My acne coverage is flawless thanks to my mom – I have glowy skin during my worst breakouts, my $10 buy looks so natural
AN acne-prone woman has shared the makeup technique she learned from her mom that conceals her breakouts.
The trick gives her glowy skin using a cheap cosmetics buy that works even during her worst flare-ups.
Redditor Edirain shared a beauty tip that completely transformed their makeup routine.
She revealed in a post how it is all thanks to her mother that she has “natural, glowy, dewy skin.”
“My mom taught me a beauty tip when I was struggling with acne coverage,” she said.
Even with her worst breakouts, her skin looks great.
The key to it all has to do with the right products, and a cheap buy is at the center of it all.
The biggest tip to covering up her skin issues as to do with the exact step-by-step routine her mother taught her.
First, she applies concealer to set the base of her skin.
She follows it up with a lighter concealer on her red and bumpy breakouts.
She then blends it into her skin and puts on a skin tone-matching concealer on top of it as a second layer.
The Redditor admitted that she uses the Maybelline Super Stay concealer as an integral part of the process.
“It looks so natural you don’t even know,” she said.
“It really is a dream!” a Reddit user commented.
Once that is even spread on the skin, she explained that she lightly taps it and blends it in.
Next, she covers her face in a strong setting spray.
For additional coverage, she applies the skin tone concealer again on her problem areas.
Sometimes, it’s still not covered enough, so she has to take extra measures.
“I take a little powder and tap it on the areas that need more coverage,” she explained.
She mists herself with the setting spray one last time,

Finally, she completes the routine with the concealer to match the rest of her on top of that.
Once that is done, she completes the rest of her makeup regimen, which includes blush, mascara, and anything else she needs.
She shared an additional tip for any “really visible bump acne spots.”
“I just take an eyebrow pencil and turn it into a small beauty mark,” she suggested.
