If you need some coverage while treating your acne, I recommend using Mineral Makeup.  It's lightweight, gives natural looking coverage and does not contain any pore clogging ingredients.

Less is more

When trying to conceal any imperfection, always remember that less is better. Applying too much makeup to any area can actually draw attention to it. Mineral makeup is the perfect choice to correct imperfections as it contains powerful, light-reflective properties, making flaws practically invisible. In addition, mineral makeup provides a natural, chemical-free sunblock, shielding the skin from future damage.

Using the proper skin care products is a great way to prevent and slow up the process of aging.

A step by step guide on how to cover up acne

To cover up:

  • Use a yellow toned concealer first and lightly pat it on the breakout
  • Apply your foundation
  • Apply another regular skin toned concealer on top
  • Take a kleenex and blot. This removes any excess oils from the products
  • Lastly, powder

You'll find the cover up lasts hours longer, without the creasing and caking.

try neutrogena oil free acne wash, a face lotion like dove which has spf 15.
then try a concealer like almay.
then foundation, i use maybelline mineral power powder foundation.
and the color matches my skin perfectly if i get a pimple i just cover it up with that and lasts forever.
