What makeup covers acne scars really well?

Question

I have a bit of discoloration on my skin, not acne. I just want to conceal it well (they almost look like freckles) Any good foundation/concealer brands that will make me look flawless?

Please don't say mac, I tried what the lady reccomend me. It felt like i had layers on my face. I used studio finish concealer and full coverage powder.

Answer 1

scarzone  

Answer 2

i really like bare minerals foundation. it goes on really light and sheer, but for those extra areas that need coverage, you can simply layer it on without a cakey, heavy feel or look. I have acne scars on my cheeks too, and  used to use M.A.C. to cover it up (i used studio finish powder and then studio finish cream concealer) - but i found it kinda gross and noticeable. Bareminerals just kinda glides on, and i only need a tiny bit to even out my entire complexion - at the same time, adding a bit more to my cheeks doesn't end up looking cakey or harsh. ]

good luck :)

TIME.

You might also try professional defoliation and a deep clean/ moisturizing treatment.

I take it you had acne and there are dark marks on your skin where the acne was years ago?

How many years ago?

What skin tone / color do you have?

I suspect the problem is that the concealer you were sold is only suitable for certain lighting conditions.

You probably need to find a foundation / concelaer that looks good under several different kinds of lightning.

Try to find a makeup saleswoman who has similar skn tones to your own and explain the makeup must be suitalbe for all kinds of lighting.

Have you tried Max Factor ?

Mary Kay is great & use a green or yellow primer... the southernmagnoliamnerals, has a green powder primer that totally works & blends in your skin..it also helps with your acne having zinc in it's make up formulas & good things unlike those seen on tv with fillers.

Mineral oil is a no no to you, so watch for that hidden culprit.Mineral powders, are your best bet.  

Answer 5

bare minerals they have concealer that you put on first. I have dark freckles and I know your problem. I will take some time and practice applying because you are use to covering to conceal and you dont with bare minerals. Watch the video they send be patience and you as I will be very happy. You can sleep in it and wake up with just enough makeup on to look good. But if you dont want to go to the expense- MAC minerals is great it doesnt take as much time to put on but u have to use the MAC primer and mineral liqud to cover the marks. What you really need to do is replenish your skin and let it heal itself bare minerals is worth getting for that because l had freckles and ance scares. but you will need to get the whole kit ; face vitamins spray primer etc. about 135.00  dollars bareminerals.com or qvc.com  

Answer 6

marykay natural mineral powder works really really well. I use it and i love it. It feels like you don't have any make-up on, yet it covers nicely.

I use GloMineral makeup and it can give you full coverage with any type of foundation they have, whether its pressed powder, loose powder or liquid. GloMinerals is very good for your skin because it has vitamins A, C, E and K so its actually helping while its on there.

However instead of covering your discoloration, I would recommend getting some microdermabrasion or chemical peels. Both reduce the appearance by removing layers of the skin that contain the damage. Another option is using a bleaching or lightening serum to lighten the hyperpigmentation. If you do use the serums, you need to wear plenty of sunscreen otherwise exposure to the sun can bring the pigmentation right back. this way your skin can actually be flawless instead of looking it!

Answer 9

I use bare minerals and I love it. Ihave a birth mark that is slightly darker than my skin and it covered it and it also covers acne well. It feels and looks natural. I really didn't believe the hype and the infomericals but then a friend of mine was putting it on one day and was raving about it so I gave it a try. I've used so many concealers for my breakouts and they wouldn't match my skin color or didnt have enough coverage. This is the only one that has worked for me. And it doesn't clog your pores like most makeup which just makes your breakouts worse.
