Okay so, I have kinda cystic acne on my cheeks and quite a lot of acne scars, I use Maybelline's green stick concealer to cover redness.. but I either have an awkward greenish tinge cause I don't want to cake my face by applying more and more foundation or I get really dry skin from having to put on a lot of powder just so it looks like my skin tone

but even still some redness shows, how can I apply concealer and foundation to cover it all??

Also what are some good foundations? Recently I've been using Rimmel London's Lasting Finish (it has a red lid)

If your skin has a green tint to its due to using too much green concealer.
You could try using less of it. Whenever I color-correct I use a color-corrector and then concealer over

You could also try using a green concealer over the redness as a way to add more green so then you use less of the color-corrector which adds more texture compared to a primer that quite thin.

I'm assuming you have oily skin? I own the revlon colour stay for oily skin and it is a great foundation with quite good coverage. I find though because I don't have overly oily skin that I have to make sure I have moisturised skin. If you're feeling a bit fancy hit up Estée Lauders double wear foundation.

Good concealed on the other hand, make have a good full coverage concealer called studio finish. If I was you I would try to spot correct with this.
