Acne is one of the most common conditions that attack the skin. Acne does not discriminate with age, race or ethnicity. Even after your acne is effectively treated, sometimes acne scars are left on the skin. One way of covering your acne scars is by properly applying makeup to the skin.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

concealer stick
liquid foundation
bronzer or loose powder
two makeup sponges

How to Diminish the Appearance of Acne Scars on the Face With Makeup

Step 1

Apply the concealer to the acne scars.
Step 2

Take one clean makeup sponge and gently smear the concealer into the skin.
Step 3

Squeeze the foundation onto a clean sponge and rub into the skin, starting from the chin and going upward toward the cheek, then the forehead and back down to the chin.
Step 4

Apply the powder in between the eyebrows up to the hair line, from cheek to ear and from bottom lip to tip of chin.

Tips & Warnings

Do not over-apply the concealer. Apply only enough to diminish the appearance of the scar. Make sure the sponge and all other makeup materials are clean. Make sure the concealer is half a shade to one shade darker than your foundation. Applying the powder as directed will eliminate shine and the appearance of scars.
