Make Up for Acne (Basic - No Contouring)

I honestly can't remember a time when I've had no spots or redness. It's a pain in the you-know-what if you fancy having a no makeup day. You can't.

I've been using this makeup routine for a while now and I love every product so much! Especially my concealer. If it's ever discontinued I will cry. Literally. 

This is done by using 3 products only (not including primer) and I swear by every single one of them. 

The products I use are in the picture below:

Mac Studio Fix foundation in NW22

This gives the perfect coverage for my skin. I have combination skin so it's fine for my dry areas of skin however is a tad too wet for my oiler patches of skin.

Laura Geller Balance 'n' Brighten baked powder in Medium

This does wonders to conceal my acne as it adds more coverage and also, because it's a baked powder, it evens out the oily areas that the Mac foundation has created to leave a perfect matte finish without looking cakey

Maybelline Concealer Cover Stick in Nude

This is without a doubt the best concealer I have ever came across. Like. Ever. It's extremely affordable and has maximum coverage. Purchase it - you won't be disappointed!

Laura Geller Spackle Under Makeup Primer

This is an oil-free primer and leaves your skin feeling fresh before you apply your makeup. The way it changes the texture of your skin is amazing, like a flat blank canvas. It truly keeps my makeup on all day and I rarely have to touch it up.

Method:

1. I place a pea-sized amount of primer over my freshly washed face and rub it in everywhere including my lips and eyelids, it's so moisturising! Plus it also acts as an eyeshadow primer. 
2. Next step - concealer. The simplistic lipstick shape of this concealer makes it extremely easy to apply. I just draw over my red spots and acne until I've covered everything I want, then with a flat foundation brush, blend blend blend!
3. Next, I pump a small amount of Mac foundation onto the back of my hand (a little goes a long way with this foundation, 1 pump will cover your entire face and then some!) using a stippling brush I apply it all over my face then buff it into my skin. 
4. Laura Geller time. To finish off the process, swirl a soft brush in circular motions in the baked powder and, again in circular motions, apply this all over the face - or just over the sections you feel need to be more matte. 

And you're done! 

I hope this was helpful to any acne-sufferers such as myself,

Love,
