Pot concealer ✨
Add pot concealer on the scar and let it sit for a few minutes. I personally leave it for around 20 minutes so I will get a better coverage. The longer you leave it, the better the coverage!
These are great alternatives you can buy from Sephora too!
Heavy-Duty Concealer - Sephora
This is the one that I use, especially for when doing a glam makeup. It is a bit expensive however, it has great coverage and thick but light consistency on the skin.
Soft Matte Complete Concealer | NARS Cosmetics
I feel like this is kinda a dupe for the Nars pot concealer and it is very similar to it. The thick consistency and formula are very similar and this is way cheaper!
Collection Cosmetics Lasting Perfection Concealer
Elf has great concealers. It does not have as much coverage as the Nars but for the price, it has great coverage and consistency!

Foundation ✨
After the concealer is set, prep your face, add primer and then foundation. You do not need to blend the concealer as it will blend together with the foundation. You can use both a brush and a beauty blender to blend everything together.
I have been using this foundation for the past few months and it blends beautifully. It is a bit pricey but very worth it! 💕
Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation | NARS Cosmetics
Very beautiful product and the formula is amazing. I tested this foundation with different primers and concealers and it blends flawlessly with them all 😍
Full Coverage 2 In 1 Foundation & Concealer - KIKO MILANO – Malta
This is a great drugstore foundation. The formula is very good, easy to blend, creamy and not oily! 💕
Full Range Face Foundation Makeup - NYX Cosmetics
These are also great suggestions other than the ones I have mentioned. There is a mix of drugstore and high end in this!

This part is optional as it depends if the products used before a full coverage. According to the color of the blemish or scar, you would need to use different color correctors.

Powder ✨
After the above step, I recommend adding a blurring or a matte powder on the spot or scar so it will blur and set all the products into place.
This is a great powder to us. It is a bit expensive bit it will last you for a long time 💕
Translucent Loose Talc-Free Setting Powder Ultra-Blur - Laura Mercier
Maybelline has great powders. This one in particular is a favorite as it blurs and smooth the face evenly. It is also not expensive which will help you keep your budget 💕

This is also a bit of an expensive brand however, it is a great powder. If it is within ones budget, I would recommend this for sure 💕

This is one of the best products in the market. It is a bit expensive however the makeup does not move, literally! The best way to describe this spray is like in the old days we used to use hairspray 😅 but this is actually for the face 💕
On 'Til Dawn Setting Spray | ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr
This is like a dupe for the one size setting spray. I personally never used it however, a friend of mine does and it works really good 💕

This is also a great spray where it makes the makeup look matte but glowy at the same time 💕

I would recommend this product for an everyday use. I prefer the black spray rather than the others though. It has a strong hold, a matte finish and has around 16hrs hold. Tried and tested 😜

This is a setting spray however, it has a great hold and locks everything in.
