When applying make-up to acne-prone skin, you have to pay special attention to camouflage skin imperfections. Equally important is the selection of skin-matching cosmetics that is followed by their proper application. How to do acne skin make-up?

Face Cream

Before you start applying make-up to acne skin, you have to prepare your complexion first. To do it the right way, use a cream that you use daily, instead of applying a foundation primer. Problematic skin requires special attention, therefore you simply can’t neglect its regular moisturisation. Since cleansing cosmetics destined for acne skin have the tendency to dehydrate, skin has to be constantly nourished with light creams which translates to its better regeneration. It’s also worth realising that using a brush to apply the cream is crucial because fingers can transport bacteria and make the problem of acne even more serious.

Concealer

Concealer of highlighting properties has to be applied to under eye area to be smudged with a brush. Cosmetic enriched with light reflecting particles makes under eye skin area look as if it was healthier and well-rested.

Camouflage

Camouflage enables you to hide single pimples and other skin imperfections. The cosmetic’s consistency is rather heavy and what is connected with this, it has a very strong camouflaging properties. Even though this is its biggest asset, if applied wrongly, it can create this unnatural-looking finish. Therefore, collect a tiny amount of a camouflage on the tip of a brush. Just by dabbing the tip of the brush you’re supposed to hide skin imperfections. As the last step you have to make sure whether the possible excess of cosmetic was precisely blended.

Foundation and Powder

Women having acne skin frequent reach for heavy concealers and powders that tend to clog skin pores and encourage new acne and deliver highly unnatural final effects. For that reason, instead of applying them, it’s better to use pressed powders. They have to be put on using a big, soft brush. We have to make sure that the powder covers the entire bristle’s surface. Then, apply the cosmetic to skin topically, and this gifts skin with better camouflage rather than when smudged. However, there are two skin areas, temples and nose in particular, where it is suggested to give an extra brushstroke.

Blusher and Bronzer

If you want to enhance your cheekbones either with a blusher or bronzer, you have to use matte products. Applying cosmetics that are enriched with shimmering particles accentuates the very face parts you want to hide.
