“I can deal with pores and acne”, said no girl ever! The way different skin types require you to follow different skincare routines, similarly, different skin concerns require different makeup techniques.

Blackheads, acne and pores are all very real skin issues and minimizing their appearance is no easy feat. But that does not mean you cannot conceal your flaws. With the help of makeup, you can conceal those blackheads, pores and acne marks sitting on your nose, temporarily. Here’s how...

 

Prep with primer

Always use a primer to make sure you have an even base to work with. A primer not only helps smoothen out your face, but also makes your makeup last longer. Apply a small amount evenly across your face and ensure that you wait till your primer dries before applying any other product on your face. Using too much primer can make your foundation appear uneven.

 

Concealer is key

A concealer can help hide problem areas, especially those blackheads resting on either side of your nose. Pick a treatment concealer that contains one or more ingredients to treat acne directly. To apply concealer over your blackheads, layer it on gently in a rolling motion with the help of a beauty blender. Always remember to dab the concealer on the problem area, instead of rubbing.
