Things You'll Need:
- Water-based foundation
- Concealer
- Powder
-
Step 1
Begin by applying a light, water-based foundation over the entire area. Blend the edges well and avoid using too much. Using too much will result in an over-made look, and may even lead to a bad complexion.
-
Step 2
Carefully choose the right color of concealer. This will depend on the color of the birthmark. For a blue or purple tinted birthmark, a yellowish concealer will work the best. For a birthmark that is basically flesh colored but just darker than the natural skin tone, use a concealer that matches the skin tone but is at least two shades lighter. For a light pink birthmark, use a concealer that matched the natural skin tone. For a wine-colored birthmark, use a concealer that is flesh colored but a shade lighter and tinted yellow.
-
Step 3
Dab the concealer onto the birthmark. If using a creamy concealer, let it dry for a few moments before blending.
-
Step 4
Blend the concealer carefully. Do not wipe it off, and do not spread the concealer outside the lines of the birthmark.
-
Step 5
Powder the entire area well. This will keep the makeup in place. For the most natural look, use a translucent powder.
