Instructions

How to Reduce the Appearance of Broken Capillaries on the Face

1. Apply your face makeup however you normally would. If you don't usually apply makeup to your face, use an oil absorbing sheet on your entire face, including the area with the broken capillaries.

2. Apply light dots of stick foundation (not under-eye concealer) over the broken capillaries. Blend the makeup with your fingertips, using small tapping motions, until the capillaries are covered and the edges of the makeup fade into your skin.. Do not rub. Rubbing will wipe away most of the makeup and make the area even redder than before.

3. Dust loose powder over your entire face, including the area with capillaries. Keep the foundation stick and loose powder with you so for touch-ups as necessary .
