Acne sucks. And if you do, you know how frustrating it
can be to have makeup all over your face every morning. Redness, flakes, shine,
and outright tenderness can make your skin look more like a hot spot painted by
numbers than a normal face. So we reached out to Robin Black, makeup artist and
founder of Beauty Is Boring, for her best makeup tips for acne-prone skin.techbizcenter.
Get ready, get ready, then cook some more.
“Properly exfoliating and hydrating your skin is the most important step in
creating a smooth, healthy complexion,” says Black. I mean, you wouldn't paint
a table without sanding, right? However, don't overdo it with a scrub; it can
only irritate acne even more. We love Olay Pore Minimizing Cleanser + Scrub,
which is gentle enough to use every morning.technologywebdesign.
Stock up on duct tape. So he went overboard on the
acne cream and his skin was flakier than a croissant. Surprisingly, base and
flakes don't mix. “If you're in a hurry, try dabbing your skin with duct tape,”
Black says. “The tape will gently remove flaky spots without damaging your
skin. Then apply some moisturizer on the dry spot, leave it on for a few

Use a light hand. "People think acne and acne
scars require a thick, fully covering base, but too many layers will accentuate
the texture of the skin and draw attention to acne," Black says. Instead,
use a sheer foundation like BareMinerals Pure Brighten Serum Foundation to
“show the acne and scar free areas of your skin,” and keep the actual masking
for concealers.tipsfromcomputertechs.
Use color correctors. “If I still see
discoloration on acne scars after applying a clear base coat or tinted
moisturizer, I recolor each scar with a color corrector and then touch it with
my finger to blend it,” says Black, who loves Make Up For Ever. 5 Camouflage
Cream Palette for blemishes and scars. "Deeper peach, tangerine, and orange
tones are best for neutralizing acne scars, which tend to be cooler." popbom
Add some shine. After you've diligently added
primer, concealer, color correctors, foundation, blush, a light coat of powder
(see why thin sheer coats are important?), Your skin might look a little ... dull.
"Don't forget to bring back the glow to the skin by applying a subtle
highlighter to the cheekbones, Cupid's arch, and browbone at the end." Our
favorite: Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector in Champagne Pop, which looks good on
all skin tones (we must know, we've tried it on almost all skin tones).digitalmarketingtrick.
