can i still wear makeup?

before bed last night, i used a new kind of acne face scrub and when i woke up this morning, my face was completely red and broken out. i'm about to go out to lunch with my family and i don't want to be seen in public with my face as bad as it is. is it okay to wear makeup or should i hold off until the reaction goes away? also any suggestions on how to lessen the allergic reaction?
