SOS: How do I cover a pimple for the holiday party I have tonight?

At this time of year, between the mountains of holiday stress and endless indulgent treats, it’s not uncommon to wake up to Mount Vesuvius brewing on your chin. Don’t fret: we have a failsafe method to cover up those spots seamlessly.

Our own Dr. Robin Schaffran recommends an easy two-step process: patch and conceal.

First, apply a hydrocolloid pimple patch to provide a smooth surface to conceal. Second, apply a good concealer on top to create a seamless finish. Dr. Schaffran recommends NYX Concealer Wand. Its consistency is not too heavy, but provides enough coverage to do the trick.

Finish the evening with your 3-Step System — a double cleanse with your Gentle Foam Cleanser is never a bad idea — and your newfound pimple will be a distant memory in no time.
