Hi, my name is Yessica Andrea, and I'm a professional makeup artist and today I'm going to show you how to cover scars for caramel skin. The first thing you want to do is like always, make sure you start off with a clean face, get a nice moist towelette and this could be any kind of acne scars, even any regular scars that you might have on your face but I'm going to remove my makeup so that you can see my actual skin. I do have some leftover acne scars from some breakouts so these would be really good tips on how to cover all those little blemishes and imperfections on your skin. The first thing you want to do is you want to apply some light foundation over the areas that you need the most coverage. I'm using my fingers because I'm doing it on myself so then you just kind of want to pat around your scars or your blemishes and always blend outwards, like so. I have a few more down here so I'm going to work in this area as well and even though you might look like a ghost it's okay, because you're going to be covering that with a foundation or a powder base that's really close to your skin. The next thing you want to do is you want to get a foundation that's really close to your skin. I'm going to pick this middle color right here and you're going to apply that in the areas that you need. The next thing you want to do is you want to go ahead and apply that foundation right over your scars. Make sure you get in there real good. You can feel free to use your fingers and get in there. Just kind of apply it like a cream over your entire face or in the areas where you need it for your scars and you blend that out really good, get a nice powder brush with your favorite powder and go ahead and cover your scars. And that is how you cover scars for caramel skin. I'm Yessica Andrea, and thank you for watching.
