I have acne scars on my cheeks and I have trouble hiding them. It feels as though no matter how much make up I put on, you can still see them.
Right now I'm using Mac Studio Fix Fluid and at first I thought it was the greatest thing. Now I only find it feeling very heavy/cakey and it doesn't last through the day.

I have extremely clear skin , but the Revlon Colorstay Whipped is medium to build-able coverage.. I love it!

Try Estée Lauder's Doublewear, it's the best coverage foundation I've used, and I'm not being biased by saying that but my mum works for Estée Lauder and sells bottles of the stuff daily, she gets a lot of girls go in asking for a foundation for acne scars especially and it's the only thing she'd recommend, I wear it every day and my skins never looked more flawless with any other foundation. x

Thanks guys :) I've heard a lot about both Revlon Colorstay and Estee Lauder's Doublewear. I've really been thinking about getting Estee Lauder's Doublewear. Thanks again!

Have you tried the MAC studio fix powder? I use it and it's so good, it gives you the coverage of the liquid one but also acts as a powder so it's much lighter and doesn't leave that heavy , oily feeling like a liquid. I recommend you try it because it has truly revolutionised my confidence :)

You can try moisturizing with unrefined coconut oil every night. It has helped to fade my acne scars quite a bit. Otherwise you can try Bio-oil, it's pretty expensive but it works.

@maddie Yeah I think I'll try it out :)
@lauren No I haven't, I've never really been a fan of powder foundation though and to be honest I don't think I'll be using any MAC products anytime soon again haha but thanks for the suggestion!
@amber Has it really? I used to use Bio-oil but I'm too impatient lol and you have to wait a good amount of time to see results.

I agree, Estée Lauder Double Wear will cover up everything. It's oil free which is great for acne prone skin and lasts the whole day. Definitely recommended.

I second Amber- coconut oil is great at fading acne scars and it makes your skin so soft!
