How to Cover Acne Without Clogging Pores

Covering acne effectively requires minimal product applied precisely. Heavy layers trap oil and heat, which can worsen congestion and cause makeup to lift around blemishes.

Applying foundation sparingly across the face and using targeted concealer only where needed keeps pores clearer and texture softer. Pressing product into the skin avoids dragging and buildup.

Allowing each layer to set before adding more prevents product from migrating into pores and breaking down during wear.
