Brilio.net - Acne scars are often 'shadows' left on the face even though the acne itself has long since healed. These brownish to reddish spots can last for months, even years, and often make the skin look uneven. It is no wonder that many people feel frustrated, because even though their faces are free of acne, the scars still remain and interfere with self-confidence.
What makes it even more difficult is that acne scars are not always easy to cover with makeup. Instead of being hidden, some types of acne scars actually make the foundation look patchy or highlight uneven skin texture. Even thick concealers sometimes fail to cover them up perfectly, especially if they are not applied with the right technique.
But basically, the right application of complexion can actually cover acne scars, you know. This has been proven by Instagram user @glambyrattu. Through one of the videos uploaded, the makeup artist (MUA) once shared the transformation of a teenage girl who was made up with soft glam.
Before makeup, her bare face shows her real skin condition. Some parts of her face have acne scars that are starting to turn black. There are also some reddish acne scars on her forehead.

As reported by briliobeauty.net from Instagram @glambyrattu on Friday (30/5), the makeup artist applied the soft glam technique very carefully so as not to make the face heavier. Base makeup begins with a complexion that can even out skin tone completely without making it look too thick. Choosing a foundation with a dewy and natural finish creates a "second skin" effect, which is a smooth skin appearance that doesn't look like wearing heavy makeup. The blending process is done carefully to cover acne scars without eliminating the natural impression.

The result is a smooth and radiant look. Acne scars are well covered without looking cakey. Eye makeup is soft but still frames the face elegantly, while eyebrows are precisely shaped without looking too sharp. Blush and lipstick in peachy pink shades give a sweet and fresh impression, in line with her teenage age. Thin contouring techniques add dimension to the face without being overly dramatic.

The loose hair style with a little wave and a simple black dress strengthen the classy yet youthful prom look. This makeup successfully boosts her confidence, while proving that even acne-prone skin can look glowing and stunning with the right makeup approach. This transformation is not just about covering up flaws, but highlighting the natural beauty that has been hidden.
