Why You Need to Rethink Your Makeup When Bad Breakouts Find Your Face!

Makeup colors can work for or against you so be sure that you're in the know when those bad breakouts strike.  

A bad breakout usually likes to happen when you have something important on your calender–-like a big date or job interview.  However, there is even more that you can do that you might have overlooked.  After you do all you can to minimize the redness and cover it, you need to think carefully about the color of those other cosmetics that you wear when this occurs.

If you don’t want to call attention to that “zit,” then steer clear of red lipsticks, glosses, stains and blushes that can only draw out that blemish’s color like a spotlight taken to your face.  Instead, you can downplay that redness with nudes or soft brown shades!

Do read my earlier post with some helpful blemish concealing tricks.  You also might want to try this additional post with a simple fix for masking the redness of a blemish.

The Best Way to Hide a Blemish and Mask the Redness!

Blemishes always seem to erupt at the worst times. With Valentine’s Day so close, I thought I should post this helpful bit of advice just in case that lovely face of yours has or should get some angry looking blemishes that could spoil the occasion.  

When this would happen to me, I had always relied on a tube of thick stick concealer in the past for this purpose. However, I later discovered the more control you gain by using a concealer pencil because your aim is more targeted and precise.   Also, the drier texture manages to mask the problem better.  At the same time, the product in this form seems to stay in place longer than a slicker version.

In a previous post, I shared a great tip on how to calm down redness around the blemish with Visine that I want to remind you about.  Please  do this ONLY if you didn’t pick at it and have any open skin.  After all, you don’t want to land up looking worse by getting that blemish infected–so this is what you should do.

Hopefully, this post will help you stay pretty!
