Cover Makeup for Acne by Schmeg.com

   

I have moderate to severe adult acne, especially on my chin and temples, and have found that most types of makeup actually make the acne more noticeable, not less. I have yet to find a cure for this and continue to use acne creams with Benzoyl Peroxide as they do offer some help. Meanwhile, when a blemish does show up I need to cover it up now! I've tried for awhile to find a concealer that works. I have tried many foundations (loose powders, pressed powders, foundation sticks and liquid foundations). They either look splotchy and unnatural, or they start to dry up and crumble after a few hours.

I was introduced to Bare Escentuals SPF 15 mineral powder a few weeks ago by my hair stylist and I really think it's the best cover makeup for acne I've used so far. Since it is a powder, I use moisturizer as a base even for my oily skin.

To apply the foundation, swirl a little onto your make up brush, tap off the excess and buff into your skin. This product blends well into your skin and, unlike traditional foundations there is no stop/start border line, you know that line at the bottom of your chin where your foundation stops and your skin begins). It takes all of abot 1 1/2 minutes to apply.

Although this foundation is expensive ( around $40), it really is a miracle for my blemished skin. It made my acne less noticeable and doesn't irritate my skin, which is really nice. It's easy to apply and lasts all day long
