Answer 1

To conceal any spots, use a colour that is 1-2 shades lighter and blend in very well.  You can also use colour correctors.

Answer 2

MAC a concealer and "finisher" are great

buy

Foundation  from chanel

eyeliner  and eyeshadow from lancome

Lip Gloss and blush from forever

Translucent Powder and bronzer from Este lauder make-up  

Nail Polish and Nail Polish Remover from nivea

-Eyebrow Pencils and mascara from lancome , make-up forever or pourjous

all are great

these the best things I have tried

then you ask on how to conceal dark pimple marks, then follow these steps

1- Wash your hands before handling your face. Dirt and oils on your hands will only aggravate the blemish.

2- choose a concealer a little lighter than your blemish for hiding darker marks.

3-  Choose a masking cosmetic (which is thicker than concealer and has added pigment)

4- Apply the concealer or masking cosmetic over the blemish using your finger, an eye shadow brush or sponge.

5- Blend the edges with the surrounding skin, using a circular motion.

6-  Set the masking cosmetic with a special setting powder, then apply oil-free foundation and powder on top.

last thing steps to apply a natural look make-up

1-Apply a concealer that is one shade lighter than your foundation. Dot it on over any blemishes or under-eye circles and blend with your fingertips or a makeup sponge. If your concealer tends to cake, apply eye cream first.

2-Choose foundation that matches your skin tone exactly. Apply it in dots over the central part of your face, then blend it out with a makeup sponge or your fingertips until it covers your entire face

3- Use a loose or pressed powder to keep foundation and concealer on longer.

4-Do your eyebrows next. Use powdered eyebrow shadow on brows instead of pencil, which can often look unnatural. Apply it with a hard, slanted brush.

5- Choose three colors of eye shadow: light, medium and dark. Use the dark only to line your upper eyelid, in a fairly thin line along the upper lashes. Use the medium shade for the crease and the lightest shade for the area under the eyebrow. There are many variations on eye shadow application techniques

6-Apply eyeliner. Use a cake eyeliner with a damp, thin liner brush, or an eyeliner pencil, and line the lower lid below the lashes. Line only the outer two-thirds of the lower lid, or all the way across if you're trying to achieve a darker look. Line all the way across the upper lid (just above the lash line and as close to the lashes as possible), or start the line where your lashes begin.

7- Apply mascara to upper and lower lashes, in two thin coats to avoid clumpiness. Choose brown mascara if your coloring is fair; black or brown-black works well for darker coloring. Or try a colored mascara such as navy or plum for fun, but don't go too bright if you want to be taken seriously.

8- Smile to find the apples of your cheeks, and apply blush to the apples or below, whichever you prefer. If you have to blend in blush, it's too bright.

9-Choose a lipstick color that's suited to your skin tone and that's perfect for your day look. You can mix colors and textures to suit your moods and your outfits

10 - Line lips after applying lipstick, not before. That way you won't end up with a dark circle of lip liner after your lipstick has worn off. Avoid combining very dark lip liner and pale lipstick.

Follow the steps in the order given, and remember to clean and moisturize your face before applying makeup.

I hope this will help

Answer 4

Ok, I think you might love this website as much as I do: Smashbox cosmetics

http://www.smashbox.com/?gclid=CJPwvaK-n...

Even if you are not interested in purchasing their products (which I LOVE but they are very pricey and don't really fit into by budget these days), there are tips for problem areas, like under eyes, and also makeup application tips.

Now, as for the acne, the best solution is not to cover, but to prevent it. I can't tell you how much I love Proactiv. It is hands down the best acne treatment out there. If you are interested in trying that but don't want to join their "club" and get it shipped automatically and billed to a credit card, you can always find it on ebay and give it a try first to see if it is right for you. I bought mine off ebay for a few years before I finally broke down and just joined their club:

Answer 5

get a green (yes green!) corrector stick.  it's like concealer. dab a little bit on a red mark and then top it with a dab of regular concealer, then your usual foundation and red marks will be covered well.  do not use too much of the concealers or it'll just look weird.  the green cancels out red.

for purplish marks, get a yellow corrector stick.  use the same way as above.  yellow covers purple.

do not blend the correctors or concealers too much, or on any surface but the blemish.  just dab on and pat to set.  

use a medium coverage foundation (it ought to say that on bottle) and a light dusting of powder in the same shade.  if you aren't sure what shades to buy, go to a mall and ask a rep at the makeup counters.  their advice is free and they may even give you some tips.

use eyeliner sparingly.  make sure the tip is sharp.  the line you draw should not be thick.  start at mid-eye, at lash line, and draw a thin line out just BARELY past the end of eye.  use a neutral or black for most looks.

put mascara on as a thin coat.  let dry completely.  swipe on one more coat.  i don't like the brush to be too wet, so sometimes i wipe off the wand.  it can goop up if too wet.

i don't use bronzer, but if you do, use sparingly.  too much is weird and orangey looking.  

remember, practice makes perfect, experiment!!!
