Whats the best way to cover up you acne on your face?

Question

i sometimes break out a lot i have a cover up but it doesnt help... what brands/item would you recomend to help so that it wont show that i am breaking out

Answer 1

First off, cover up never completely takes away breakouts or acne. Unless they are good, solid brands that don't use ingrediets like lard. If you want coverup, Estee Lauder, Lancome, and Clinique are good brands to choose from.

But, if you want to totally get rid of acne, the best solution would be a prescription from a dermatologist. I was having some major breakout sessions for awhile, but after I got medication from my dermatologist, my face is completely blemish-free.

Also, if you're a person who likes buying off t.v., Proactive could work. Many have said that Proactive didn't work for them, but to be honest it varies. So you could give that a try. No harm in trying!

Answer 2

If you’re looking for accurate acne information, best to see a dermatologist. Some people believe doctors are predisposed to take the easy way to deal with acne… prescription drugs. But, with many, this simplistic answer may not be the appropriate course of action. Some feel that such prescription drugs just treat the symposium and not the underlying cause. But, a local dermatologist is still your best starting point.
For me personally, I discovered a great informational acne treatment site. Not only is there good information/articles but I got their audio e-book and following it’s advice can now say that my acne is a thing of the past! Keep in mind, were all different and there are various types of acne, so what works for some may not be totally effective for all.

Bottom line, hang in there, you will get past this! Sincere best wishes and good luck.
Oh, by the way the site that helped me is:

Answer 3

if i were u, i would go 2 my doctor and ask 4 a prescription 2 get rid of my acne. I use 2 have an acne problem a couple of years ago and i went 2 my doc and told him about it. he gave me a prescription of some cream. i used it every 2 or 3 days and then i gradually increased 2 everyday. It worked! now I don't break out as much like i di b4. every once in awhile i'll put on cover up but i hardly put it on cuz my skin doesn't really need it. instead i put on eye shadow, eyeliner, and mascara and also lip gloss.

Answer 4

Hmm...well, I use Bare Minerals to cover up redness when I get the occasional breakout. I've also found using a Chanel foundation eliminates alot of redness as well.

I'd also advise you to have a daily face washing regime (if you don't already) I use Proactive every other day (it was too harsh and drying to use every day on my skin) and Cetaphil on the the days I don't use the Proactive. It's very, very mild! Then I just use a oil-free moisturizer throughout the day.

Good luck!

Answer 5

Avon's Natural Concealer stick, Natural Liquid Foundation and Natural Loose Powder.

Answer 6

The one by Chanel called, "Chanel anti Taches" works great and helps you from breaking out... Head to a department store that sells Chanel products and ask them to apply it to your face before you buy! Make sure that you try it before you buy 'cause it's a bit pricy...so you don't have to get stuck with it if you did not like it.

Also, have you tried clinique products?? Their foundation works for a lot of people...

So Far my Chanel cover up has worked great for me and I only break out once in a while.

Answer 7

Check out Mary Kay products they work great they have a wonderful skin care lines and they have concealers that are great and foundations that are great I don't wear the concealer because when I seldom have break out now but the foundation is that great you can email and ask for samples at www.marykay.com/kfrench2006

Answer 8

i also get acne break outs bad sometimes. I find wearing cover up obnly makes it worse. Since i have stopped wearing make up my face has cleared up alot. Show your natural beauty, not your store bought beauty.

Answer 9

Treating acne is much better than covering it.

Answer 10

I would get a medicated treatment first of all to get rid of the breakouts. For concealer I would use covergirl truematch.
