Step 2 - Apply makeup concealer that matches the color of your skin tone over the layer of neutralizing concealer. (You can step this step if you choose and go straight to foundation application, but it is recommended to apply a neutral color concealer) Gently pat on a thin layer with makeup concealer brush. Feather out concealer slightly beyond the edges of the condition. Let set.
Step 3 - Follow with a foundation matched to your skin tone. Pat on foundation with a sponge or fingertips in a downward motion so you don't make the hairs on your face stand up. Be careful not to rub in the concealer. Let set. And apply powder.
Step 1 - Use a concealer brush to apply concealer. These brushes are made with tiny bristles and will cover them imperfection so it is virtually invisible. Let set. You can read more about makeup brushes here.

More Makeup Tips and tricks
Dark, Under-eye circles- A good concealer for dark circles under the eyes should have a yellow base. Yellow combats blue tones, which includes shadows and fine blood vessels near the surface of the skin. Smashbox Photo Finish Color Correcting Foundation Primer, Blend (Apricot)
Tattoos- Considering it is a blue tattoo, use a yellow concealer. Dab on the concealer, let set.You also will need to apply a good water-proof, heavy duty concealer that matches your skin tone perfectly. Try any dermablend concealer. They are heavy enough where as not to "budge". Apply a powder to help the make-up set and last longer.
Sallow, Yellow Complexions- You need to use what is called a primer (basically a concealer, but tends to be creamier in texture. Smashbox Photo Finish Color Correcting Foundation Primer, Balance (Lavender) is a revolutionary formula that helps fill in fine lines and even out discoloration for a seamless finish.
There's two ways to apply this:
One- Use your fingertips to warm the primer, this way it will apply easier. Apply to entire face, let set. Next, apply a foundation by gently patting the foundation so you won't disturb the concealer. (this is a little too time consuming for me. Try step two for a quicker application.)
Two- Using the back of your hand as a make-up palette, scoop a little of the primer out of the compact and place it on the back of your hand. Use your fingertip to "warm" the concealer which will make it more pliable. Next, add some of your foundation to the primer by mixing it with your fingertips. Then apply as you would in a typical foundation application.
Dark Spots (aging spots and what not)- Use a yellow concealer.
Bruises- Yellow, brownish bruises can be covered by using a lavender concealer. Bluish-red bruises can be covered with a green concealer.
Acne, red blotchiness, rosacea- You want to use a green conceale such as Smashbox Photo Finish Color Correcting Foundation Primer, Adjust (Green) . If the blemish is raised or has a flaky scale over it, you must be careful to blend well enough so the green can't be seen. Also, only layering on make-up can sometimes make the blemish stand out more. Use your best judgment.
