Flaw & Zit cover - how do you apply? (head, tone, red)

[pitt_transplant]

Everyone has thier way of doing this I just wondered if anyone wanted to share.

I used to try to TOTALLY cover things in youth which looks gross unless you touch it up every 4 hours. Anyway now I opt for sheer to tone it down and use a mineral concealer for it. It seems to make it go away faster than glopping it on and it looks way better too. I just apply it wet with a tiny tip of an angled liner brush and set with powder. If it is really red I drop visine on it or ice.

Eh, unless I have a major thing (dinner party, interview, etc) I don't cover it at all. Heals better and faster that way, even if unsightly.

If you notice it coming out the night before, gently wash your face and then put a big gob of Oxy on it. Leave it on all night. In the morning it will either be greatly reduced in size, nearly totally gone, or will have brought it to a head. The last of the three looks horrible but it means it's nearly over.
