Make sure that you always wash yor fash first thing in the morning, and right before you go to sleep. During the night your face produces oils which will clog your pores. Washing your fash twice a day will make sure there is minimal oil on your face. I recommend St. Ives Medicated Apricot Scrub Blemish and Blackhead Control. It's oil free, and it's active ingredient is Salicylic Acid which is what pro-active and all the leading acne treatments use as their main ingredient. Use an all over acne treatment on the places where you breakout most. Try Avon Clearskin Overnight Blemish Treatment. It is a liquid treatment that you put a thin layer of it over the infected area and it dries in 30 seconds and stays on all night. Your acne should clear up within days if you keep with this process daily. Then as a Coverup in the meantime... Use a pressed powder foundation. Make sure it is not a "color" though. Any shade of color could make your face look orange, or pink. So try a Translucent Color. (translucent means there is no color pigment) so that way it will cover it and make it all look the same shade. Try Pressed Powder Foundation from Covergirl. It comes in a small compact and it will last all day. Just make sure you wash your face because even though it might not look like it, there is lots of oil on your face.
Good Luck!

Ok, I've suffered from acne for a long time, and I found the best website, with a regimen to control my acne. I was skeptical at first, but figured that I had nothing to lose, so I gave it a shot. Within 3 weeks, my skin was completely clear, and had no zits whatsoever, and with keeping up with the regimen, I've only experienced about 2 minor breakouts, when I've been used to about 3-4 per week!!! The website is www.acne.org, give it a shot. All it cost me was 15 bucks and a trip to Wal-Mart, and now I have the clearest skin I've had in 10 years. After my skin got so clear, I can use any makeup I want and not break out. Good luck.

Hey! I use clinique superbalanced makeup teint. (and i use the "level" 03 Ivory.) and it works great!! if you do decide to try it check with the clerk you buy it from to see what teint works best for you. the smaller the number, the lighter the skin. it's also spf 15 if i'm not mistaken so you have some sorta sun screen on your face whenever you wear it!
Oh also, whenever applying it I mix in a bit of moisteriser to even it out better.
I totally suggest you start a daily ruitine of washing your face every morning and evening. During the day your skin produces oils which clogs the pores so washing it off before you go to sleep is esp essential. I reccomend you cleanse you face while in the shower, then tone and moisterise after you dry your face and you're out of the shower. I can't reccommend any specific products I'm afraid but just have a look around in a local mall...
Hope this helps! Good luck!

Keep your face clean and dry, drink lots of water. I use Mary Kay cover and blemish contorl for break outs it covers and conceals with out leaving make up markes. But it is a little pricey. But it does work.

I used to be a bargain shopper when it came to my make-up. I always bought Wal-Mart=Cover Girl, etc. until I tried MERLE NORMAN makeup.
Yes, it's kind of expensive (a jar of cream foundation is $22.00) but their makeup covers like you wouldn't believe! And, it's VERY long lasting and makes my face look soooooo smooth and pretty!
That's the brand I'll have til I die!

Get a lipstick that's your skin color. Then you take a dab and put it on the zit. Then rub it in, to make it look like you have NO zit! I hope it works.
Bonus points!!!
