Zits are the worst, amirite? And it’s like impossible to cover a zit or red spot! Since I’ve spent nearly half my life dealing with acne, I’ve perfected the art of covering it up.

I’ll give you a little tip too, it’s much easier to cover a bump than a scab so you really shouldn’t pick! If you pick, it’s going to take your blemish forever to heal. It’s just best to not touch.

Behold, your ultimate step-by-step guide to covering a zit featuring my face my lovely zit.

Start with a fresh face

Wash your face, tone and moisturize. Do whatever you do skin-wise to prep. Apply your primer if you use one as well!

Identify your culprit

Oh hey, zit! Thanks for coming, but I don't want anyone to see you.

Grab some concealer

CoverGirl Invisible Cream Concealer is my weapon of choice. It's my favorite concealer at the moment. You can get it here!

Put your concealer on a brush

You could use the doe-foot applicator that comes with most concealers, but if you apply directly to a blemish and then stick it back in the tube, you're contaminating everything. So grab a brush that you can clean after each use!

Stick it on your zit

Just dab it right on there

See?

Don't use too much. You can always apply more.

Blend!

And by blend I mean dab your brush lightly over your blemish and the surrounding area until it's covered.

Poof! Gone!

No zit here.

Finish the rest of your makeup

I dusted on some powder to cover my whole face. You can't even tell I had a zit in the first place!

Ta-da!

You're all set!
