Allow the area to dry for at least one minute before following up with an antibacterial cream. If your scab is super sore - Soak a cotton ball with rubbing alcohol and rub the cotton ball on the scab.If your scab is extra flaky - Use a calming moisturizer instead of a primer on your face before you apply your makeup.There are some other ways that you can reduce your scab's appearance using makeup.

Apply the cleansing water to your cotton pad and place it on the scab area carefully. To remove your makeup, use a gentle makeup remover with a cotton pad, like the Garnier SkinActive Micellar All-in-1 Cleansing Water.Continue with the rest of your makeup as you usually would and avoid touching the scab area for the entire time that you're wearing your makeup.When you reach your scab area, dab it on delicately with your brush. Set in your face makeup with a translucent powder, like the Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder, using a fluffy powder brush.Dab on another layer of your concealer using your finger.Avoid a powder foundation as this will make the scab look drier and more noticeable.

Rather, let it sit on top of the skin's surface. Use your finger to dab on a liquid concealer with good coverage, like the NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer, but avoid rubbing it in too much.Apply a face primer that will moisturize and hydrate your scab, such as the E.L.F Hydrating Face Primer.Before you begin, make sure you've washed, cleansed, and dried your face.
