Lord knows I’ve been in search of the perfect cover up and the perfect cover up technique for acne lesions and acne scars, and newly formed acne scars for a long time. There are actually a few that are worth noting, however you really also have to know the right technique for blending them and applying them to get the optimal, most covering results you can for skin that appears to be clear and flawless, but of course isn’t. I like to make sure first that I use a full coverage foundation, and I’ve recently found that Revlon Colorstay foundation for oily/combination skin is one of the best covering for my skin.

When you have a great base foundation, it’s all that much easier to cover up your blemishes seemlessly. Of course, if the blemish is really large and inflamed, that always presents a challenge for covering it up because it’s obviously hard to cover something up that is a large bump, no matter how well you blend it in. However, if you really know how to blend your concealer, then you can make a blemish appear much smaller and less noticeable, no matter what it’s size, so it’s important to remember that before throwing in the towel and swearing off going out in public for a while til the dang thing heals.

There are some excellent choices out there for concealers. One of the better ones is Laura Mercier’s cream concealer, but you need to make sure you have a good concealer brush to apply it with to get optimal results, which she does sell. If you don’t want to spend such big bucks on a brush though, you can opt to buy something less expensive on the lower end at Target. Sonia Kashuk makes some great brushes, and there is another line they sell there that is eco friendly that has gotten rave reviews, although I have never tried those ones yet.

It’s important when you are dipping into the concealer, or if you’re dabbing it on the zit directly, to not apply to much, and to dab it instead of rubbing it. You want the product to look like a dot on the blemish, and then you want to come in and delicately pad it with your finger or a brush until it blends in well. Rubbing will just make you need to start over since you’re essentially rubbing the product right out of the blemish making it necessary to apply more.
