How to Cover a Zit for Men
- 1). Wash your face thoroughly, and then hydrate your complexion with a moisturizing cream or oil. Rub the moisturizer into you face until it seeps fully into your skin. Since concealer has a significantly thicker texture than standard foundation, hydrate your face to avoid an overly heavy makeup appearance.
- 2). Dab a tiny amount of concealer directly over your zit. Then, using your index fingertip, softly pat on it until it mixes with your skin and develops a natural, soft and even look.
- 3). Apply concealer to the zit with a cosmetics brush using "painting" motions, if you are experiencing a large and elevated pimple. Use a brush that has a thin tip and flat bristles for added precision. Simply dab your brush into the product and cover over the zit carefully. Take the time not only to cover up the prominent part of the zit, but also the sides.
- 4). Allow the concealer to "set." If you want your concealer to stay put over your zit, put a small coating of loose powder over it and the area surrounding it. Use a powder puff for this process. Loose powder is a light, silky and sheer powder that is used to make the skin tone look more even and natural after foundation and concealer application.
