Tip: If your skin is oily, use
witch hazel after cleansing. If you have oily skin, you
might not need to moisturize daily. However, if your
cleanser dries your skin, use a light, oil-free moisturizer.
STEP
2 Cover your blemishes with concealer. You might
need two different colors of concealer: one for the hairline
and one for the cheeks. One shade should match your skin tone
exactly; the other should be slightly darker for covering
redness and blemishes (to make the covered blemishes appear
more natural and blend better with your skin tone).
Tip: If your skin is oily and
blemished, you may need additional coverage from your
makeup. Invest in a top-quality oil-free foundation. Even
though you may require a lot of coverage, don't use a heavy
coat of foundation; use it only to even out your skin tone.
STEP 3 Set your face with
colorless, oil-free powder.
Tip: When touching up during the
day, first blot the skin with oil-blotting paper (always
blot your face before applying another coat of powder or the
powder will appear thick and heavy). During the day, use the
same sheer powder for touch-ups. If you use a compact press
powder, store the puff facing the mirror (away from the
makeup) so the oil from the puff doesn't mix with the
powder. Wash the puff weekly with water and mild shampoo to
keep it oil- and bacteria-free.
Tip: If you experience consistent acne problems, see
a dermatologist. Fortunately, acne is considered a medical,
not a cosmetic, condition, and many acne prescriptions are
covered by health insurance
