Are you worried bout dark patches and scars from pimples? Who isn't when every picture you take on your wedding day will be framed and kept for posterity. This brief article offers great solutions...
Conceal Blemishes
Conceal blemishes with very light foundation and cover-up formulas to avoid a mask-like look. Collier Strong, L'Oreal's Consulting Makeup Artist, recommends a thin coat of oil-free foundation followed by this spot treatment on red spots and zits: Mix a drop of Traceless Skin Responsive Corrector
-- about one-half the size of a pencil eraser -- with an equal amount of foundation on the back of your hand. Use the edge of a brush to apply the mixture directly on blemishes. Lock the cover-up in place with a coat of loose powder, then blend edges seamlessly with a cotton swab. It's kinder to irritated skin than a brush.
Concealer Cakes
"Concealer tends to cake when it gets dried out," says Max Factor Movie Makeup Artist Michelle Burke. "So be sure to moisturize and apply a healthy dose of eye cream before making up." Burke also recommends applying foundation first, and dotting concealer on extremely lightly, only where it's absolutely needed. Blend edges away with a brush to diminish product that could change texture.
