  • Next is foundation- Next step includes application of foundation or a BB cream, whatever suits you using a spread brush or a blending sponge.
  • Set it using powder- Now set all what you applied using powder. Do not overdo this as it may end up making your face look dull and cake. You can also use a setting spray to fix the makeup.
  • Your angry zit is hidden well- Now your acne is concealed successfully and you can flaunt your looks by the day.
