I wouldn't suggest covering up a Cold Sore with makeup, that can just irritate it and make it worse, and last longer. perhaps even scar. Unless, of course, you have special make up that has certain minerals and vitamins that is good for your skin and was recommended by your dermatologist.
I would suggest Blistex medicated lip ointment, it will get rid of a nasty cold sore in as little as half a day and as long as three days, if applied religiously. trust me on this, I had had to use it many times when I had braces.
