In case there are one or two pimples on the skin, Blunder recommends using the concealer pointwise (pinpoint-concealing technique). Makeup artist believes that with an even complexion and only a pair of pimples, you can easily do without foundation. Only a little concealer and perfect shading. But with more serious skin problems, you will have to spend more time.

So,

how to hide a pimple and even out the tone of the problem skin

1. Prepare the skin by applying a moisturizer according to the type of skin – so cosmetics will lie evenly.
2. Align your complexion with a foundation in tone to the neck. Be sure to use the lightest possible formula. Monika advises that you do not need to mask the entire skin of the face. Just even the tone. If the face has a dense foundation, this will emphasize all the roughness.
3. To hide the pimple, Monika recommends using not a concealer, but a more pigmented, resistant tonal foundation with corrective properties. Her favourite products are Kevyn Aucoin The Sensual Skin Enhancer, Estee Lauder Double Wear Maximum Cover and Vichy Dermablend Fluid Corrective Foundation 16HR. Choose a very pigmented product, apply it pointwise to pimples with a small fluffy brush. Use your fingers to blend the borders.
4. For the area under the eyes, use a concealer with a light formula and reflective particles.
5. Fix tonal products with transparent powder. Makeup artist recommends using a buff rather than a brush on problematic skin. Lightly apply the powder into the area of inflammation to fix the tone on it.

Important note: If pimples occur in the highlighting zone (cheekbones and temples), it is better to pass by areas where there is inflammation because the shimmer only emphasizes the roughness on the skin.
