Basic ideas for covering skin-colored blemishes
Types and characteristics of spots
In order to naturally cover skin blemishes, it is important to first understand the types of blemishes. By knowing the characteristics of each, you can choose the appropriate method to cover them.
Pigmentation spots (brownish)
Brown spots are caused by pigmentation due to UV rays and aging. They often appear on areas that are exposed to the sun, such as the cheeks and forehead. For this type of spot, an orange-based concealer is effective. It evens out uneven skin tone and creates a natural finish.
Freckles and red spots
Freckles and red spots are caused by genetic factors and skin inflammation. They are often noticeable around the nose and cheeks. In this case, you can use a green control color to reduce the redness. Then, you can cover the area with a concealer.
Bluish spots or dark circles under the eyes
Bluish dark spots and dark circles under the eyes are caused by poor circulation and fatigue. They are often found around the eyes, so a yellow-toned concealer is ideal for this type of dark spot. It will neutralize the blueness and give you a healthier complexion.
Items required for cover
Choosing the right products is important to naturally cover blemishes. Try using the following products to achieve the results you desire.
Types and features of concealers
Concealer is an essential item for pinpointing and hiding blemishes and freckles. Liquid types spread easily and are easy to use over a wide area. On the other hand, stick types have high coverage and are suitable for dark blemishes. Cream types adhere easily to the skin and achieve a natural finish. By using different types depending on the type and area of blemish, you can cover it more effectively.
The role of control color
Control colors are makeup bases that even out uneven skin tone. For example, there are greens that suppress redness and purples that remove dullness. By applying a thin layer of control color, the overall skin tone becomes even, allowing the concealer and foundation you use next to work more effectively.
Tip : It's important not to apply the control color too thickly. Applying it thinly and evenly will help maintain a natural finish.
How to combine with foundation
Foundation is a base item that makes the skin look even. When covering blemishes, use concealer first and then apply foundation on top for a natural finish. Liquid foundation blends easily into the skin, while powder foundation creates a light finish. Choose according to your skin type and preferences.

Techniques for choosing the right color for skin blemishes
Choosing the right color is very important to naturally cover skin blemishes. By choosing the right color, you can make blemishes less noticeable and even out the overall skin tone. Here we will explain in detail how to choose a concealer or control color that matches the color of your blemishes and your skin tone.
How to choose a concealer that matches the color of your blemishes
By choosing the right concealer for your blemishes, you can cover them more effectively. Below are the best colors for each blemish.
Orange for brown spots
Brown spots often appear due to pigmentation caused by UV rays and aging. For this type of spot, an orange-based concealer is ideal. Orange neutralizes the brown color and evens out uneven skin tone. For large spots on the cheeks, forehead, etc., apply a thin layer of orange to create a natural finish.
Tip : If you apply an orange-toned concealer precisely to areas with dense blemishes, it will create an even skin tone while still leaving a natural look.
Green for redness
Green control colors are effective for red spots and freckles. Green helps to suppress redness and gives the skin a calmer look. If you are concerned about redness around your nose or cheeks, apply a thin layer of green and then layer concealer on top for a more natural finish.
Tip : When using green shades, it's important to apply a small amount thinly, as applying too much can look unnatural.
Yellow for blue tones
For bluish blemishes and dark circles around the eyes, a yellow-based concealer is ideal. Yellow neutralizes the blueness and gives the skin a healthy appearance. If you are particularly concerned about dark circles around the eyes, lightly tapping a yellow-based concealer onto the skin will give a brighter, more natural look.
Trivia : Yellows are versatile colors that don't stand out against your skin and naturally even out uneven skin tone. They also help brighten your overall skin tone.
How to choose based on your personal color and skin tone
When trying to cover skin-colored blemishes, it is important to choose a color that matches your personal color and skin tone. Finding a color that matches your skin will give you a more natural finish.
Colors that suit yellow-based skin
Orange and yellow concealers go well with yellow-based skin. These colors blend with the yellowness of the skin and allow for natural coverage. In addition, green colors that suppress redness also go well with them. If you want to even out the overall skin tone, it is effective to use a combination of these colors.
Colours that suit blue skin tones
For blue-based skin, pink and lavender control colors are suitable. These colors give the skin a healthy glow and bring out its translucency. In particular, when your complexion looks pale, using pink colors can give you a healthy impression.
Tip : If you have blue undertones, apply a thin, even layer to bring out the brightness in your skin.
How to adjust brightness and darkness
When using concealer or control color, it is important to adjust the brightness and intensity. If you use a color that is too bright, it will look white and washed out, and if you use a color that is too dark, it will look unnatural. Choose a color that is close to your skin tone and layer it in small amounts to achieve a natural finish.
Tip : When adjusting the brightness, mix the colour on the back of your hand before applying to your skin for a better blend.
How to apply for a natural finish
How you apply makeup is very important to naturally cover skin-colored blemishes. With the right technique, you can achieve a translucent finish without looking too thick. Here, we'll explain in detail how to apply makeup to different areas of the body and tips to avoid applying makeup too thickly.
How to apply different parts
How to cover blemishes on cheeks
Age spots on the cheeks are one of the most noticeable areas of the face. First, take a small amount of concealer and lightly apply it to the center of the age spots. Then, tap it lightly with your fingertips or a sponge to spread it evenly. When applying foundation over your face, apply it thinly and evenly to achieve a natural finish.
Tip : Funny Elves Longwear Air Cushion Foundation provides even coverage across the cheeks while minimizing the appearance of blemishes.
How to cover eyes and dark circles
Dark circles under the eyes can affect the overall impression of your face. Use a yellow-based concealer and apply a thin layer to the dark circles. Gently tap the concealer from the inner corner of your eye to the outer corner to create a natural glow. Then, finish by applying a thin layer of foundation.
Tip : When hiding dark circles, be careful not to apply too much pressure as the skin around the eyes is thin.
How to hide redness around your nose
A green-based control color is effective for redness around the nose. Apply a small amount to the area where you are concerned about redness and gently blend with your fingertips. Apply a thin layer of concealer on top to thoroughly cover the redness. Finally, apply a light layer of foundation to even out the overall tone.
Tip : The area around the nose is prone to oil production, so using a sebum-absorbing powder can help prevent your makeup from coming off.
Techniques to avoid applying too much paint
How to layer small amounts
If you apply too much at once, it will look thick and heavy. By applying small amounts at a time, you can maintain a natural finish. First, take a small amount of concealer or foundation and apply it only to the areas that need it. Then, apply thin layers to adjust the coverage.
Tip : A small amount of Longwear Air Cushion Foundation provides great coverage, so it's easy to layer.
How to use a sponge or brush
Using a sponge or brush will ensure an even, streaky finish. Using a sponge in a tapping motion will help the product adhere better to the skin. A brush, on the other hand, is best for spreading the product thinly over a wide area. Using different brushes for different areas will give you a more natural finish.
Tip : It's important to keep your sponges and brushes clean. Wash them regularly to prevent skin irritation.
Tips for blurring the boundaries
If the makeup borders are noticeable, it will look unnatural. After applying concealer or foundation, gently tap the borders with your fingertips or a sponge to blend them. In particular, if you carefully blend the borders around your face and eyes, the whole look will look natural.
Tip : When blending, use light pressure with a sponge to remove excess foundation.
Tips for making the finish last longer
To keep your makeup looking beautiful all day, it's essential to put some thought into the finishing touches. Here, we'll introduce you to some techniques to prevent your makeup from coming off and keep your skin-colored blemishes naturally covered for a long time.
How to prevent your makeup from coming off
Using Fix Spray
Fix spray is a convenient item for fixing your makeup and preventing it from coming off. Just spray it lightly all over your face at the end of your makeup application and your makeup will last much longer. It is especially effective in seasons when humidity and sweat are a concern.
Tip : Hold the spray about 20cm away from your face to ensure even distribution. Close your eyes and spray lightly over your entire face.
How to use sebum absorbing powder
Sebum-absorbing powder is an essential item for reducing shine and preventing makeup from coming off. It is especially effective when used on areas prone to oiliness, such as the T-zone and around the nose. Simply apply lightly with a puff or brush for a smooth, lasting finish.
Tip : Too much powder can make your skin look dry, so use a small amount in a thin layer.
The importance of moisturizing and foundation
Why moisturizing your skin improves
Moisturizing is an important step that affects the finish of your makeup. If your skin is dry, your foundation and concealer will be more likely to apply unevenly. By moisturizing your skincare routine thoroughly, you can smooth the surface of your skin and make it easier for your makeup to apply evenly.
Recommendation : Using creams and serums rich in moisturizing ingredients will keep your skin hydrated. If you are particularly concerned about dryness, be sure to incorporate highly moisturizing products into your morning skincare routine.
How to improve the adhesion of your makeup with a primer
Primers are key to making your makeup last longer. They even out uneven skin tone and pores, and improve the adhesion of your foundation. For example, cream-type makeup primers naturally cover dullness and pores while helping to even out your skin tone. In addition, they contain a stretching gel, which helps create a natural, bare-skin look.
Tip : When using a foundation, it is important to apply it thinly and evenly over the entire face. It is especially effective to apply it by tapping lightly with your fingertips on areas with noticeable pores.
