Tips for using pressed powder to cover up acne?
I have moderate acne and am sick of it showing. I just had a hormonal flare up and tomorrow want to cover my acne up a bit with pressed powder. I am not a makeup (I wear eyeline and occasionally mascara but that's it) wearer, so any tips for using powder to conceal acne? Any tips for blending powder? Also, should powder be used just on your cheeks or on the forehead and chin, too? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
Honestly, powder is not the best choice to use for covering up acne, but if that is all you have, then we will make it work! (I can feel your pain re: hormonal flare up, too) (smile).
The best thing for you to use would be a creamy/liquid concealor or foundation, then set with powder. But, when using a powder to cover up . . .
Use a small headed brush and dip it in your powder. Tap it directly on your blemish. This step has two benefits: it will give a more concentrated coverage, and also keep things as sanitary as possible. You do not want to keep using your puff that comes with your compact because you will be putting bacteria in the sponge and the powder, and you will never get rid of your acne that way.
Next, set your entire face with a light dusting of powder using a large brush, or the powder puff that comes with your compact.
When just using powder as a setting powder, I would dust it where you are oily, usually that would be your t-zone area (concentrating on your forehead, nose, chin and a bit on your cheeks).
Keep your brushes and puffs clean, and wash your face every night.
Good luck!
