Well, I could give you a few tips to relieve the breakout, but first ....
To cover them up, you'll need some super concealer. Benefit makes the BEST concealer that does not clog your pores, and therefore does not create more pimples. It's their "Industrial-Strength" concealer ... it is $18, but it has lasted me about 5 months. And I use a lot of it!
Be sure to set the concealer with a light powder. I actually broke out last weekend, and I covered mine with the Benefit concealer and my mineral powder .... my sister couldn't even tell that I had broken out real bad.
If you want a little-known secret to getting rid of your breakout fast, try an egg white mask on your face. Smear the egg white all over your face, let it sit for 10-15 minutes (until it's dry). Then rinse with warm water. This has always helped me with my bad breakouts.

Have you called the police yet? They usually are the ones to cover break outs. We had break outs all the time in my home town. It had 6 prisons in it. hahaha.
Acne can be aggrivated by makeup as well as rich foods. Acne is usually caused by two things. One is a heriditary condition that is passed down just like any other condition. The other is an excessive buildup of skin oils in the pores which starts at puberty. The one things you do not want to do is cover them up with something that will clog the pores so be careful of that. There are many acne treatments out there on the market. Some are in stores and some by mail. The best advise will come from a dermotologist but until you can get an appointment with one, go to your local pharmacist and ask them for the best thing on the market that they recommend. They are the guys that are trained in that field so they know what is most suggested by doctors and also what works by different pharmasutical companies. The most natural way to clear up acne is sunlight because it dries up the oils. But do not get burned. You only need an hour a day with your face in the sun for that treatment. Also, if you go swimming in a pool, that seems to clear it up also. The clorine has the same drying effect on the skin.

It looks terrible to cover pimples with lots of make-up. Avoid powder and use a yellow tone foundation. Let me help you- go to a health store or some drug stores and get tea tree oil. put a dot on each pimple. It's natural, it stinks like medicine but brings the dirt and oil to the surface and dries out the pimple within a day or two. Don't apply it too often- it dries out the pimple so only put it on the pimple and moisturize later

Gently exfoliate the areas, preferably after a shower, when the skin is wet, to get rid of all the flaking skin and build up. Then, when the skin is dry, use a light, liquid concealer. Also, greens cancel out reds, so if your zits are reddened, try to find a light green correcting concealer pen to dab on before your flesh-toned concealer.

What I call "spackle".No,joking there,you never want to "cover up" a breakout,or put any make up on a breakout.Make sure you have a steady skin cleaning regimen.There are plenty of acne,exfoliating skin care products, out on the market.Neutrogena and Aveeno are very good brand names to use,both have quite a variety of skin care products.

DON'T exfoliate it!
unconventional method =
take about 12 aspirin, hold your fist under hot running water till they dissolve, then gently smear the grainy paste all over ur face like a masque. Mix it in with your normal cleanser to make it thicker. Leave it on for 10 mins or so, then rinse off.
Your pores will shrink; your face will look & feel like a baby's ***.
Oh, and get a concealer that matches your skin tone [usually they come lighter, especially the ones meant for undereye circles] .. if it's too light, it'll highlight your zits.
option C:
Hide under a hood till it goes away. :/

What you do is have someone start a fire in one of the cells. When the guards call fire dept, knock one of the firemen out and take his gear. When the fire is almost out start heading out and if your stopped tell whoever stops you that your need to get some fans to get rid of this damn smoke. Thats how i did it.
