"  1. First Base &amp;quot;Start with foundation, and you can use less concealer on discolored areas, like around your nose or under ours eyes,&amp;quot; says makeup artist Andrew Sotomayor. For a smooth, seamless finish, end with a dusting of loose powder all over in a shade that&amp;#039;s slightly lighter than your skin; poweder turns darker when it reacts to the moisture in other makeup. 2. KO Dark Circles To counteract undereye shadows and puffiness, opt for a matte concealer, advises makeup artist Emily Kate Warren. &amp;quot;Concealers that have a sheen or are luminescent will draw attention to the puffy areas.&amp;quot; she says. A shade with peachy undertones will help counteract bluish purple shadows. Try Sonia Kushak All Covered Up Concealer ($10, Target).  Related: 5 Ways to Fight Fine Lines 3. Make Light of Spots &amp;quot;Light-reflecting makeup not only covers age spots, but also gives skin a healthy glow, detracting from darkness,&amp;quot; says Christina Zilber of Joeur Cosmetics. Dab a light-reflecting concealer on spots; try L&amp;#039;Or\u00E9al Paris Magic Lumi Concealer ($13, drugstores). For more diffuse pigmentation, use a brightening foundation, like Sephora Collection Instant Radiance Foundation ($22, Sephora). 4. Get The Red Out Start with a green-based primer, then apply liquid foundation (in a shade that matches your skin tone) over any flushed areas. Try Zilber&amp;#039;s trick for flawless coverage: Dampen a makeup sponge, dip it into the foundation, then stippple on. Wetting the spong helps makeup on on smoothly and look natural, not masklike.

Banish Blemishes Fight the urge to pile on makeup: Overdoing concealer actually draws attention to pesky pumples. &amp;quot;Dab a tiny amount onto the blemish with a fine-tipped lip brush,&amp;quot; says Zilber. For more coverage, mix the concealer with a drop of foundation before applying, suggests Warren. Try one with blemish-fighting salicycli acid, like Murad Acne Treatment Concealer ($21, Sephora).
