If you have acne prone skin than wearing makeup can be challenging. Finding the right kind of makeup that covers pimples and won't also clog your pores is a necessity. Using the wrong kinds of makeup can make the acne breakout worsen. So, it is critical that you find the right kind of makeup and know how to apply it properly.
Before you start applying your makeup it is important that you cleanse your face and neck to remove dead skin cells, debris, and oils. Many of the popular acne treatment systems come in a three step process that includes a cleanser, cleansing pads, and an acne lotion. If you are using an acne regimen system it is important that you follow the recommended process twice a day. Once you have cleansed your face or applied your acne treatment you can then apply your day cream moisturizer if you use one. Your daytime moisturizer is not going to cause pimples like one that has oil in it. Make sure that you apply it to your entire face and use a separate eye cream around the areas of your eyes.
Next use an oil free foundation and apply it to your face with your fingers. Using your fingers to apply makeup is better than using a sponge for those who are prone to acne because sponges that tend to spread certain bacteria that can causes pimples. Put on a layer of foundation, but don't put too much on an area that has pimples because it will draw attention to that area.
When applying blush you want to use a makeup brush by sweeping the brush onto the apples of the cheeks. However, if you happen to have some heavy acne on your cheeks, it's not advisable for you to use blush at all since it will emphasize the affected area.
When applying your eye shadow make sure to use a small brush and put as much or little as you desire. Eyeliner is fine also but you should just make sure that the shadow does not go onto any pimples near your eye area.
Apply concealer on any pimples that are still visible even after the foundation applied. Make sure to color match your foundation and concealer so that your makeup looks clean and fresh.
Add all of your finishing touches of a light powder and spread that with a brush all over you face to help set your makeup. Doing your makeup in this manner should keep the pimples covered all day while giving your complexion a nice soft and matte look.
