I have a massive pimple that's starring to form right in between my eyebrows. Every time I try to cover it up it seems like the makeup won't actually stay on the pimple but it'll melt off and surround it. How do I cover this thing up?

What I do, as weird as it sounds, is take a brown eyeliner, and make that zit look like a birthmark. I do that until the zit is gone. No one says anything, because no one even notices. It sounds so weird but honestly it's so much better than a huge zit.

Haha that's so weird but I have a dance recital today and we always do dance pictures before the actually performance and it's right in between my eyebrows so that'd look really strange.

I use a green concealer to reduce the appearance of redness, then I apply my foundation and then just a tiny dab of concealer. I find that the more concealer you use, the more noticeable the pimple is.

You could always just pile on the concealer if you're not into the birthmark thing. But don't do that daily, just for today since you have pictures. Make sure right when you're home you wash all that stuff off very thoroughly and treat it with a product made for acne. Do not pop it, as tempting as it may be, just let the product do its magic and all will be good.

Make sure you're "patting" in whichever product you're using to cover it up, rather than rubbing it in.

Put powder on first, then a thick Concealer like glamoflauge then set again with powder. pimples are usually quite smooth so the products tend to slide off. a little powder will give it something to stick to. you can also use an eyeshadow primer on first to make sure the powder sticks. and make sure you pat anything on like alli said.

Put concealer on before foundation, then after.

Well first of all apply some primer don't want to make the pimple worse then after use a green concealer to hide the redness Ans then add some foundation on the pimple remember when doing a cover up dab don't rub hope I could help :D
