The Best Makeup for Acne-Prone Skin
4. Don’t overdo it.
Believe it or not, less is more when it comes to covering dark spots and pimples. Now, I don’t mean you can just dab a little powder on your face and think that’s enough to cover an irritated area! What I am saying is that limiting the number of products you put on your face and using them all in moderation can still give great coverage. If you want to use concealer, lightly pat it onto the affected area. You don’t have to douse it thinking it will give better coverage once the foundation is applied.

Bare Escentuals is great and actually helps my skin.
i don’t usually wear makeup at school, but whenever I travel back home (to Nigeria), I always wear Bare Escentuals. The combination of that and less stress heals my skin.

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!
