Foundation + ACNE scars????

Hi I need a good, fairly cheap, drugstore foundation. I have acne scars/ big pores on my nose and T-zone. I need something with good coverage but wont be mask like...concealers i've tried dont work for me cause they fill up the pores and make them a really bright color than the rest of the skin ewww even under foundation...THANKS!!!
Foundation + ACNE scars????
Hi...I understand where you're coming from. I used Neutrogena skin-clearing foundation for a while (because at least it didn't make my skin break out) but the coverage was not that great for acne scars - to cover them I'd have to use so much that it looked mask-like. Unfortunately there is not a lot out there that covers acne scars that isn't a little mask-like but the best I've found is L'Oreal foundation. I use "Feel Naturale" but I think probably any one of them that is oil-free and non-comedogenic would be safe for you. It doesn't make my skin break out. It provides GREAT coverage but goes on smooth and looks more natural %26amp; less caky than anything else I've tried. But I still have to use concealer with it. I use concealer on top of it rather than under it and try to blend it a bit so it looks more natural (although I do understand that sometimes that's not possible). I use Neutrogena concealer for blemishes.





I've heard rave reviews about what mineral powder foundations do for covering acne scars, etc. and I tried that for a while and it is fairly good coverage. But these powders are not necessarily cheap at all and you want something inexpensive - although on eBay you could find it more inexpensively than elsewhere, if you wanted to try it. It might work for you but it's just not my thing - it's so messy to deal with loose powder all the time and I have to touch up with pressed powder frequently during the day (to mop up the oil slick on my face), so to me it just looks really unnatural when there are so many coats of powder on my face. =)





Instead I use L'Oreal foundation with a light layer of MAC Blot powder on top, which I touch up during the day but looks a lot less caky even with repeated touchups, than other powders I've tried. MAC Blot powder is about $21 and one compact doesn't last too long - so if you want only inexpensive powder it wouldn't be the way to go, but if you really want it, you can find it slightly less expensively on eBay.





I hope all of this helps you.

u have to pay the price if u want to look good so i would suggest the Mac big time and try getting facials they significantly close ur pores!
Reply:When in the drugstore look for a cream foudation. Creams tend to give heavier coverage that would cover scars. I would suggest getting a translucent powder as well to set the foundation. If you haven't already, please see a dermatologist about the cause a cure of your acne. It's always better to clear it up vs. covering it up.
Reply:u can't wear make up if u have spot they will only get worse and look ugly. I've there before what I would suggest is get rid of the problem then after it's all cleared up u can then enjoy and smudge as much make up as u like without looking messy trust me once ur spots are gone whatever foundation u use cheap or expensive it will always look beautiful and natural looking.
