An acne outbreak can last for weeks depending on the recovery methods. Getting rid of acne is really tough and the sufferer can feel embarrassed to go out with such face. So, while working on controlling and preventing the acne outbreak, you can apply little make up to hide acne scars and look clear and flawless. Here are few makeup tips to hide acne scars.

1. Wash your face with an acne soap or face wash and gently dry with a towel. Go for products which suit your skin tone.

2. Start with a concealer on your face. Select the concealer which matches with your skin colour for best results. Apply in on the affected areas to cover acne scars.

3. Now apply foundation over the concealer to hide the acne scars. You can choose liquid or powder foundation but the best is liquid form as it stays on the skin for a longer period when compared to foundation powder. Apply foundation with a cotton ball on the face and make a thin layer of it to cover the whole face from the hairline, chin, cheeks to ears. This makes the skin tone look same.

4. One of the makeup tips to hide acne scars is, one can also apply filler serum on the face first and then cover it up with powdered foundation followed by concealer.

5. You can use shiny powder to highlight the face and cover acne scars. It draws attention to the positive features in the face rather than the concealed dark spots or burst out acnes. Highlight the eyes especially upper eyelid and over the cheekbones.

6. One of the most commonly used makeup tips to hide acne scars is, apply bright coloured lipstick to grab eyes and use dark eye shadows to hide the concealed acne scars.

Use these makeup tips to hide acne scars and look flawless. Remember, apply makeup only when you need it, as acnes are best cured when the pores are allowed to breath.
