It is ideal to use a green colour corrector on the pimples before concealing the spots, this neutralises the redness. Using orange correctors or not using a corrector at all isn't the best idea, because it makes the problem more obvious.
02/7Trying to mask big bumps with cakey layers
We know this will break your heart but spots cannot really be masked, so adding additional concealer on top only raises the bump. So, for a bit of sheer coverage, you can opt for MAC Studio Fix Powder Foundation.
03/7Not letting the product sit for a bit
It is necessary to stay for a bit and let the concealer settle onto your skin. Do not immediately start sheering it. You shouldn't apply concealer on and immediately start sheering it out. The concealer takes time to seep into the skin and settle in, giving decent coverage.
04/7Concealing before the foundation has settled in
You should first get 100% coverage from your foundation as it’s less cakey. If you apply concealer before the foundation it won’t say it will slip off so make sure to apply foundation first.
05/7Skipping primer
As the pimples are often oily the concealer can slip off, hence it is essential to apply primer as it allows the concealer to stay for a longer time.
06/7Not exfoliating flakes and peeling skin first
Before covering any part of your skin you need to first have a smooth base. If you forget to exfoliate the flakes, the covering will look uneven. Hence the first and the most important tip is to exfoliate your skin.
07/7Overusing a brush leaving bald spots
It is not a good idea to overuse your brush to blend the concealer, as some of the brushes leave bald spots and it will brush off the product.
