No more struggling when covering acne scars with makeup. No more making breakouts worse when you try to camouflage them.
Tattoo artist Kat Von D created her Lock-It Foundation to cover up her face tattoos, but the full-coverage formula works just as well on problem skin. Get it for $36 on Sephora.
The fullest-coverage foundation that Estee Lauder has to offer, Double Wear Maximum Cover Camouflage is perfect for people dealing with red acne bumps or faded acne scars. It's super long-wearing, too! Get it on Amazon, $42.
Tarte's Amazonian Clay Foundation is "skin-smart" - meaning it "intuitively" adjusts to fit your skin needs. Plus, it's vegan and has SPF 15. Available on Sephora, $39.
Dermablend has set the industry standard when it comes to covering acne and acne scars. It was even devleoped by a dermatologist, so you know it's safe to use on broken skin. Get it on Amazon, $37.
Born This Way is infused with "coconut water to help replenish the skin’s moisture levels without over hydrating" and "enriched with the resilient Alpine rose to brighten your skin’s appearance and promote elasticity." Basically, you need this stuff. It's $39 on Sephora.
Make Up For Ever is known as the brand with the best long-wear products, and its HD Invisible Cover Foundation is no exception. Even on top of oily skin, this stuff stays put all day. Get it at Sephora, $43.
