Gentle Cleanser
First and foremost, you want to make sure that you are using a gentle cleanser on your face. For me, I use Neutrogena Naturals Purifying Facial Cleanser. This works not only to fight off any acne that seems to break out or any forming acne that I have. Trust me ladies, this is definitely an important step on the top ways to cover blemishes.

Pat Dry
After you've cleansed, the next way to cover blemishes is to actually pat your face dry. The reasoning behind this is because if you rub your face dry, it can actually cause a lot more redness and can actually lead to more breakouts. So girls, before you dry off, remember to pat everything down on your face and to be gentle!

Thin Coat of Moisturizer
After your face is all dry, the next way to cover blemishes is to add on a thin coat of moisturizer. You want to do just a thin coat, that way you can make sure that you don't get too oily. You can add a bit more to the areas where you have dry skin though. Keep that in mind!

Clean Damp Makeup Sponge
Once you get your moisturizer on, the next step is to actually dampen up a makeup sponge. This will actually help spread your makeup around a bit, but also ensure that the shade of your foundation lightens up. You don't need the sponge to be wet though, just damp.

If you would take, you must first give, this is the beginning of intelligence.
Dab Foundation on
After you find a shade that is going to work for you, the next thing you want to do, is make sure that you are taking your damp makeup sponge and you are dabbing your foundation on. You want to dab it onto any blemishes that you might have. This is a great way to cover blemishes on your light, light skin!

Buff Skin with a Cotton Facial Pad
After you dab, the next part is really important – you want to take a strong cotton pad and actually buff the section that you dabbed, that way you can actually blend it all in. The cotton pad should be sturdy cotton, otherwise it could fall apart or leave cotton pieces on your face.
