Don't you hate those models and celebrities with the perfect skin! Guess what, they don't exist. With these tips, you too can fix skin imperfections.

No one has perfect skin. With a couple of essential tools and simple techniques you can fix skin imperfections and have the appearance of perfect skin.

Basic tools you will need to cover skin imperfections: concealer, foundation, yellow-based concealer, foundation brush and a concealer brush.

  • How to cover dark-circles under eyes:
    1. Take a concealer brush and apply concealer where the discoloration is. Make sure not to apply on your "normal" skintone. If discoloration is very dark, use a yellow concealer.
    2. Next, take your ring finger and in a tapping motion blend the concealer.
    3. Then apply your foundation. I think it is easier to apply the foundation using a foundation brush over the areas where you used concealer. Use a tapping motion as you go over those spots that you just concealed.
  • How to cover up blemishes, zits and pimple:
    1. Apply your foundation first.
    2. Using a concealer that matches your skintone, apply with a concealer brush right on the pimple.
    3. Then blend the edges with your finger.
  • For varicose veins, spider veins, broken capillaries and age spots:
    1. Take a concealer brush and apply concealer directly on the vein.
    2. Again, blend the edges with your finger.
    3. Finish with your perfect match foundation and tap over the areas where you used the concealer.

Doing this with foundation on a pimple makes it look "cakey" and disgusting...

If it looks cakey then youa re using too much product. Apply thin, buildable layers.

How about pale green concealer for red spots? For instance, pimples, eczema, etc.

Green concealers will work for red spots, just be careful to blend them into the skin, otherwise they are very noticeable.
