The Best Makeup for Acne-Prone Skin
3. Choose the right shade.
Getting the right coverage depends on the shade of the products you use. If you have hyperpigmentation (i.e., dark spots), go for a foundation or concealer one or two shades lighter than your skin in those areas. For darker skin or lighter skin with yellow undertones, cosmetics with orange tones work best.
For general all-over coverage, find your base skin tone and use foundation that’s a shade or two darker. This will help conceal redness and scars, and it will also give you a natural finish.

Don’t forget keeping makeup utensils clean! Change makeup sponges often, use compacts that allow for separate storage of sponge, disinfect brushes often. Sephora makes a daily brush cleaning spray. These steps keep us from putting acne-causing bacteria onto our skin.
I’ve been using an Acne Clarifying Treatment from Apothederm http://apothederm.com/shop-products/brightening-acne/acne-clarifying-treatment/ and it has been working wonders on my adult acne!
The best way to control acbe UNDER makeup is to use the Citrus Clear Grapefruit Spot Treatment – it works GREAT under makeup. This is a great product for layering under other products. Not only does the ph make the 2% salicylic acid effective (and it is a pore clearing agent and is great for sensitive skin) but it contains green tea. The gel formulation means that it can be spread easily – I don’t like liquid formulations. And the price is right!
