Cover up with NYX (plus a giveaway!)

Got some blemishes you'd like to keep under wraps? NYX (hooray for LA-based cosmetic companies!) has just the tools:

Their concealer stick works like magic, covering up even the tiniest of flaws. Just dab a little on your blemishes, dark circles, scars, what-have-yous and you're done. They're available in 12 shades including lavender, yellow, and green.

Yes, that's right: lavender, yellow, and green are great concealer colors because they're neutralizing shades. Got a red acne blemish? Using green will lighten the shade more effectively than a beige color. Meanwhile, lavender and yellow works wonders on under eye circles.

NYX also has you covered with their Twin Cake Powder. It's a powder, concealer, and foundation all in one and will cover your imperfections like crazy. It controls shine all day with a lightweight, velvety finish that also reduces the appearance of pores without clogging your skin. I'm also a huge fan of the compact's design which separates the sponge from the powder to keep it dry.

And in honor of March Makeup Madness, we're giving away a great concealer combo from Nyx. We have a concealer stick in medium (CS05) and a Twin Cake Powder in natural (CP07) that we're giving away.

All you have to do is send an email with your name and mailing address with NYX in the subject line to comments@lapretty.com. We'll pick a name at random at 12 PM on March 10 and announce the winner. (US residents only, please.) Good luck!

NYX is available online and at Ulta (7100 Santa Monica Blvd #210, Los Angeles).
