Tips for covering a face scab w/ concealer?

I have this scar from a popped zit and I can't figure out how to cover it! All the concealer I put on it, gets stuck in the "crevasses" of the scab and forms AROUND the scab, not on it! Any tips? Thanks!(:

Don't put anything on it..the More you try to cover it the more visible it is.

You can really only neutralize the color, not the texture :/
but maybe try using a thicker, heavy duty concealer - something creamy, not a liquid, and some green tone balancing creme or liquid. If that doesn't work then I wouldn't waste any more product trying to cover it until its mostly gone.

This has happened to me. The more concealer you put on the more noticeable it can get. =\

I'd focus on healing it rather than concealing it! Wash your face with a gentle cleanser, no exfoliating around the irritated area. Don't apply any acne or spot treatment creams, I'd try a bit of neosporin!

I would dry it out as much as possible. Once it's dry peel it off. It WILL scar. But, it's easier to conceal a scar that it is a scab. This is a very dramatic approach though, do it only for emergencies.

Use a dry, clean mascara want to flake off the dry skin. Then use a moisturizer, apply concealer, and finish off your look with whatever else you use!
