Using Foundations for Covering Blemishes

Video Transcript

" Hi! I am Yvette Parrish, thanks for joining me at Expert Village. Today I am going to show you how to cover those pesky little acne marks, freckles or any blemishes you want to cover with the use of concealer or foundation. First thing we are going to do anytime you want to cover any kind of blemishes or dark circles or freckles, always put the foundation on first. We are always going to put foundation on first, because I guarantee you at least 50% of your blemishes are going to be covered by foundation, and people tend to go when they see themselves like this: oh my goodness I do not have any makeup, and they tend to go crazy with the concealer putting it here and putting it here, they are using the concealer like a foundation. Do not do it, use the concealer just to conceal what you need to conceal. So what I am going to do first is to apply the foundation completely, then we are going to see what we have left to conceal; and I guarantee at least 50% will be covered. We are going to use a cream foundation in honey milk. You know what I am going to do, I am going to do mix a special color. I am going to mix Tam a special color here. She is kind between a few shades, so I am going to take a light shade, and I have a little spatula and a palette, and I will grab a little bit of color and I will apply it there…. I am going to take a little bit of another color and I am going to mix her, her own foundation, and I just mix it like this. This is a palette that you can get at an art store, and you can get this tan also at an art store, and it is meant to mix acrylic paints and that type of thing. I am going to give her a little tan healthy glow. "
