How To Conceal Wedding Day Blemishes

Dark Circles Under the Eye

1.  Make two cold compresses.  Place a handful of ice in a bag. Wrap the bag in a cloth napkin or other fabric.  Repeat for the other eye.

2.  Sit up straight.  Keep your head elevated above your heart-do not lie down before applying the compresses.

3.  Apply compresses.  Hold the compresses on the eyes for 10 minutes.

4.  Check under the eyes.  If the bags remain continue to step 5.

5.  Steep two tea bags in warm (not boiling) water for two minutes.  Black tea is most effective, but any variety of non-herbal tea will suffice. Tannic acid, which reduces swelling, is not present in herbal teas.

6.  Place the tea bags in ice water to cool.

7.   Apply tea bags to eyes.  Squeeze out the excess liquid, then place and hold one tea bag over each closed eye for 5-10 minutes.

8.  Check under the eyes.  The bags should be noticeably smaller or have disappeared altogether.  Place a small amount of under eye concealer that is one shade lighter than your foundation if the lids are recessed or one shade darker if they are puffy.

Pimple

1.  Apply a warm compress.  Soak a hand towel, in hot water, then hold it against the pimple for at least 1 minute.

2.  Assess.  Check the pimple.  If it has a small white area at the center, it has come to a head.  It may be popped to relieve pressure and lessen swelling.  fF there is no visible head go to step 4.

3.  Pop the pimple. 

4.  Apply makeup.

Rash

1.  Apply ice.  If the rash is itchy, place ice in a bag, wrap it in a napkin and place on the rash.  Wait 10-15 minutes.

2.  If redness or swelling persist, apply 5-10 drops of redness relieving eye drops to the affected area.  Spread evenly.

3.  Cover.  If any redness remains apply  a small amount of light green matte eye shadow to the rash.

4.  Conceal with gloves , a scarf or jewelry.
