Concealer

When you want to distract everyone’s attention from focusing your pimples, you may use a light concealer to cover it. However, a light concealer will actually highlight your acne. All you need is a concealer that is slightly darker than your foundation and to blend it with your foundation. It helps cover your acne by tapping it with your ring finger.

Clean up your makeup brushes and sponge

Makeup doesn’t necessarily trigger the breakouts, but makeup tools do. Never have your makeup application tools cleaned is one of the main reasons that lead to more breakouts. Therefore, the brushes should be cleaned at least once a week to avoid the bacteria building up. Using antibacterial wipe directly to clean up your makeup tools each time after use could also help prevent the breakouts.
