How to Cover Every Type of Zit, According to a Makeup Artist

There's not much you can do once you have performed minor surgery on yourself. The best thing to do to speed the recovery process is to put Neosporin on the zit at night, because essentially you have a minor skin abrasion/open wound at this point. The antibacterial properties of the Neosporin ($9) will fight infection and soften and heal the skin while you sleep. In the meantime, not much will truly cover this eyesore.

The best thing to do is apply your oil-free foundation and skip concealer. It will only accentuate the scab. Dust mineral powder or foundation powder over the scab lightly with a fluffy brush to add more coverage that won't get cakey.
