Acne/Blemish Covering Makeup - Foundation & Concealer Tutorial

Covering acne with makeup is about finding the perfect balance of product and technique for naturally beautiful skin.

I'm sharing my signature Pinpoint Concealing Technique: my proven method for covering blemishes that I've refined throughout my entire career. Born from my own experience with adult acne, this technique gives you undetectable, breathable coverage that enhances your skin rather than masking it.

Love, Lisa Xx

FAQs
What is the Pinpoint Concealing Technique?
My signature method for imperceptibly disguising spots with undetectable coverage. Apply a light-coverage foundation, target a high-coverage concealer directly on blemishes, then buff the edges seamlessly into surrounding skin.

Is it bad to put concealer over acne?
No, but formula matters. Use a non-comedogenic, matte concealer to avoid clogging pores and to visually flatten raised bumps. Avoid illuminating formulas on breakouts.

How do you cover acne without it looking cakey?
Keep foundation light, concealer targeted, and blend edges with a soft fluffy brush. Place concealer directly on blemishes and feather the edges into surrounding skin for high coverage that looks completely natural.

What's the best concealer for acne?
I used Vichy Dermablend Foundation in this video. I've since developed my own Seamless Skin Foundation for medium, buildable, skin-like coverage. My Pinpoint Concealer Pencil is designed specifically for this technique, intensely pigmented with an ultra-precise tip for micro-camouflaging blemishes naturally.

How do I make concealer last all day?
Set with a light dusting of translucent powder using a soft brush or sponge. Focus only on covered spots, not the whole face, for a breathable, natural finish that lasts.
