How to cover fever blisters with makeup?

In my personal experience, whenever I tried to cover a raw fever blister with heavy foundation, it got irritated and took double the time to heal. Now, I just let it breathe during the day and apply a soothing ointment prescribed by my doctor. I only use a very light dab of mineral powder if I absolutely have to go out.

If you are going to cover a fever blister with makeup, never use your fingers or apply lipstick directly from the tube. Use disposable applicators to apply a color corrector first, then dab on a high-coverage concealer. Keep the layer thin, because caking it up will actually draw more attention to the texture.

Getting frequent fever blisters can sometimes indicate that your immune system is weak, which I experienced due to my thyroid imbalances. While you can cover it with a sterile patch and concealer for a day, make sure you get your routine health checks done. It's always best to consult a doctor if these blisters keep coming back.

Haan na, these blisters always appear right when we have some important function to attend! I usually put a tiny transparent cold sore patch first, and then apply my normal foundation on top of it. That way the makeup doesn't directly touch the wound, which is much safer, ho na.
