Hey!!
I wanted to know if anyone had any recommendations for makeup foundations that won't break out my moderate-severe acne prone skin. I did some research and found that Laura Mercier's Silk Creme Oil free Foundation works wonders and has great coverage for scars/pimples (oil free, spf 30, matte). Also, I've always used Giorgio Armani's Maestro foundation and I was not sure if giving Laura Mercier a try or continuing this one. It never breaks me out and it's not oil free, but it's a lightweight pigmented dry oil. Anyway, I don't want to sound pretentious. These brands are hella expensive but I'm willing to pay for it if it's worth it.
I'm going on a mild dosage of accutane in about 3 weeks so I'm worried about whether they will be too dry or how my skin will respond to them. Which makeup did you use during accutane, if any? Did any of you try the above and did they work?
Normally I don't wear makeup too often so I'm kind of clueless but I'm going to college and being that girl with acne has really depressed me in high school. I hope that covering up while my skin gets better will improve my confidence..:)
Thank you for helping and sharing your thoughts on this site.. It really is empowering to see that there are others in my position
I recommend Bare Minerals. They're known for their powder foundations but they came out with a liquid too for more coverage. Try to use only the powder though for a daily foundation and use the liquid for nights out or special events. I like to cover up spots with concealer then apply the Bare Minerals Blemish Remedy powder all over. That stuff is amazing! The Blemish Remedy powder has great ingredients for acne. This site helps a lot too you can search the ingredients in whatever product you're using and it will say if it will clog pores or not. [removed]
Best of luck!
