California girl Cassandra Bankson woke up famous the next morning after she posted a video on Youtube in which she showed how she manages to hide severe acne with makeup. The video instantly became super popular, the number of its views quickly exceeded 10 million, and the girl herself from a pimply little sufferer, who was bullied by her classmates, turned into a noticeable and popular personality on the Web.

And this was the beginning of her dizzying career: several modeling agencies drew attention to a pretty girl who found the strength to instill confidence in other people with the same problems as hers.

As a result, Cassandra made her dream come true: she became a real model, many well-known modeling agencies signed contracts with her.

The condition of the skin has improved significantly, although it has not completely healed.

Since then, Cassandra has undergone treatment with a good dermatologist, and, according to her, her skin condition has improved significantly, although she has not completely healed. She continues to seek treatment.

The girl took part in fashion shows in New York, presenting the Boy Meets Girl's Spring 2013 collection. According to her, everything that happened to her is like a dream: she did not count on such a positive reaction, the approving responses of visitors to her blog on Youtube instilled in her optimism and confidence. She continues to share her beauty secrets with subscribers: “Even if it's just makeup,” says Cassandra, “but visually it allows you to achieve the effect of healthy skin, so acne is not an obstacle for those who dream of having a model appearance and achieve results on the catwalk, even if for this you have to "conjure" for a long time over the face in front of the mirror, but it's worth it!"

How to disguise acne (short speech transcript from video)

Cassandra demonstrates nodular-cystic acne lesions (a serious skin disease) on the forehead, cheeks, chin, neck, and ears. She says there is even acne on the back and décolleté. She wants to show how difficult her situation is.

She says there is even acne on the back and décolleté.

The girl says that she has tried many different cosmetics, and she considers the products that she is now planning to apply as the best option. She usually starts her makeup after hiding her hair under a special cellophane cap so that it doesn't get in the way. The skin should be cleansed before makeup.

Cassandra starts her makeup with a very small amount of a primer (makeup base) called Smashbox Antishine. With her fingertips, she applies the product to the area of the nose to make the skin less oily here, to hide the oily sheen.

This product can be applied to the T-zone for people with combination skin. After Cassandra, she uses another primer, Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer, which she applies in sufficient quantity all over the face, including the area under the eyes, chin and neck with wide movements of the palm.

The make-up base smoothes fine lines, prevents moisture loss and allows the foundation to lie smoother.

Cassandra then uses the MUFE HD Foundation in two shades. She applies a lighter shade to the face, eyelids, cheeks, chin.

Part of the foundation also gets on the lips: the excess can be removed afterwards, thanks to them there will be no noticeable border between the skin of the lips and face.

She applies the cream with her fingers, although this can be done with special sponges. Then, along the edge of the forehead, under the cheeks, chin and on the neck, Cassandra applies a foundation of a darker shade. This technique allows you to avoid sharp changes in the tone of the skin of the face and neck, in addition, it does not create a mask effect. Foundation is carefully distributed over the face.

Foundation is carefully distributed over the face.

She then takes a wide brush and applies a small amount of Mac Studio Finish Concealer to her skin, blending thoroughly. Unlike regular powder, concealer contains substances that visually brighten spots, it can dry out pimples and acne, it contains antioxidants and vitamins.

Then, with the same brush, she takes a little powder and evenly distributes it with rotational movements throughout the face, carefully shading it in the eye area (while closing her eyes). After that, brush with a small amount of Smashbox Halo Loose Powder along the contour of the face and neck to give a natural glow to the skin.

At the end of the makeup, Cassandra dabs a very small amount of MUFE HD Microfinish Setting light powder on the tip of the brush, makes several movements on her hand to evenly distribute the powder throughout the brush, and again carefully passes over the face and neck.

The main makeup is finished, after which the girl applies MAC Fix + spray to fix the makeup.
