I have tiny dark spots on my forehead from acne in the past & I can’t get nothing to cover them!! I’ve tried everything! What’s a good brand to use? (price doesn’t really matter!)& what is the best way to apply makeup? I watch tv alot & notice the makeup artists usually use brushes for the makeup…

    For acne prone skin, stay away from oil-based cosmetics b/c it can cause you more pimples. use oil-free cosmetics! For your pimple scars, you need a concealer with good coverage. they said green color can neutralize the redness of scars. I suggest Physicians formula brand, they are mostly oil-free, talc-free, non-comedogenic, fragrance-free, and hypoallergenic. Other brands like Neutrogena, Max factor and Maybelline also has oil-free products.

    Oh yeah, brushes can be good but there’s a high chance that it can clog your skin pores, which is bad. If you wish to use one, be sure to use the soft bristled and bushy ones so that it will go on gently on your skin.

    First I would try and find a fading cream for dark spots and maybe a scar cream if your acne left any marks. Go to any drug store and you will find fade and scar creams. The healthiest makeup for your skin is mineral makeup since you can sleep in it and it will also improve your skins condition.The best way to protect your face from damage is with spf 30 face cream. Exposure to the sun will make acne worse so make sure spf is always applied before being outside. Hope this helped!!!!!! :)

    In my opinion it’s “Clinique.” Clinique is especially made for people that have allergies and acne. It has no fragrances and is oil free. It is my favorite of oily skins because it’s lightweight, and it blends easily to a smooth, matte finish that won’t clog pores.

    Mineral make up is great, because its natural and oil free it doesn’t clog pores and also you don’t get the thick cakey look most foundations give.

    definitely bare minerals. it’s all natural ingredients so it conceals, but feels like your not wearing any make up. my skin has actually improved since i got it. i’m never going back to liquid face make up again bare minerals literally changed my life. buy it at a bare minerals store or sephora you won’t be sorry =]

    If you say price doesn’t matter then try using Dermablend. I have a lot of acne scars and this gives you great coverage. It is a thick cream and should be applied with your fingers to your face but to me it seems too much so I use a makeup sponge and wet it a little and then apply the makeup. They also sell a setting powder that works great! I also have very oily skin and this is the best makeup I’ve found so far. I went to try it out at Dillard’s before buying and I suggest you do the same!
