    Default Full Coverage Foundation

    Hi!
    I'm trying to find a full coverage foundation for dry skin, with acne and acne scarring, any recommendations?

    Ok. Well first fluid is not the best if you have acne, but again that is a choice that you will decide on what you are most comfortable with. I don't know any good fluid ones. So I guess I'm at zero help. I'm sorry :/

    Keep in mind that your makeup will look only as good as your skin actually is, yes you can find a full coverage foundation but just make sure that you are taking the right steps to prep your skin for that flawless application. Avon makes a very nice "flawless" foundation, easy to blend too. I know that gossmakeupartist on youtube. has some really great tips on acne scarring, he recommends retin-a which is awesome for acne, wrinkles and scarring, you can research it. That way you no longer have to worry about covering so much

    retin-a will dry out the skin, so if dry skin already is there not sure that it's a good idea. i would try to treat it with other things before medications, but that's just my opinion

    Maggie is right, it will dry out the skin, everyones skin reacts differently to retin-a, i applyed it after cleansing my face and before my night moisturizer, aleays use it at night and wash it off in the a.m, it does gice your face a nice glow and will gradually help banish scars

    Sorry, I was thinking about the Prescription pills you can get - almost the same name. But I guess it's kind of the same stuff and effect.

    Mineral foundation is an option because it makes the face glowy and look fresh. Just make sure that you moisturize your skin well before applying it on your skin. Mineral foundation sets really good on moisturizers or primers. The mositure on your face will make the foundation easier to blend and last a long time. It also doesn't dry up or clog the pores.

    Yeah, I agree. Also don't forget to remove your make-up at the end-of-the-day and use a proper pH balanced toner and moisturizer for dry skin. This routine will also help keep clogged pores to a minimum.

    Good luck!
