Pick the items that help you out of the below for both guys and girls, weather the face, or the body scars there are some solutions below

Unisex guys and Girls:porefessional by benefit, it blurs the scars for guys and girls and has no tint, can be used alone or as a primer. Other Silicone or primers can be samples at Sephora, ... goto the store and ask for a sample to test the product on your scars. You want to fill the scar before you put on makeup over it. Hydration / moisturizer is essential before a primer as you want to plump your skin, ... use a tretinorin nightly or once a week if you can't do that. Some makeup artists say do not put makeup on the scars as it can emphasize them, other's say just spot treat the scars and leave the good skin bare. Silicone ingredients can help. Fake Tan, Spray Tan, Self Tan, has helped many cover the look of their scars.

There are light reflecting / bluring powders that help as well.

Go into a department store and try dermablend, see if they have a makeup artist who can try it on you and see how it looks. IT's for after surgeries.

The lighter the makeup the better as thick makeup shows the issues most and is cakey face (less is more only treat problem areas). Light Mineral makeups can be good.

Go on youtube and put makeup for scars or acne scars and you will find some info in there. Wayne a famous vlogger says pat the foundation into the scar, multiple coats, then press a mineral powder into the scar, watch the video for how to.

Guyswant less makeup and it to look natural (sometimes just spot treating areas), but hide their imperfections, girls want a bit of color and higher coverage.For guys and girls temporary tan can be great to hide scars as well, tinted sunscreen are also effective. Dermablend, spot treat only the scars, no one will know you have it on. See above Unisex ^.

Emphasize eyes and lips

Self Tan, Spray Tan, Fake Tan(Caucasians will get more of a darker yellow tint - Think Jersey Shore)

Tattooing for Permanent Discolored Scars:See videos below, works best for scars with no pigment, but can be done over the scars.
