How to disguise the signs of menstruation

In addition to cramps and premenstrual stress, as if that were not enough, we still have to live every month with the changes that hormones cause in our body during menstrual period. Enemies of our beauty during menstruation are blemishes such as dark circles, sore pimples, pale face, and the dreaded swelling.

However, if you suffer from one or more of these discomforts, be aware that there are some ways to disguise them or at least mitigate the effects they have on appearance. After all, we know that during these days, when the hormones are agitated, a woman's self-esteem fluctuates and she can get very high or very low, varying greatly over short periods of time.


Check out the tips we've selected so you can keep feeling beautiful even during your period, taking some extra care.

Disguise the pimples

During menstruation there is a wide variation in hormones, which eventually causes pimples to appear even in women who are no longer in their teens and who usually do not have acne.

First, during these days, redouble the cleanliness of your skin. Use deep cleansing lotions and do not sleep on makeup. To disguise pimples with make-up, it is important to wear full-face makeup, otherwise you risk drawing even more attention to the pimple by simply putting on the region where it is.


Use a facial primer to soften the appearance of the pores, leaving them closer. Then apply foundation to the face with the help of a brush, foam or your own fingers. The important thing is to use a foundation that is your skin tone and apply it evenly all over your face. After that, apply a corrective concealer and finish with a powder to reduce the oiliness of the skin.

Hide dark circles and spots

Many women have the most obvious dark circles during menstruation days and some even have dark spots on their body at this time of the month. The spots are harder to hide, but dark circles have a solution.

For disguise dark circles with makeup, the process is basically the same as that of the pimples case. But you need to be a little more careful because the region where you will use the concealer is bigger and you should be very careful when choosing the ideal concealer.


No pale face

Some women complain of a very pale, lifeless face and color during menstruation. So that this does not stop you from feeling beautiful even these days, do not overlook the use of blush.

Blush should be applied to the skin after foundation and before applying face powder. This way it gets more mixed with the powder and makes your face look flushed and healthy. Just be careful not to exaggerate the amount of blush so as not to have a heavy makeup and always choose a tone that matches your skin.

Do not let the swelling appear

Having swollen breasts can be an advantage of menstruation, but having a swollen belly is certainly not. Therefore, when you are menstruating, avoid tight clothing that makes the swelling even more noticeable.

Prefer coats and other blouses that are wider in the belly area to avoid drawing attention in this area. You can even wear a nice neckline and look away in your lap during these days.

Wear your confidence

Most important of all these steps is to feel confident and not to slow down during menstruation. We know that the symptoms and signs of menstruation do not contribute to raising a woman's self-esteem, but try to remember who you are and don't complain about not looking pretty. Put on your self-confidence and always be beautiful, even on days when it seems nothing is contributing.

By following these tips you can disguise the signs of menstruation and no one can even imagine that you are in those terrible days.
