Makeup is an excellent concealer
After Botox injections you can use makeup immediately. It is important not to put excessive pressure on the skin or massage the area. The surgeon precisely places the Botox for maximum effect.

Other than that, there is little risk except do no massage the area as you apply your products.

Don't Have To Wait Long After Botox to Apply Cream and Makeup
You should be able to use a moisturizing cream tonight and apply makeup tomorrow. These topical products will not effect how Botox works. You really only have to wait until the injection sites close before applying anything, and they clot quickly.
