I'm breaking out on my right cheek and forehead, schools on Tuesday and I want to have clearer skin before then. Any product recommendations or skin care routines I should? Also when in doubt what's the best way to cover up a pimple?

Steam your face so your pours will open and put tree tea oil or acne cream or put ice in a cloth and leave it for a while

Use tea tree oil, which hazel gel and sudocream at night! Steam your face and you could try gentle exfoliation if you want! If they havent gone by then hold an ice cube on them for a couple if seconds and this should reduce redness

Put honey on problem areas, cover with a bandaid and then sleep. It takes about 2-3 nights to see difference, though

To cover up I use bb cream then powder but if it's really bad I'd use concealer over bb cream and then powder over that

Piling on a bunch of things you've never used before is a recipe for disaster.
Use a gentle face wash and exfoliate gently with a washcloth. Use a light moisturizer. If you want, try a spot treatment such as salicylic acid or DILUTED tea tree oil, but only on pimples. Wash your pillow and pillowcase in warm or hot water with colorsafe bleach. Disinfect the surface of your phone. Sanitize your makeup and your brushes.
Witch hazel is extremely harsh and has a high alcohol content; I wouldn't use it if you don't know how your skin will react.
Natural honey is antibacterial and acts like a humectant, but it can cause allergic reactions in people with pollen or royal jelly allergies. Always patch test on the inside of your elbow or behind your ear for over two hours (at least) before using it on the face.
Many of these DIY fixes cause photosensitivity, so be sure to wear sunscreen under your makeup (makeup does NOT have enough SPF) and limit your sun exposure.
