Hiding Allergy Symptoms Made Easy

Introduction to Allergy Season

As the trees blossom and flowers bloom, pollen fills the air, marking the arrival of allergy season. While the lush landscape is a welcome change after a long winter, it also brings unwanted allergy symptoms. Red, itchy eyes, nasal congestion, and a runny nose are just a few of the common side effects. However, with the right beauty hacks, you can hide these symptoms and look your best, even when you’re not feeling it.

How to Hide Allergy Symptoms with Makeup

Many people suffer from seasonal allergies, and the symptoms can vary greatly from person to person. Two of the most common side effects are redness and inflammation. Fortunately, there are several ways to conceal these symptoms without much effort.

Hiding Redness

To hide redness, try the following:

• Choose a gold-toned base: Opt for a foundation with yellow or gold pigment to color correct redness in the skin. Consider using BB6 Glow Time Full Coverage Mineral BB Cream or Warm Sienna PurePressed Base Mineral Foundation.
• Try blue eye makeup: Wear blue eye makeup to counteract redness in the whites of your eyes. Use a Midnight Blue Eye Pencil to create a sapphire shade that helps whiten the area.
• Dazzle and distract: Draw attention away from redness around your nose by wearing a shimmery PureGloss Lip Gloss in a vibrant pink shade like Blossom.
• Switch to a gentle cleanser: Replace your cleanser with a gentler option like BeautyPrep Face Cleanser, which features a micellar water formula and soothing Cucumber Extract.
• Use products that soothe: Use Golden Powder-Me SPF Dry Sunscreen to counteract redness with a golden powder and soothe your skin with ingredients like Montmorillonite.

Decreasing Inflammation

To reduce inflammation, try the following:

• Get cold as ice: Reduce swelling by rubbing an ice cube or ice pack under your eyes and on your face as soon as you wake up.
• Drink some “spa water”: Add lemon or cucumber to your water throughout the day to help flush your system and reduce bloating.
• Highlight the right spots: Apply highlighter or concealer lower than the inflamed area, below the orbital bone, to reduce the shadow caused by puffiness.
• Define your brow: Emphasize another area of your face by filling and defining your brow with a Retractable Brow Pencil.
