How to Deal With a Breakout
on Your Chest
on Your Chest
For individual pimples, dab on a concentrated concealer with a fine-pointed makeup brush. Body makeup can look thick on the chest and back, so choose a face formula instead. Makeup artist Surratt loves Kevyn Aucoin Sensual Skin Enhancer—it comes in 16 shades, and a little goes a long way. Use a translucent powder to set the concealer.
For more diffuse breakouts, apply a powder foundation (like Stila Illuminating Powder Foundation, or Revlon ColorStay Aqua Mineral Makeup) all over the offending area with a large fluffy brush.
