Ok. Let's just say I've been getting a lot of pimples recently. I know why, but I would like to cover them up with some makeup to get me through out the day. Society is cruel, and I want to hide my imperfections, long story short. I need recommendations for some good concealers. If you could suggest some, that would be amazing!! Thank you!!

I love Benefits Bo-ing concealer! It has good coverage, and a great consistency for covering blemishes. It wears all day when I set it with powder. The only con is that they only have about 3-4 shades.

Well if they're red you'll want to use a green concealer first. the concealer I use (not green) is hard candy glamoflauge.

I had pretty bad acne myself and was told not to cover it up but lets be real here, I was not going looking like this so, I purshased the Maybeline New York BB cream. Its called the dream pure bb cream. It contains salicylic acid which is used against acne. It is not a concealer but can act as one if you wish. Great coverage and very affordable. Retails for around 10$ US and is a drugstore product. I have been using it for a while now and my acne is slowly fading away. Really great product.

Elf concealer palettes are cheap and effective. one has different shades the other has peach green pink and tan in it. I use palette #2.

Use a foundation with food coverage like Loreal True Match to even out your akin tonw first. I suggest purchasing a concealer palet that has green concealer ans stuff like that in it...would b better since your trying to cover up acne. Then apply a powder all over your face to set the makeup.
