Does anyone know a good cover up or whatever for covering up some acne? I really want to cover it up, I have kinda oily skin btw.

I like to use the Revlon Colorstay concealer, and the foundation is pretty good too. The Covergirl 3in1 foundation as well as their Clean line does a good job as well, in my opinion anyways(:

I like the Clinique acne solutions line personally sometimes I will layer a full coverage foundation over it like MUFE is noncomedogenic n kat Von D has never broke me out so I use that too.

It really varies, I have acne, (as you can tell in my pictures) I use mac's foundation and products, cover fx is made for sensitive skin types. I wouldn't use the word "problems" to describe it that's a little harsh. Lol.
I myself have tried cover fx and I hated it, it was too heavy on my skin, and I makes me look cake faced, and it works best when you set it with coverfx's other products, but also, take in mind that what might work for me might not work for someone else, what doesn't work for me might work for someone else. I would recommend trying to sample some foundations at sephora or go to a dermatologist that can examine your skin and make recommendations. I am personally pleased with mac's foundation

I agree with Gen that you need to shop around and sample products. Everyone's skin is different, so no one is going to have the same reaction to a product. I recommend using a primer before your foundation so that it creates a barrier between your skin, and the face products. I really like hourglass, and NYX angel viel at the moment, but there's so many great ones on the moment right now. As far as covering up the acne, I really love Mac Pro longwear concealer, and Kevyn Aucoin sensual skin enhancer. Mac pro longwear is great, it covers well, doesn't crease, stays matte & stays put for the day! Kevyn Aucoin sensual skin enhancer AMAZING. You may be freaked out because the price is around $48 but it will last you a VERY along time! If your going for a full coverage look, you need the smallest amount. A pea sized amount will cover your face, and you will look flawless. Or you can use it on your problem areas in its full strength, and then mix some with moisturizer and put it all over!

Also just take note on what your skin loves, and doesn't love. Knowing what products your skin personally disagrees with can make a world of difference!

And I'm talking about products you can get at like CVS or Walgreens.

Hmm, that's a little complicated, because you can't really sample those. :( maybe try the physicians formula line, or almay.

In that case just stick to products that specifically say "noncomedogenic" and you should be ok but like gen said everyone's skin is different and I know I broke out personally with physicians formula but I'm also quite sensitive to certain drugstore ingredients which is why I tend to stay away from them for the most part - another helpful website for me is cosdna.com you can analyze cosmetic ingredients to pin point which ones you are sensitive to and which can disrupt acne as well and just stay away from those - I used to use almay n it's ok just be careful like with any makeup don't leave it on overnight but it didn't give me too many problems before.

I use Rimmels wake me up concealer
It's supposed to be an under eye concealer ( I also find it works well under eyes ) but it is full coverage and helps the look of redness and just makes skin look flawless
