I know I'm not supposed to, but I picked at a blemish and now I have an unsightly scab on my face. Anyone have any great tips for covering it? I have trouble getting makeup to rest on the scab and stay put!

I wouldn't cover it it I were you, putting any makeup on it will make it look really gross.

Nothing can cover up texture on the skin but a full coverage cream concealer can rest on top of it to cover it - try dermablend or MUFE or kat Von D.

Abreva makes little patches that are designed to go over cold sores that allow the wound to breathe but also allow you to wear makeup. It's ~$10 for a pack of them.
