If you really want to know how to cover up acne scars, that means you probably are not interested in waiting for an acne scar cure to finally begin working. Even if you are planning on a serious treatment such as a laser surgery program that is performed by a licensed dermatologist, it is still good to know how to cover up those acne scars in the meantime, so that you can have the confidence that you should in your daily life and social interactions.

The key here is not to use a certain brand of foundation, as any major makeup company will have a wide array of pretty high quality products. Instead, it is most important to ensure that the foundation itself matches your skin tone well. It may sound like an obvious tip, but you would be surprised how many people try to cover up acne scars with foundation, only to walk around with multiple skin tones on their face because they didn’t find the right tone of foundation. Make sure you apply your foundation in a well-lit room, as foundation that appears to work well for your face in a dimly-lit room may not hold up to a bright, sunny day outside. Also, avoid the urge to “cake on” your makeup, which will only replace one problem (acne scars) with another.
