You may also experience pimples later in life. And even though your hair looks great or if you're just rocking at work, that one pimple is sometimes hard to cover up. And that can be due to these five errors:

1. You don't let it heal properly

Applying tons of makeup over your breakout will not only make your pimple even clearer, but will also delay the healing process. Never apply makeup to an open, freshly squeezed pimple. This is not only unsanitary, it will also heal less quickly and well.

2. You use 'dirty' makeup brushes and sponges

Failure to wash your makeup brushes and sponges can result in it becoming a breeding ground for bacteria. Enne, that can cause your acne to get worse. Clean your makeup brushes at least once a month.

3. You don't hydrate your skin well enough.

Even if you don't suffer from acne, a good moisturizer should always be a first step before applying makeup. This serves as the basis for your foundation and concealer. In addition, it ensures that your makeup looks natural.

4. You don't use color correction

It may look fierce, but once you understand how the colors work, they can be the secret weapon to hide your pimples. For example, green helps to obscure red, which makes your concealer stand out better.

5. You use the wrong color concealer

This can sometimes be just as difficult as finding the right shade foundation. Choose to camouflage your bumps for your own skin color or a shade that is just a bit deeper. Why not a light color? This 'lights up' your irregularities, as it were, so that you put them in the spotlight.
