Anyone have any make-up tips for covering acne scars?

They are not really that bad, but it's for a wedding, and the bride is really paranoid about them. Are there any really good concealers out there, or any tips on make-up application which could cover them?





ThanksAnyone have any make-up tips for covering acne scars?
1-u put eye concealer exactly on the scar with a shade slightly lighter than the skin color


2-u put the usual skin foundation on all the face


3- after the foundation is a BIT dry u add powder (which is also great for the wedding for powder will absorb the sweating from the bride's face)





* now here is a makeup professional good tip for if the scars' color are red or u have redness in ur face (as a would be pimple or a spot..), there is a special concelear it is green color (not kidding) u put on the scar then u add the foundationAnyone have any make-up tips for covering acne scars?
Dermablend is a make up that was designed for burn scars but works well with other types of blemishes as well Report Abuse

try microdermabration...its a little pricey buts works like a miracle and will actually get rid of acne scaring... Report Abuse

for the ';green'; colored concealer you can find that in the Physicians Formula, its actually good for coverage. Report Abuse

Why cover them at all...


I'm sure your a beautiful girl and look just fine..


don't try to look unnatural. let your true beauty show!!

Dab on neutrogena advanced solutions ance mark fading peel three times a week. Also try Janet Sartin undereye concealer ( I use this all over face,not just eyes) Report Abuse

I would actually advise AGAINST microdermabrasion. If you've never done it, you don't know how your skin will react.





A lot of ppl who try it, get red, blotchy faces from the irritation. And if you have sensitive skin, it can wreck havoc. Report Abuse

well, ii'm actually going through the same thing. I started to use Avon Blackhead cleanser, and toner, soo far soo good. the blackheads are leaving and my face is going back to its usually cuteness. Report Abuse

I use Revlon Colorstay foundation ! Just apply to face, it sets in seconds and use optional blush and powder to finish! Simple and cheap! You'll be shocked at how an over the counter makeup can cover! Report Abuse

Merle Norman's everlasting foundation and concealer is very good!! It may cost a little more than the Wal - Mart brand but ITS WORTH IT!!!... ( put the foundation on first and then the concealer.. the foundation holds the concealer longer so that it doesnt smear while putting on foundation.) ;)) Report Abuse

Use cocoa butter to lighten acne scars then use revlon foundation and concealer. By use cocoa butter over a period of time, this will lessen acne scars on your face and even your skin tone. Report Abuse

put some powder like a light colored blush that matches your skin tone then put a little foundation over it! Report Abuse

I work in a clinic that includes a dermatology office, and we received samples of the green, anti-reddening products (sold by Eucerin). The spot treatment works particularly well, and it's light. For a wedding, I would recommend a professional make-up artist, right?? Report Abuse

What I have found that works for me; is a long lasting make-up by Merle Norman. Don;t have scars, I do have dark cirlcles and it works great. It does require a good make-up remover, this stuff will not wear off. It makes my face feel so smooth. It even passes the sweat test. Report Abuse

Try cinema secrets, thats some good makeup, expensive but good... Report Abuse

I would suggest a bag, maybe brown paper. Report Abuse

Bare Ecentuals or Bare Minerals works wonders. I have problem skin myself and this makeup makes my skin look natural and airbrushed, I swear. Sephora sells starter kits for around $60, which is a huge bargain. Report Abuse

You can get a chemical peel for about 50 dollars at your local medical spa. Covering up acne is a quick, short term solution. There are many benefits to the peel, you're not only getting rid of scars but you're smoothing our your skin %26amp; eliminating fine lines. Plus, its nice to be pampered. Report Abuse

get laser treatments. its the best way to get rid of acne scars..... takes off layers of damaged skin and allows new skin to grow. Report Abuse

I have acne scars and I, recently, discovered (as if it was lost) Revlon ColorStay. It has been an absolutely blessing to me. Report Abuse

Try BareMinerals,it's a great foundation. It's power form. At first I didn't think it would provide any coverage, but it does! It feels totally natural, unlike any liquid/creme foundation. My skin feels like it can breathe, especially during the summer and while exercising. Report Abuse

ask LINSAY LOHAN..........





u can try a good concealor.
If there is redness, get Physicians Formula green stuff, it evens out the red and makes it browner, just dab some on, let it dry a little bit, and dab off the excess. Then use concealer over it as you usually would.


I get mine from Walmart.
I have some acne scarring and I found that Clinique Pore Minimizer is quite good at hiding them. Even though it is for hiding pores (put on under or over your foundation) it helps to hide my scars.
Max factor Revlon and Covergirl are really good products.
Use Bare Minerals.
a green concealer stick covers red. so do that before you put on foundation and that sould take away any red spots or scars.
Hi, I actually read this really good article about it, you'll find more useful information there I'm sure:

Try mineral makeup. It is light but covers spots.





It is made from natural ingredients so is good for your skin.





puritycosmetics.co.uk is a good brand.
