Step 1
Match your own skin tone with a non-comedogenic foundation. If you have trouble finding makeup that doesn't clog pores or finding the right shade of foundation, treat yourself to a visit to a department store makeup counter for suggestions. These people have training to cover up all kinds of facial flaws.

Step 2
Think about buying hypoallergenic or sensitive skin makeup if you are prone to breakouts. Some companies produce makeup specifically for acne-prone teens, but that doesn't mean you have to be a teenager to use it.
-
Step 3
Start with routine facial care of washing your face, applying astringent and moisturizing. Makeup is best applied to a clean face.
-
Step 4
Place a tiny amount of foundation on your fingertip and pat it on the affected area. Patting provides better coverage than rubbing.
-
Step 5
Apply the remainder of the foundation with fingers or a special makeup sponge for even coverage to your face. Be gentle in your application without rubbing the foundation in. Remember that less is more so that you can avoid having a caked look to your makeup.
-
Step 6
Consider using a matte face power to set the foundation and reduce any shine left on your face from skin oils.
