How to Blend Foundation to Cover Acne Scars

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Kelly and on behalf of Expert Village, I am going to talk to you about concealing acne today. We're now going to match a foundation to the skin. I am going to be using an oil-free liquid foundation. You want to make sure you are using oil-free products and non-comediogenic products. Nothing that is going to lead to any clogging of the pores because that can contribute to breakout. So we're going to take a little bit of the foundation and we are going to do a stripe from cheek to jaw. We're going to let it sit for just a second and make sure it is not going to change color at all. I'm just going to really lightly pat it with the finger and it should basically just disappear into the skin. You shouldn't have to work really hard to blend the make-up. Your make-up should pretty much just melt right into the skin. If you're really hard to blend it, its probably not the right color. You also want to make sure that you don't have any line or demarcation along he jaw line. A line of demarcation is when your foundation kinda stops and starts and looks much darker than your neck. That's not a good look. Nobody should go for that look. You also, too, want to make sure that you are not choosing a foundation that is too dark for you. That can really drag down the skin. Especially for more mature skin, that can emphasize fine lines and wrinkles and make you look a lot older than you actually are, so you should really work hard to make sure you have the perfect color foundation."
