..How to Cover a Blemish

Okay, I know this is not the most glamorous topic, but I thought it would be a helpful one.  We all get these pesky blemishes once and a while, especially during stressful times (unless you are one of those totally annoyingly lucky people that just has beautiful glowing skin all the time), and I thought you all might want to know my tricks of the trade.  I don't know if you guys know this, but I don't have Photoshop or anything like that so if I have a zit, I have to cover it the old fashioned way.  And while digital touch up is great, it's WAY more important to look and feel good in the flesh.  Here is how I create the optical illusion you see above, and it is au-natural, not edited, promise!

1. Make sure the area is really well moisturized. I would even exfoliate in the shower then apply a really great moisturizer right after.  Makeup in general doesn't sit well on dry skin, this is even more applicable for broken out skin.
2. Using your ring finger, gently blot a concealer that is your exact skin match onto the spot over and over until completely blended. Never rub it into the skin!
3. Take a translucent setting powder and again using your ring finger, blot over the area gently.  Bobbi Brown actually makes a creamy concealer kit that comes with both (which is what you see here).  You can repeat steps 2 and 3 once more if you want even more coverage.
4.  With a makeup sponge, gently blot off any excess product.  Voila!  You are now ready to go back out in public!
