Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Face wash
Moisturizer
Cream concealer
Loose face powder
Powder brush
Well-lit mirror

Step 1

Wash your face thoroughly with the face wash. Pay particular attention to the blemish that you want to hide. Having your skin clean will give your concealer the best surface to go on to hide your blemish.
Step 2

Moisturize the blemish that you need to hide. Dry skin will make the concealer look cakey and peel after it has been applied.
Step 3

Apply the concealer to the blemish with the tip of your finger. Dab the concealer onto the area of the blemish until it is completely covered.
Step 4

Blend the edges of the concealer into the rest of your makeup. This will erase any line that is made by the concealer.
Step 5

Apply loose face powder over the blemish to set the concealer in place. This will keep the concealer from wearing off.
