Couperose – covering up redness
For dilated capillaries, professionals recommend green camouflage cream because green, as a complementary color, neutralizes red. Apply the color with a flat microfiber brush that, unlike natural hair brushes, does not absorb the color. Allow to dry briefly, then distribute skin-colored camouflage with a sponge or brush. Dust on setting powder. Leave to act for a short time and wipe off the residue with a special brush.

Large pores – For a finer complexion Large pores
on the nose, cheeks and chin develop when too much sebum is channeled through the narrow pores and they widen as a result. Foundation fluid makes the pores invisible and the complexion more even. Put a dab of fluid on the tips of your middle fingers, dab gently on the affected areas of skin and gently rub in from the inside to the outside. Even when touching up, only use as little product as necessary.

Shadows under the eyes – a fresh look
Blood and tissue fluid build up in the capillaries and are visible through the thin skin under the eyes. Make-up artists use yellow masking cream for shimmering bluish shadows and coral-colored masking cream for shimmering brown shadows. Dab the color very thinly in the inner corner of the eye and under the eye, gently pat in with the ring finger and smudge outwards. Leave to dry briefly. Then dab concealer to match the skin color and smudge to the sides.

Even out scars and pigment spots
Scars – even out unevenness
Whether acne scars or burn scars: medical camouflage with at least 50 percent pigmentation conceals even larger skin damage. This wax-oil based makeup is 100% waterproof and lasts up to 36 hours. Slightly heat the make-up on the back of your hand by rubbing it, then apply it very thinly with a fine-pored latex sponge and distribute evenly. Dust on setting powder. The ultra-light powder absorbs skin fat without making you look “floured”.

Pigment spots – even complexion Pigment
shifts, a typical sign of disturbed melanin formation, occur from around the age of 40, more frequently in sun-exposed areas. For small stains, it is enough to dab a camouflage make-up matching the skin color onto the areas with your fingertips and gently smudge it on all sides so that there are no edges. For larger areas, it is better to apply makeup to the whole face. To do this, spread a lentil-sized amount with a dry sponge in gentle circular movements from the center of the face outwards.
