Liquid Bandage For Covering Pimples

contest winner icon
I get pimples quite often. I noticed a while back that my liquid makeup and foundations would cover everything except my pimples, and that would make them stand out even more. What is worse is trying to apply makeup on to popped or scratched pimples. Not only does it look worse, it might also cause an infection.

Here's my new beauty secret: dab a bit of liquid bandage on pimples with a q-tip, let it dry, then apply makeup. When the liquid bandage dries, it forms a barrier that is antiseptic, flexible and waterproof. It's great!

You can get liquid bandage at any drugstore or online.

I usually use a piece of gauze and duct tape. The gauze absorbs the color of the makeup while the tape prevents it from rubbing off. I do the same with cold sores on the lip, except that I use lipstick instead of foundation. I used to runway model for charity events and this was a great last minute emergency fix for unexpected breakouts.
