Boudoir beauty tips – concealing pimples, redness, puffy eyes and more

While we like doing fun things with makeup like accentuating eye colors and sculpting a more defined cheekbone, we know that sometimes Mother Nature rears her ugly head with a breakout or skin irritation. Other times maybe you've had a late night or you have a head cold and you just don't quite feel bombshell-worthy. Never fear. We have some fabulous tips for you, thanks to BreBeauty, a fabulous blog about beauty, makeup and skincare. Have a pimple? First off, don't mess with it! That only causes further redness and irritation. Consider playing up another feature to divert attention away from the problem area. So, for a blemish on your forehead or temple, amp up your lips with a red or poppy-colored lipstick or lipgloss. On the opposite side, if the pimple is on your chin, go for nude or clear lip gloss and use dark or bright eye colors. Dealing with redness or irritated skin? Start by applying a bit of moisturizer to the irritated area. (My go-to product is Rodan+Fields Dermatologists SOOTHE Sensitive Skin Treatment.) Next, use a yellow-based foundation or tinted moisturizer to help even out the redness in your skin. Avoid red or red-toned lip color, as this will draw attention to the redness in your skin.
