URGENT - Date tonight & so broken out!

I have a date tonight with a man I am very excited to get to know. It's quite a big deal for me - my first serious date with a real man.

I am supposed to be meeting him in about 2 hours, but I am terribly broken out! I want the date to go well and I don't want to act weird and self-conscious about my skin.

Does anyone have any suggestions for me on how to reduce redness/cover up the spots? I know makeup will do that, obviously, but I need some real help!

as hard as it will be...don't stress about it...pick at it...or point it out to him! 

just use the proper amount of concealer and powder and just go have fun

don't try to over make up...caked on make up looks so much worse then a few blemishes showing!!!!!!

if they are white heads...wash with hot water and a washcloth first to break them...then use cover up to help with the redness.

it happens to everyone..even HIM...so rest and have fun!

I actually use Visine Allergy I(I'm sure any allergy eye drop would work) to take the red out before using concealer. Always works well for me. Because it's for allergies, not only does it help with the redness it will help prevent that "itchy" feeling a breakout can get.

Thanks for the suggestions!

If anyone else has anything to offer, please let me know!

You could also place a cool cloth on your face to calm down any irritation or redness and swelling. That works well for me.

Think about it this way... you're going on the date right? That means that there is a part of him that finds you attractive and that wants to get to know you. He finds you attractive. Keep thinking that in your mind over and over. Be confident that one, two or five pimples aren't going to make him change his mind about how amazing a person you are and how pretty you look when you believe in yourself.

While I don't have any advice on how to help with the breakout I can guarantee you that he won't notice it as much, or care about it as much, if you don't make it an issue. Be confident, be yourself. The break out only becomes an issue if you let it, and you can control that. Hope this isn't too late!

mla931,

So excited for you! I hope you weren't too broken out. So how did your date go? Do you like him a lot? What do you mean by a real man?
