Hide Your Skin Flaws Instantly

Ever wonder how models do it? They have seemingly perfect skin, but it sometimes takes more than great genes to look gorgeous. Makeup pros spilled their bag of secrets so you can nab the best products for beautiful skin right at home.


FIVE-MINUTE FACIAL

Want radiant skin without the downtime (or redness) of a facial? "At-home treatments create healthier skin by morning when done at night," says CoverGirl makeup artist Molly Stern. "It's a quick surface clean." Clinique Turnaround Instant Facial ($36.50) uses both physical and chemical exfoliants for an added boost.


QUICK COVER-UP

Hide an embarrassing pimple with Sephora's Face Concealing Blemish Pen ($14) This makeup must-have covers spots and also uses salicylic acid to absorb excess oil. "This type of product is great if your acne is healing well but you still need coverage," notes Stern.


WHITEN UP

White teeth actually make your skin and face look younger. Use an instant whitening treatment like SexySmile in Boardroom Berry ($36), which includes both a stain remover and a gorgeous gloss. "Or use a lip color that balances out yellow in your teeth like CoverGirl Wetslicks AmazeMint in Un-Wined [$6.25]," says Stern.
