Covering up acne

I have some acne on my nose, forehead and cheeks and I want to cover it up for a special occasion. I have tried with many different products to try to cover it up, but you can always still see it. How can I cover it up?

Well unfortunately you can't cover up the acne itself, there will always be raised bumps no matter what. But you can cover up the redness. Try color correcting, use a green concealer or primer to cancel out the redness and then go over with foundation.

I agree with Isabel, a raised bump is going to look like a raised bump. If you have all over redness than go for a green primer but if it's just certain areas then go for a green concealer followed by your skin tone concealer. Make sure the concealer is your skin tone and not any lighter otherwise you're just highlighting it instead of concealing it (:

Green primer for redness but the bump will still be there, also, I believe it's good to let acne breathe (no makeup) and for me it goes away faster.
