How to Hide a Pimple on Your Nose

With the right makeup, no one can even notice your pimple.

Pimples are caused by bacteria, excess oil and shedding of dead skin. Most people at one point or another have had a pimple or two show up on their face at the most inconvenient times. When you have to be somewhere important, such as a party or a business function, that pesky pimple is there for everyone to see. If you currently have a noticeable pimple on the center of your face, such as on your nose, you can make it less visible with a little makeup.

Things You'll Need

• Moisturizer
• Foundation primer
• Foundation
• Concealer
• Powder
• Concealer brush
• Flat-top brush
• Powder brush

Instructions

1. Rub oil-free moisturizer and foundation primer on your face. Moisturizer helps your makeup go on more evenly, while a foundation primer keeps it from sliding off. Wait a couple minutes for the moisturizer and foundation primer to absorb into your skin.

2. Dip a flat-top brush in a quarter-size amount of liquid foundation. Apply the foundation all over your face. Choose a foundation that is neither too light nor too dark for your skin tone. Allow the foundation to dry.

3. Dip a concealer brush into cream concealer. Pat the concealer directly on the pimple and blend into the skin. Don't apply too much concealer to avoid a "caked-on" appearance.

4. Apply powder to your pimple and then the rest of your face with a large powder brush to set the foundation and concealer. Use the powder sparingly, and sweep the brush across your face in long strokes.
