I have really bad acne. What would you say is the best foundation/concealer/powder combo or brand to cover it?

I have tried many types, but they often don't fully cover it. BareMinerals worked for a while, but it caused really really bad breakouts. Help!I have really bad acne. What would you say is the best foundation/concealer/powder combo or brand to cover it?
I hav the same promblem. Solution: use a liquid foundation, and for extra cover apply a little of a liquid conceler.


Here are some good ones from Paula Begoun (aka cosmetics cop):


foundation - almay clear complexion liquid makeup ; clinique


superfit makeup foundation ; boots no7 stay


perfect foundation spf 15; lo'real paris true match


super blendable makeup spf 17


conceler - lo'real true match or airwear long-wearing ; m.a.c.


select coverup ; mary kay mk signature concealer ;


maybelline new york instant age rewind double

Mineral makeup usually doesn't cause breakouts at all, in fact its usually highly recommended for people with acne-prone skin. However I'm not familiar with BareMinerals, so it might have something in it that's a bit different to the other brands.





I would say stick with mineral makeup definately. You'll need to make sure you're well colour matched though, matching the foundation and concealor colour to your skintone is probably the most important thing.





Also, make sure you wash your makeup brushes well every week. Whoever sells you your brushes should be able to tell you how.





I have had hormonal acne for 3 years now, and mineral makeup has never aggravated it. When the acne is really bad though, I have to admit, nothing can cover the bumps - but it does cover the redness and the ';painful-looking-bits';. Bumps can be very visible particularly in direct sunlight no matter what cover you're using.





I personally use i.d. Bare Escentuals (as my summer colour) and Glominerals has my winter colour.





Acne can be trying, particularly with makeup and cover choices - but hang in there! :) And SMILE - it really does take the focus away!
you'd be crazy to cover your acne, you will clog it and not give it the chance to heal.





acne looks TERRIBLE when someone's attempted to cover it with makeup. You can't hide it, your best bet is to keep it CLEAN and FREE of oils and makeup or powders to allow it to heal and so you can use whatever treatment you choose.





Covering it will not do you favours.
well by covering it up with make up makes it worse


the chemicals in the makeup reacts with your acne


just wash your face reguarly, but washing your face too much and scrubbing makes it worse


try to buy natural products


the best thing is to wash your face with tea tree oil facial wash, twice a day and have lots of water


if your concerened ask your doctor who could prescibe you some medicine to help heal the acne


Make up just covers the problem it doesnt solve it!





hope i helped xxxxx
Well i suggest you lay off the concealers and stuff they don't let youre skin breathe...since you have bad acne it makes it worse especially when you sweat it makes it MUCH worse for now just take care of your skin washing it and stuff...if you really want them to go you should o to the dermattologist and they will give you a good cream or atibaotic...Good luck %26lt;3
hi, there is a great product new to market that really helps heal and repair damage to skin from acne.


At first it will bring out more acne as it is detoxifying your skin but within 2 1/2 weeks it will show you remarkable difference.


my friends daughter uses it and it has been wonderful.


Go to my source and give it a try. Can't say enough of how well this works and it is natural with no harsh chemicals.
LA minerals


its like bare minerals but it doesnt have whatever it is that is in bare minerals that makes people break out.


[i cant remember the name of the ingredient, sorry]
i personally found that the best thing to do is to try and get rid of them. clinique line worked for me.
