to hide stuff? im guessing you want a concealer or foundation..
when choosing a concealer, its better to have it be a bit lighter than your skin than a bit darker. but always try to match your skin tone as best you can.
apply the foundation or concealer to the spot you want covered and then press some powder over top. to get rid of those acne spots you need to conceal, wear make-up only when you have to and keep your face clean the rest of the time. use oxy pads or some other facial toner to get rid of dirt, oil and makeup. this will give you better skin and reduce the need for covering it up.
drinking water helps you get clear skin too!!
if you want to hide dark circles under your eyes, choose a shade of foundation/concealer that is a bit lighter than your skin tone.
putting some sheer shimmery eyeshadow or eye pencil on the inner corner of your eyes makes you look more awake. i find this helps reduce undereye darkness.
good luck!

Heyy, Im a barbizon model graduate and i went through 1 year of beauty school. First of all to prevent flaws you should make sure you wash your face two times a day. You also may want try different soaps from different companies. Its a proven fact that if you change your soap or shampoo your skin/hair will react differently giving you good results. Make sure to always use a moisturizer so skin doesnt dry out ( try using oil free) Look for a concealer thats your skin tone and covers up well. I wouldnt recamend cheap stuff. Then use a liquad foundation to cover up the concealer and even out skin tone. You can also follow up with a powder foundation for a good make up base. I wish you the best of luck!

UGH STEPHANIE DON'T YOU HATE WHEN YOU ASK A QUESTION AND NO ONE ANSWERS YOUR F*CKING QUESTION?
NOW IF YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT ACNE FLAWS OR DARK SPOTS THEN ALWAYS(WITH ANY MAKE UP)USE A BRAND THAT'S LIGHT.YOU NEVER WANT TO CLOG YOUR PORES.
DRINK TONS OF WATER,GET STRESS OUT OF YOUR LIFE BECAUSE THAT CAN TOTALLY AGE YOU AND MAKE YOU LOOK HORRID.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HEARD OF THIS PRODUCT BUT IT'S CALLED MERLOT FACE CREAM.YOU CAN GET IT AT GNC OR MERLOTSKINCARE.COM.IT IS THE MOST INCREDIBLE FACE CREAM.IT'S MADE WITH GRAPESEED AND IS OIL FREE SO THAT'S GOOD.IT'S ABOUT 15$ AND IT'LL MAKE YOUR SKIN FLAWLESS.IT SAVED MY SKIN.
EXERCISE & DIET(DOES WONDERS FOR THE APPEARANCE)
NOW IF YOU WANT TO HIDE BODY "FLAWS" THE BEST THING WOULD BE FOR(UNDER YOUR CLOTHING)IS A BODY SCULPTING SORT OF SUIT/GIRDLE.YOU CAN FIND THEM AT ANY PLACE THAT SELLS UNDERGARMENTS.
BUT TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH NONE OF THIS WILL HELP IF YOU HAVE THE PROBLEMS I HAD WHEN I WAS YOUNGER WHICH IS BODY DISMORFIC DISORDER.IT WASN'T MY FAULT THOUGH BECAUSE I WAS TEASED ABOUT MY APPEARANCE RELENTLESSLY.MY SKIN COLOR,WEIGHT,ETC..........
IT WASN'T UNTIL 6YRS AGO(AND ONLY THOUGH A DIVINE MIRACLE FROM GOD)THAT I STOPPED SEEING"FLAWS"
I SUFFERED FROM SEEING "FLAWS" 4 FOURTEEN YEARS!
I'M SORRY I'M GOING ON AND ON LIKE A FREAKING PSYCHIATRIST BUT IF YOUR FREINDS ARE SAYING YOU'RE PRETTY AND YOU DON'T SEE IT THEN IT'S DEFINATELY PSYCHOLOGICAL.
I'M NOT SAYING YOU'RE CRAZY OR ANYTHING BUT MAYBE YOU WENT THROUGH THE SAME I WENT THROUGH WHEN I WAS LITTLE.
IT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO SPEAK TO SOMEONE IF YOU DO (NOT SAYING THAT YOU DO)HAVE PROBLEMS.
BELIEVE ME ALL OF THE MAKE-UP AND CLOTHES ARE NOT GOING TO MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOURSELF INTERNALLY.
THERES NOTHING MORE FREEING THAN LOVING YOURSELF AND IF THIS IS YOUR SITUATION,PRAY ABOUT IT AND TALK 2 SOMEONE.
THAT HELPS ME ALOT.
LOVING YOURSELF WON'T BE AN EASY JOURNEY BUT YOU CAN GET THERE.
LISTEN TO ROMASI ABOVE,SHE HAS SOME GOOD CONCEALER TIPS!!!

Depends on what you need to hide, but a good idea is to play up your assets. What do you LOVE about your face? Bright, shimmerry products make something stand out, while dark and matte products take away attention. (Think about how they say white satin pants would make your butt look fatter.) But the most important thing to remember is that cosmetics are should be used to enhance your natural beauty, not hide it and replace with something else. We're all beautiful and confident women - you go girl!

Like, concealer? Best bet is to buy concealer a shade darker than your natural skin tone and a foundation a shade lighter, that's how I was always taught anyway. Concealer first, and make sure to blend a bit. If you don't blend enough the foundation will cover most of it up anyway. If you need to get rid of the bags under your eyes get something with a yellow tint to counteract the blue.

Stay Honest. That will make you beautiful.
no one is perfect and your flaws as you call them are part of your personality.
don't be ashamed of how you look.
