In some cases, specific concealers are needed to cover facial imperfections. “Depending on the color of the blemish, skin-colored concealer alone will not be effective and will not cover it completely,” explains Sabrina Simões.

And if the the spot is reddish, as for acne, opt for a green concealer. For all situations, remember to apply a nude concealer over the camouflage concealer.
