Hi, my name is Shari Smith, and I'm a makeup artist. Today, I'm going to talk about beauty tips for applying makeup to cover acne on cappuccino skin. So, you just need a couple of things for that, your concealer and foundation and then also concealer brush. So first, you're going to want to take the concealer and just do it over the area where you have your acne. Now depending on what type of acne you have, if it's got a little more red in it, then you're going to want a concealer that's got just a little hint of yellow in there. So, you want to just take a look at it, and if it's not red, then you can use something that's basically just your skin tone. You'll dab it with the small concealer brush and then you'll want to feather the edges with your fingers. Then you can go over it a little bit more with your foundation, again, feathering it with the fingers and setting it with a little bit of powder. And that's beauty tips for applying makeup to cover acne on cappuccino skin.
