Video Transcript

"Hi, I am Kelli and on behalf of Expert Village I am going to talk to you about concealing acne today. Before we apply any makeup to the face you want to make sure your hands are clean. If you have any dirt or bacteria on your hands that is going to transfer to the skin and that is going to lead to clogging and breakouts. You really want to minimize touching your face as much as possible and every time you do touch your face just make sure your hands are nice and clean. We are going to be applying a foundation primer to the skin before we apply any makeup. Basically what your foundation primer is going to do is it is going to even the texture and tone of the skin. It is going to minimize the appearance of pores and fine lines and wrinkles. It also helps to distribute the color evenly on the face. It keeps your makeup truer to color, keeps it looking fresher throughout the day and it will minimize any oily shine. There is a couple of different color correcting primers that you could use if you experience a lot of redness, you could use a green based primer and this will help to neutralize some of the redness you are experiencing. If you have had a lot of acne scarring, a lot of bluish or purple discolorations on the skin you could use a yellow based primer and that would help to neutralize that. "
