Best concealer for my skin type?

Question

I am a light-skinned african- american with a very oily t-zone, acne prone skin, and a few acne scars on my chin and cheeks, with that said, whats the best concealer for my skin type?

Answer 1

I have found that the absolute best concealer is actually Bare Minerals make up! It covers very nicely, and if you buy the beginner's package w/ the brushes, they send you a concealer brush that works fabulously! It's not all hype, like w/ most products that claim to be great. I love it, and use only their "cover up."

Answer 2

I suggest Mary Kay's Light Bronze Concealer. Their products are great. You can't even tell you are wearing makeup, your skin can still breath with it all on! Also, because you do have oily skin, I would suggest switching your skin care program to Mary Kay's. They have an entire skin care line that is used to help reduce oil (combination to oily Timewise). Anyway, my skin is very oily, but by using Mary Kay (for the last 3 years) it is far more tolerable now. Not to mention I never have breakouts anymore. You can go to http://www.marykay.com to find a local consultant. Well, hope that helps some!

Answer 3

I'm no cosmetician, so please don't track me down and kill me if I'm wrong, but I think a liquid concealer would be best. Stick concealers tend to be too thick, especially for acne prone skin. But a liquid concealer is perfect for covering up acne and scars and evening skin tone because it's so thin and blendable. I think you should find a medicated concealer, or at least one that won't clog your pores. I prefer Physician's Formula, though on occasion you'll run into something decent from, say, Maybelline or Cover Girl.

Answer 4

I love the NAO concealer cuz it has 2 shades in each pan and you can go a little lighter or darker depending on what you are trying to do. You may want to try the clear.now system if you are super oily too...works better than proactive and if your skin is better you need less concealer. Contact me if you want to try or more info--it is not available in stores.

Answer 5

liquid concealer is best.
it blends well and looks natural.
but you can also try stick concealer on your pimples to hide them.
covergirl makes good liquid concealer,
and maybelling new york makes great stick concealer.
try those.

for your oily skin - use oil blotting sheets.
for pimples - apply clearasyl cream every night.
to fix both at once - use proactiv solution.
