Bye-bye pimples! Stay «undercover» with this concealer hack

The final boss: acne. Cover it in make-up? Easier said than done. Use this trick to make it disappear reliably.

All you really want is to just conceal the pimple. But after blending your make-up, the redness makes a cheeky comeback. So you put another layer on. And another, until you’ve applied so much that the blemish is emphasised even more. This wasn’t how things were supposed to go. Only one option left: change the plan of attack!

It’s all about technique

By the way, Mikayla goes one step further in her recommendation. Unlike me, she applies her concealer straight after cleansing her face. In other words, without using a skincare product first. Contrary to all logic, she only uses it after the concealer dots have dried. She prefers water-based skincare, ensuring that the covered areas remain concealed. Oily products, on the other hand, will dissolve the concealer from your skin.

Sometimes it’s the details that make or break a hairstyle or make-up look. In my Blazing Beauty Tips series, I share useful techniques with you that I’ve either learned through my own experience or copied from the pros.

As a massive Disney fan, I see the world through rose-tinted glasses. I worship series from the 90s and consider mermaids a religion. When I’m not dancing in glitter rain, I’m either hanging out at pyjama parties or sitting at my make-up table. P.S. I love you, bacon, garlic and onions.
