It is virtually inevitable that at some point in time, a lowly pimple (or three) will threaten a woman’s fabulous complexion on a very important date night. Acne is just as devastating in adult life as it is in adolescence. While there are plenty of remedies that purport to destroy acne within a few hours (or at the very least, overnight), there are few cosmetic products that can adequately conceal their existence.
Temptu Airbrushing System
Now here’s an extreme option for covering up unsightly bumps. Temptu’s airbrushing system is quite elaborate in its appearance. But the results are simple. To achieve the flawless looking skin that you’ve observed on your favorite celebrities, simply spray a light mist of the Temptu cosmetics over your face with the AIRPod. Then retouch problem areas with the highlighter or powder brushes that come with the kit. While the system doesn’t focus on problem areas explicitly, Temptu’s misty coverage helps to conceal light acne better than “cakier” options.
Murad
Murad is a product that has been specifically designed to treat acne, while serving as a concealer for unsightly blemishes. The make up comes in three different shades (light, medium, and medium-dark) and is oil-free. According to the package, you will probably notice that acne begins to clear as a whole within a couple of weeks.
Black Opal Cover & Clear Acne Concealer
African-American women often have problems with oil buildup, thus creating unattractive pimples. Black Opal Cover & Clear is a cosmetic that comes in a tube. The make-up is applied with a wand, much like lip gloss. The good thing about Black Opal is that this product is offered in multiple brown tones: Honey, Toast, Tan, Beautiful Bronze, and Mahogany. While covering the blemish, salicylic acid in the product is helping to fight the acne underneath. It is best to apply the concealer lightly, at least three times daily to ensure coverage and to continue the “medicating” process.
Maybelline Green Cover Stick Concealer
Many women overlook green concealer sticks when considering how to cover their acne breakouts. Indeed, the sickly green shade of the cosmetic is a little off-putting. But many reviewers will tell you that green sticks are great for covering the redness that often accompanies breakouts. Green concealer in some cases (when applied with care) is often better at hiding under-eye circles than other products.
Bare Escentuals RareMinerals Blemish Therapy
Mineral make-up has become all the rage. Jumping onto the bandwagon is Bare Escentuals RareMinerals Blemish Therapy employs natural sulfur to treat acne. The powdered product comes with a small applicator brush and can be used an overnight treatment. Nonetheless, it is designed to be worn underneath RareMinerals foundation makeup for extra acne coverage.
Smart Cover Cover-Up Kit
Smart Cover is a product touted as a Hollywood favorite. According to the website, the elaborate kit contains 10 items that does everything under the sun including concealing problem areas such as acne. While the product does not purport to treat blemishes, the cosmetics have been designed to hide dark circles, varicose veins, rosacea, and even tattoos. Smart Cover resists smudging, and can be used on various parts of the body.
