how to cover up blemishes?
I just recently broke out with it all over my face .___. It is dark red and I don't know what makeup to use to cover/lighten it. People said not to use concealer and others said to use it. I don't know. Any help? I'm supposed to see someone tomorrow...I don't want them to stare and try to connect the dots, ya know?

Okay you need to use this Smashbox foundation primer

the purple one : minimizes yellow or sallow tones
the orange-ish one: minimizes dark circles/veins/dark spots
the green one ( which is the one you need ): minimizes red tones.
My mom has " rosasea" which is a disease where you have really red cheeks. She uses it & it works GREAT.
As for concealer..
I use a foundation by MAC called Studio Fix ( Liquid ). It's medium coverage and has a matte finish. Only buy the powder if you have really oily skin. It's about $24, but it works great. I have alot of little pimples, and when I use this, I don't need concealer. It also comes in TONS of color options, so you won't have a problem finding a shade.

As for applying..
I use a foundation brush. It's kind of like painting your face. It feels really great, and doesn't leave streaks across your face. And it also doesn't absorb your liquid, like a sponge would. It's kind of price ( $32 ), but they last a LIFETIME.

Use a green concealer under your normal foundation. It will cancel the red.

you should put acne stuff on your face before you go to bed like maybe toothpaste? and if that doesnt help out in the morning then use foundation/concealer. what i do i put a light layer of foundation on first and then concealer on.. you can whichever first i guess.. but when you use a concealer or foundation, make sure its the right color!

hey yeah you should use concealer to cover this up. but at night like when you get ready for bed and stuff wash your face really good and get it all off and then put some kind of acne sort of treatment or face cream of some sort on your face to help make the blemishes go away a little bit. xoxo helpachick

I use Clean and Clear concealer because it covers blemishes well and also has medication in it to help clear up any breakouts.
