There are a few strict “no” in disguise pimples. If this is a fresh pimple or outdoor, in any case do not apply makeup. Do not use dirty brushes and be sure to wash the accessories, that come in contact with the inflamed area. Do not use too much makeup: so the pimple will only become more noticeable. Do not use too light concealer: it will only allocate a pimple will make it visually more visible and bigger, — marks a makeup artist.
Camouflage depending on the type of pimple
If it is whiteheads, use a dry thick (not liquid) concealer in your skin tone or slightly darker (but not lighter). With a thin brush apply it on the pimple and the red area around it, careful not to touch healthy skin; then gently smash the concealer with a clean finger, help him “sit”.
makeup
Makeup artist Olga Yeliseyev advises at masking the pimple not forget about the rest of your face and start from the Foundation to the subsequent adjustment of imperfections was not “an island” on the face.
once the skin tone is aligned, proceed to cover up the inflammation as this inflammation and local skin temperature increased, it is necessary to choose sustainable means.
the Main thing — do not overdo it
still, too a large number of cosmetics can aggravate the situation. The main culprit is the dust that will make the pimple even more texture and make it more visible.
