How to Hide Facial Burns

Covering burns and facial scars can feel like a chore, but the process is a easier when you have a basic understanding of effective makeup application. With the right procedure, you may find that covering small burns is straightforward and easy to do on a daily basis. While you cannot realistically cover extreme, large burns with traditional makeup products and a few minutes in the morning, you can cover most small blemishes and scars with basic concealer.

Things You'll Need

• Gentle face cleanser
• Clean towel
• Liquid concealer
• Concealer sponge
• Finishing powder

Instructions

1. Wash your face with a gentle, oil-free cleanser and pat dry with a clean towel.

2. Apply a small amount of liquid concealer in the exact same shade as your skin tone to a fresh concealer sponge.

3. Dab the sponge over the affected area of skin to apply the concealer.

4. Tap the concealer with your finger to blend it into the rest of your makeup. Tapping allows you to spread the concealer evenly without accidental removal.

5. Dust the area lightly with a finishing powder to further blend it into your skin tone and set the concealer in place. Once complete, small burns should be virtually invisible.
