"Many of us think that long-wearing, full-coverage products are inherently \"better\" because they offer a \"higher performance.\" But makeup isn't exactly like purchasing the latest iPhone! We must treat our faces in a customized, unique approach and adapt to whatever our skin is trying to tell us. This is especially true when it comes to covering up acne.\n\n You've likely watched in awe as many a YouTube guru has whipped out a full-coverage liquid or powder and then transformed their blotchy, acne-prone skin into the stuff of HD wonder. But that kind of technique, while truly amazing for the cameras, isn't necessarily optimal for everyday wear. (Or, the average person's schedule!) \"People with acne tend to say that 70% of their face has spots,\" says makeup artist Lisa Eldridge. \"But when you take the makeup off, it's usually maximum 15% and the rest of their skin can be absolutely perfect. You have to think about the overall skin, and then the acne. A lot of young people have spots, but they also have the most beautiful skin of their lives where they are clear!\"\n\n The key with covering up acne, then, is not to blanket your entire face with powder and product, but to perfect the overall canvas with a light veil and then spot-treat trouble areas. And instead of piling on concealer, Lisa buffs and stipples it into the skin with a fluffy eyeshadow brush, which is an essential makeup artist secret for an airbrushed finish.\n\n Lisa's video is easily the best, most natural way to deal with concealing troubled skin. Watch and be amazed by her video below, and then shop our picks for products similar to the ones she used!
