My little brothers girlfriend wants me to do her makeup for a special family occasion. she has pretty bad acne and acne scars. and to be honest I've never worked on skin with a lot of acne. so I'm seeing this as an opportunity to learn something new!
any good foundations you ladies recommend to hide the acne and acne scars? NOTE she mentioned her skin is very sensitive. that the foundations she's tried in the past make her break out bad :( so I'm having a hard time finding something that works. thanks in advance xoxo

I have very sensitive skin and I use to have bad acne. I would highly recommend Neutrogena's Healthy Skin Foundation and the matching powder. Not only does it give great converge, but it will also help to heal her acne and prevent more from occurring overtime :)

Wow thank you girls so much! I'll probably go with the neutrogena one for now just because it's more within my budget. but I'm definitely going to be trying both out. :) xoxo

Kat Von D foundation is great for covering up stuff like that (not sure how it does with sensitive skin). I know it is a little more expensive but you could always just go get a sample of it since it is for one night and then let her keep the rest if she likes it or if you are the same color use the rest on yourself. If you do use it, I find it works better applied with a sponge that has been squirted lightly once or twice, it will apply nicer and feel like nothing is being worn.
