So it seems like a lot of people on the forums have what I have -- billions of pesky tiny flesh colored bumps that are filled with keratiny grossness rather than the classic whitehead. They aren't obvious from a distance, but are definitely noticeable up close. When I break up with a regular pink/red pimple, I can cover it up usually with foundation..but I have not had any luck with these tiny flesh colored bumps. Neither primer or foundations seem to make them better or worse, which is pretty much the deal with my numerous tiny ice pick scars also. Has anyone had luck covering up these bumps? I've tried Dior, Makeup Forever, Laura Mercier.. the list goes on.

Thanks!

Unfortunately, makeup can't really hide the appearance of bumps, only colors...so it can certainly make them look less noticeable, but no makeup will ever completely hide the bumps.

I get bumpy pores, though, and I've found Revlon Colorstay liquid foundation is great for covering them. Like I said, obviously you can still see the bumps up close, but they're a lot less noticeable.

^Exactly as she said. As much as you cover-up, you'll never be able to hide the apperance of the bumps or the texture of the bumps.

Have you tried the BeneFit Porefessional primer? I find it fills in the bumps a bit making the overall apperance a bit smoother. You might have already tried this one though.

Those bumps are the worst and so hard to cover up. I'm just glad they aren't bright red when I get them.
