Help me hide my acne!

I never used to use concealer (because I don't like to spend a long time putting on makeup), but my pregnancy acne is OUT of control. We're having family pictures taken in a couple weeks and I want my face to look normal! What kind of concealer do you guys recommend? What brands do you like/dislike?

  • I like Vincent Longo Creme Concealer or this NYX concealer. Or if you want a great full-coverage foundation, my favorite is Laura Mercier Silk Creme. Nothing like a good full-coverage foundation to minimize the need for concealer.

  • If your acne is red/irritated, try a green concealer. It neutralizes the redness.
  • Following... Teenage acne at 28. Ugh.
  • Thanks guys!

  • I started getting crazy deep cystic acne. The redness is pretty bad and if i put makeup over it, it looks purple. So I use a green concealer and then apply foundation afterwards. I use the L'OREAL Magic Anti-Redness Correcting Primer and then I use MAC's Studio Fix Fluid. The Studio Fix Fluid provides a lot of coverage for me. I also bought one of those Clarasonic facial brushes. I use it in the morning and at night. I can't really tell if it's working yet. I've only been using it for a couple of weeks now. I'm thinking that it wont and I'll just have to wait it out :(
  • I put 10% benzoyl peroxide cream on my face at night, my last OBYN said it was safe for preggos.  Works pretty well for getting rid of zits.

  • Go to Sephora and they can help you :)
  • Lancome "Double Wear" has been very good to me.
  • I've been continuing to clean my face with Clinique for combo skin. I cover up with Lancome Teint Idole. Works pretty well!


  • Anything by It Cosmetics. She's awesome.
  • Younique primer & foundation
  • I need a new foundation and concealer too. I was using Mac bb cream with SPF and Neutrogena concealer with salicylic acid. But I read certain ingredients in sunscreen and salicylic acid are bad for baby. Just using mineral makeup now, but it's not enough coverage. Trying to go as natural as I can with my products though.
