It may seem strange to use the green concealer, but it can actually neutralize the redness caused by pimples and acne breakouts. This is due to the theory of complementary colors, which are opposites on the color wheel. When you combine them they cancel each other out. The opposite color to red is actually green, so if you have a red pimple, a green concealer can neutralize it and help you cover it well. Proper use of this product can make the skin smooth and even.
Steps
Part 1 of 2: Choosing the Right Products
Step 1. Consider using a green primer as well
If it is a subtle pimple or mild inflammation, this product may be preferable. Green primer is lighter and more transparent than most concealers, so you are less likely to create an ugly mask effect. However, with big and noticeable pimples it is better to use a concealer, which is more effective at covering them.
Step 2. Choose a light concealer
Many people worry that it will cause an unsightly mask effect, so avoid it by looking for a light green concealer that is low in oil. You can also moisturize your skin before applying it to avoid getting a heavy and sloppy effect.
Step 3. Apply it with a sponge
You can find it in perfumery. You can get better results by tapping it gently with a sponge, rather than smearing it with your fingers. Applying it with your fingers not only risks making a mess, the skin is contaminated with bacteria that can make acne worse. Use them only to take it from the container and dot it on the face before proceeding with the actual application.
Step 4. Remember that the green concealer is not suitable for any skin imperfection
It is only effective in the case of redness, as green interacts with red. If the pimples are not particularly inflamed, it may be preferable to choose a yellow concealer to cover them.
Part 2 of 2: Correcting a Pimple
Step 1. Wash and moisturize your face before applying the concealer
This can help you make your makeup look smoother and avoid shedding bacteria that can make acne worse.
- Wash your hands before starting. Create a nice lather with the soap and wash them for about 20 seconds. To keep track of the time you can hum the song "Happy Birthday to You" twice. Then, rinse them off.
- If you have acne problems, try using a specific antibacterial soap.
- Use a moisturizer that's right for your skin. Choose an oil-free one to avoid worsening the situation.
Step 2. After washing your face, apply the green concealer to the affected areas
Puncture it with your index finger, then gently pat it on your face with a sponge to get a smooth result. You can also use it in case of discoloration in the eye area.
Step 3. With the green concealer on, apply foundation and regular concealer on top of it
You can do the rest of your face as usual. Remember that you should dot the concealer on the affected area and then gently pat it with a sponge.
Step 4. After applying concealer and foundation, finish your makeup as usual
The skin should appear smoother and the pimples less visible.
