The struggle is real 😩. But it's nice to see someone (you) with actual acne scars make a video. So many of the RUclipsrs who give demonstrations have nearly perfect skin, and I think, "How am I supposed to know if this actually works or not when you don't have skin like mine?"
I knoooow! It's only until you get home after purchasing it that you try it on yourself and either go ok... I can make this work or :/ total flop. I wish I had more time to make videos! There are so many other foundations I want to try and share. Thank you for relating :)
I feel the same way! I tried to make a video too of how it would look on indentations on my channel.. everyone’s skin is different and there aren’t many RUclipsrs with indentations! Clinique beyond perfecting foundation has done wonders for my coverage!
Oh thank you for the kind words! I don't mean to worry anyone, I love beating myself up in a comedic sense. Trust that my self confidence is in space hahaha You probably already know, but you are a beautiful chicken!!! Bok bok ♥️
I think I could cry, just knowing I’m not alone. Thank you for having the guts to do this and for keeping it real. Much respect and love to you. And I agree that you are beautiful!!!
I’m hoping you and anyone else distressed by their textured skin is able to get some relief via TCA Cross, laser, professional skin peels, microneedling, and/or superficial filler injections into the depressions. I’ve seen people’s skin transformation considerably with these techniques. 🩷🤍🩷🤍🩷🤍
Girl, just came up on your video by accident. I’m 45 years old and have struggled with acne since I was about 13. Of course now I have the scars to deal with. Covering or concealing them never goes away. Your video is THE FIRST I’ve see that is done completely zoomed in, making it REAL!! You are awesome and your bravery to do this is beautiful!! You are gorgeous!! 😉❤️
Girl trust me n try this method. Step 1: use a silicon based primer something filling n concentrate on scars. Wait for 1 min n again take same amt of primer n concentrate on scars n massage on scars alone. By doing it 2 times it can help smooth surface Step 2: Use a full coverage cream foundation a liquid one spreads evenly while a cream can perfectly settle in the crators. Dab with fingers or with a cut porous🧽 sponge(cheap one.that has ups n downs tht can reach the crators) not a beauty blender. 1 min again dab product on scars. Doing twice makes smooth (building products) Step 3: Bake with powder on .. and just smoothen with a flat surface sponge. Tip:(1)Avoid anything shiny or shimery or catching light or dewy. Stay matte but not so matte and drying that it might exxagerate textures. (2)EVERY .. I mean every product used must be in your exact shade. Or scars areas n rest of face can look diff. (3)bring attention to lips like a gloss or overline.. All of these might not bring much difference for pretty deeply pitted scars. But doing these don't harm. I won't say love yourself ,tht is mandatory. Use chemical exfoliation, n niacinamide serum,retinols if both don't work. Also find hairstyles to hide that part of your face that makes u insecure as for me it's my right cheek.
thank you so much for this. when I look at other people having skin like this, my first thought is "hey! it doesn't even look that bad, why is she thinking it's gonna bother people" and then realize maybe it's the same with my skin too. maybe people don't even care that much about and I'm just making it a big deal in my head. thank you so much. I love this video💖💖
This was very sweet of you to say :) ❤️ thank you so much, what a great mind and perspective you have. You're right! We are too critical of ourselves, no one else cares as much as we do.
I have skin like this and I'm 42 so I just want to say, nothing ever works great for this kind of skin and that's why it's character building. I spent about $100 chemical peel when I was younger - all my skin hardened like rock and peeled off (causing many golf-ball sized cystic zits because this process REALLY clogs your pores), and when I finally healed from that - my scars came back in exactly the way they had been before my skin peeled off! Later, as an adult, I was sure that laser skin resurfacing by a dermatologist would be the ticket. I paid $500 for the procedure and again, same as the chemical peel - skin hardened and peeled, pores clogged, weeks of healing and guess what? Scars and pits of the healed skin looked exactly the same as they did before the procedure! Truly amazing. Here are the things that I've discovered actually improve the appearance of my oily, -very large-pored, pitted, ice-pick scarred skin (though NOTHING will really hide it or take it away, and we must make peace with that): 1. Steam facials followed by clay mask (Queen Helene mint julep mask or just bentonite clay) once a week. 2. Using a salicylic acid clear foaming cleanser and exfoliating with baking soda at night (though I have had to cut back on the exfoliation since becoming "older.") 3. Shine killer product is helpful but expensive. 4. Pore filling serums and primers have done absolutely nothing for me. 5. Obviously try to fill in the scars with foundation and cover with tons of powder even though it doesn't work great, go out and be seen, then hurry back home to wash it off before it starts to melt and slide off... 6. 2% benzoyl peroxide at night if you still have breakouts, but be sure to cut back if your skin starts peeling... 7. If you get little bits of peeled skin on your face, shave them off with one of those tiny eyebrow razors, this works awesome. These few things are the only things I've found that actually make any difference at all. They do not take away my scars, but I truly have gotten mostly used to it and can tell that people do not notice or mind it and that it doesn't detract from my looks as much as I used to think it did.
I’ve done the same ! But at Walmart they have a microneedling machine for maybe 30 bucks. And that’s the only thing that’s made my scars disappear I’ve done so many peels so many lasers and nothing worked until I took matters in my own hands. I still have scars but it’s not like they were before I hope it helps
Wish I could've demonstrated a holy Grail product! Hahaha high coverage seems to always come with some "pooling" but I've been wearing it with a primer, powder, and flower matte setting spray and have not been hating the way my face looks at the end of the day!
😌I Love this! "Sometimes acne chooses beautiful people"... I'm taking this & running with it & owning it & I hope y'all do the same! acne & scars definitely chose beautiful people.. God bless you all
For all those suffering with scars my favourite is NX pore filler which is flesh colour and does a great job to fill those scars been using it for years having tried lots of others.
You don’t look disgusting .you are beautiful .i have scars on my face too that I also dislike so I completely understand but you did all of us a favor and actually showed what skin really looks like when you and me and other people with our skin problem applies foundation and how it actually sits.finally someone real and not using the built in camera filters or keeping a distance from camera.thankyou luv💕
Honestly just forgo foundation altogether. I have similar issues and half my life I wore foundation in frustration, until finally I came to the realization that nothing would cover my scars. Not only that, but I looked worse with foundation. The best thing I ever did was stop wearing any. Just sunscreen and like you mentioned, a good translucent powder. Get a good vitamin c serum and exfoliate and retinol at night.
Yess me too ! Use nuetragena or w.e its spelled retinol night cream with vitamin c and the day time one as well .. you can get it without the vitamin c in it but it helps skin like this alot .. it's pricey but it's worth it .. I also use nuetragena face wash that gets your skin ready for retinol before the creams and it like makes my skin way better looking faster than just using the creams
Honestly same, now the only thing I do with my skin is to put Aloe creme before bed, sometimes I try to experiment something with it to see if it would somehow make a difference but nyet. Thinking of going to laser theraphy, but it’s just so expansive and I’m scared that it wouldn’t work on me
You are so beautiful 💕 I know exactly what it feels like to have acne scars. There is never a day that goes by when I don’t think about my scars and if people are judging me. It’s a tough battle.
I can totally relate. I've been having a hard time covering my acne marks. Still a makeup novice here. I really need makeup tutorials for skin like us. Thanks for uploading. ❤️
I’m 57 years old with cystic acne scars, stop talking like that, your so beautiful, your eyes, your freckles and did I mention you have perfect lips! My kids have good skin from their father and whether they had my scarred skin or not ACNE MARKS DO NOT DEFINE YOU, YOU DEFINE YOU! Stop being so hard on yourself, embrace yourself and love yourself! You are perfect just the way you are and I get it! Your fan, Stacey NYC
Thank god for you. I feel like others look amazing because of their lighting and setting their in. They look amazing even before they start their make up and it makes me feel like my skin is awful and I’ll never be as beautiful.
Lighting definitely has a lot to do with it, that's why I roll my eyes when they're like "omg this product sucks I know it looks good because if the camera but believe me". Like just turn your ring light off and show me it up close in the unforgiving light of the sun!!!!!
As an older lady (66) who had acne for years (left with scarring) I want to thank you for this vid. You are really helping anyone sho has been left with the results of chronic acne. You are an inspiration to younger people. Keep up the good work. 😊
My skin is very similar and I have spent I'm sure thousands on Dermatologist, treatments, products, make up etc. It has taken such a toll on my confidence. I feel your pain, but know you are not alone. I recently got microneedling done and it has helped some but have made some scars worse, I've been literally been praying for a miracle since I was 15 and I'm now 45. I refuse to give up hope. I know I'm beautiful regardless but having clear skin would be nice and one less thing to worry about.
Yo you’re being so hard on yourself, you’re seriously so pretty the skin is so minor from an outside perspective .. and I have large pitied scars as well with acne still, I hate my skin I tear up when I go to put makeup on but watching this I realized I’m the hardest and meanest to myself.. the way you’re talking about your skin and what your doing is the same way I talk to myself and it was so saddening to hear it actually spoken out loud by another beautiful woman ….also nobody in real life is ever this close to our face as our HD cameras, I hope you’re kinder to yourself ❤️ I know I’ve learned my attitude really does create my reality. thanks for the time and effort into this review. Side note retina or retinoids help ice picker scars and deep scaring takes about 3-6 moths to start seeing improvement but worth looking into I just started it, you can get retinoids at Ultas if you’d want to try it.
Thank you soooo much for trailblazing and showing the rest of us. I have scars too so I totally understand the feeling. You are so dang funny!!! OMG...I love it! I'd be interested to watch you apply the method of concealer (dabbing it versus rubbing it in) and then milk of magnesia over that...to see how it holds up and looks... super zoomed in. I got that idea from another You Tuber back from 2015 when she made a video doing just that, but the zoom wasn't as close as yours. That would be so neat to see. Her channel is "Mature beauty & Skin Care." Thank you again for your vid
Thanks for your video. We all struggle with different issues, acne scars, large pores,etc. Even after putting a lot of make-up, primers, concealer, foundation, etc we still can see our imperfection. I don't like putting too much on my face either. But as long as we feel good/better after putting on our make-up then we did our best. All beauties are not all from the outside anyway. Nice people will not just like you for just your looks but also for your heart. Keep smiling and be positive. 😊
Wow I didn’t expect to see my actual skin texture out here on RUclips. I honestly don’t consider my skin gross, so you don’t have to either. It’s like a bit rugged and that’s cool, it contrasts with our pretty features and makes us more interesting! The best I’ve found to do when I wanna look smooth is moisturise, loose powder, fixing spray, maybeline baby skin primer, maybe a bit more powder and then concealer or foundation, it is quite good def try it if you haven’t
Girlll I struggle with this same skin but only on my cheeks I don’t like wearing makeup on it because it looks cakey still I wish they create a product that actually fills them in for a smooth look 🇹🇹🏴😔
I have scars like you. I stopped using foundation because of the results. Similar to yours. I just use translucent powder and bronzer and blush. It does comoflauge better. So no longer trying to fill the scars in just distract. My skin is less oily now so that also is helping. Feel much confident.
Thank you for being so brave. Don't be so hard on yourself you are a beautiful woman. I have the same issues with my skin. You just have to find the right primer and makeup for you. God bless
I have been dealing with acne in my teens. Now I'm left with scars and make up just doesn't really cover. Add surgeries are just too expensive so you just deal with it. You just got to tell yourself you're beautiful no matter what
Refreshing vid. My cheeks are the same.. so annoying. Yes I’ve noticed when my face has no makeup on it looks the best. Definitely the foundation I use accentuates everything and no primer really works.
I feel like I relate to this video so much. I have so trouble putting make up on and making it look like all the other girls who do their make u soo well. I just have really deep acne scars all over my face and it’s just really hard to cover them up I’ve tried so many things and products. ultimately, I’ve just learned to love myself no matter what but on some occasions I do wanna glam up, but I have no idea how to go about it. I’ve tried so many foundations and watched a lot of RUclips tutorials on how to apply make up but nothing works or looks good. :/ I even tried Rihanna’s Fenty collection and I didn’t help. I still looked the same. I wish there was an easier way or better product for deep acne scaring. Just wanna look glamorous just once. Just once.
Go for phenol chemobrasion, see dr rullan in San Diego. This will take care of the tiny ice picks and texture. You can also do tca cross 30 percent at home with a tooth pick or tiny brush.
My skin is about the same.. cheeks and forhead scars. A few years ago I stopped using makeup bc I was just always frustrated with the results and it made me feel worse. I'm now just looking into makeups and skin routines again. I have been using aloe for my cheeks and it makes my skin a tad firmer and diminishes some oil during the day. Clearly everyone's different but I would suggest trying it? It makes me feel like there's been a tad of a difference in just evening out the dark spots and coloration.. all the love to you.. your beautiful and have a VERY nice complexion, I would let that show! Everyone's got blemishes.. I give you props for being the woman to let other woman know they are not alone! No woman should be flawless.. were not babies. Love❤❤❤
thank you ! I also have dented scar on my face, been trying to cover them up but it look powdery and bad so I just try to go about my life with the face that I have. I look at the grlies online and in real life experimenting and having fun with make up, and I feel a bit sad
Liked & subscribed because you keep it so real! A million thanks. 🙏🏻 As a fellow woman with scarring all the flawless skin advertisements/makeup clips make me feel hideous. It’s gotten to the point I avoid going out as much as possible.
I agree with you, this foundation cakes into ice pick scars. I’ve been liking CYO life proof, it doesn’t make me look *worse,* which is the whole point of makeup, right? ;) It also doesn’t give me pimples! Unfortunately it’s hard to find now. Soap & Glory Kick Ass is similar, but that one is hard to find now too! So I’m back to square one. Thanks for the video, there aren’t that many videos of people with real acne scars and close-up shots. The review was helpful and made me remember why I stopped using it.
Hi my skin is the same as yours, I use NYX pore filler after I’ve moisturised and applied primer I then dab my cheeks with translucent powder then I use Maybelline matte Fit Me no. 112 it is light but gives you a good coverage and being matte your scars don’t go away but they don’t look as bad. I’ve suffered most of my life trying to get as good a result as I can and this routine for me suits best, I found applying thick foundation seems to make everything worse. Good luck trying. (I’ve got a draw full of foundations from every make over the years has cost me a fortune)!
I have a scar face with rolling and pitted scars . I use silicone base primer and cream foundation I invest in the more expensive but budget friendly brands like Kat Von D it is cream base full coverage I apply using foam sponges from drug store and cut it so when I apply the foundation to the skin it fits in the holes and then use translucent powder. I have used most of drug store brand and it didn’t work for me . The scars are never full covered but gives the face a fresh clean look .. you are beautiful and thank you for this video ..
Thank you for posting this real video. I have watched many other RUclips video tutorials about how to cover acne scars and they usually don’t have the same type of scars. With covid I’ve been trying micro needling and tretinoin again. Not wearing makeup often. I definitely think micro needling helps but it will not give a “perfect” result. But if you decide to try it with realistic goals it can be promising. Any improvement is welcomed in my book. Ps trying to wear makeup all day while using tretinoin sucks! 🤦🏻♀️ Sorry for the long post. But again, I’m really grateful for you sharing this with us all. You’re beautiful 🥰♥️
This was my skin more so during the final stages of accutane! I've been using skincare that focuses on hydration to decrease the size of the pores, it helps but its a consistent effort. If you can afford it, go to a dermatologist for the scars. I haven't got the funds yet, but I'm pretty sure it's really worth it!
Truly, I thought it looked better before the make up because the nice coloring of the skin distracts from it. I know it’s so frustrating, but something that’s helped me is to only allow myself to look at it and be hard on myself for five minutes a day, and after that the rule is I can’t think about it!! Take care
Hey year late! But you have such a pretty face. My skin is exactly like yours and tbh seeing you really not giving af about what ppl think made me want to embrace my ice pick scars more. Our scars are part of us yk? It’s nice to see something real and natural.
You're a kind person to be bothered by my self insults! Thank you, I don't know why but I just have that middle school humor still where you bully yourself before other people do :p I am much more confident now than in years past! Thank you again for being so wonderful
Hi Sawah! We have the same acne scars in our face. I do have a big problem on how to conceal my acnes scars. But anyway, your the best. Your video is just a reality. Keep sharing.
Try stick foundation like hourglass...omg it's a hg product for acne scars....I have sample scars like u so thanks so much for posting it and try doing a review on that foundation for us 🥰
You have a beautiful personality, in that you are honest with yourself. I was very self conscious at one stage when I had an outburst of acne. Have you thought about dermabrasion & chemical peel?
It hurt my heart to hear you say you have gross skin.. there is nothing on you that's gross you are a beautiful young woman.. even with no makeup you are still absolutely stunning..
YES FINALLY THANK YOU, every time I've reapplied my Foundation I'm still not happy with it. And I love RUclips but none of them videos had really the close up let you do oh, by the end of it all of their acne scars just disappear but then it's like how? Because when I do mine they're still there
Omg I use that same shade but my skin got lighter with exfoliation. Superstay is THE best!!! Check out my review of Maybelline Babyskin primer, fit me powder, and dewy and smooth foundation ✨
Thanks, the only RUclipsr who zooms in and shows us how it actually looks
No problem, hope you're not crying in the club anymore.
@@ZeroSuitSarah it looks pretty weird now 😅
Lmao!!! Why did they change their name?? 😭 it was so great
I’m with you hun, I have exactly the same problem 😥

Please don't be so hard on yourself. You are beautiful, your face is beautiful, and so is your skin - even without makeup!!

Great video, thanks for your honesty. And you have really pretty eyes!
My skin is very similar and I have spent I'm sure thousands on Dermatologist, treatments, products, make up etc. It has taken such a toll on my confidence. I feel your pain, but know you are not alone. I recently got microneedling done and it has helped some but have made some scars worse, I've been literally been praying for a miracle since I was 15 and I'm now 45. I refuse to give up hope. I know I'm beautiful regardless but having clear skin would be nice and one less thing to worry about.
I hear you. Thank you for sharing your experiences with micro-needling.
I love your positivity!! I’m so happy I found your channel
I am eternally grateful for your positive response 🙏🙏🙏♥️
Yo you’re being so hard on yourself, you’re seriously so pretty the skin is so minor from an outside perspective .. and I have large pitied scars as well with acne still, I hate my skin I tear up when I go to put makeup on but watching this I realized I’m the hardest and meanest to myself.. the way you’re talking about your skin and what your doing is the same way I talk to myself and it was so saddening to hear it actually spoken out loud by another beautiful woman ….also nobody in real life is ever this close to our face as our HD cameras, I hope you’re kinder to yourself ❤️ I know I’ve learned my attitude really does create my reality. thanks for the time and effort into this review.
Side note retina or retinoids help ice picker scars and deep scaring takes about 3-6 moths to start seeing improvement but worth looking into I just started it, you can get retinoids at Ultas if you’d want to try it.
Thank you soooo much for trailblazing and showing the rest of us. I have scars too so I totally understand the feeling. You are so dang funny!!! OMG...I love it! I'd be interested to watch you apply the method of concealer (dabbing it versus rubbing it in) and then milk of magnesia over that...to see how it holds up and looks... super zoomed in. I got that idea from another You Tuber back from 2015 when she made a video doing just that, but the zoom wasn't as close as yours. That would be so neat to see. Her channel is "Mature beauty & Skin Care." Thank you again for your vid
Thanks for your video. We all struggle with different issues, acne scars, large pores,etc. Even after putting a lot of make-up, primers, concealer, foundation, etc we still can see our imperfection. I don't like putting too much on my face either. But as long as we feel good/better after putting on our make-up then we did our best. All beauties are not all from the outside anyway. Nice people will not just like you for just your looks but also for your heart. Keep smiling and be positive. 😊
I love how real you made this 😭 ❤️ close up really helps!
We have the same exact face with acne scars. It is really hard to put makeup on it
Wow I didn’t expect to see my actual skin texture out here on RUclips. I honestly don’t consider my skin gross, so you don’t have to either. It’s like a bit rugged and that’s cool, it contrasts with our pretty features and makes us more interesting!
The best I’ve found to do when I wanna look smooth is moisturise, loose powder, fixing spray, maybeline baby skin primer, maybe a bit more powder and then concealer or foundation, it is quite good def try it if you haven’t
Girlll I struggle with this same skin but only on my cheeks I don’t like wearing makeup on it because it looks cakey still I wish they create a product that actually fills them in for a smooth look 🇹🇹🏴😔
I have scars like you. I stopped using foundation because of the results. Similar to yours. I just use translucent powder and bronzer and blush. It does comoflauge better. So no longer trying to fill the scars in just distract. My skin is less oily now so that also is helping. Feel much confident.
Thank you for being so brave. Don't be so hard on yourself you are a beautiful woman. I have the same issues with my skin. You just have to find the right primer and makeup for you. God bless
Can I find what primer you use on your skin?
Girls let’s love ourselves just like they are !!!!
Hell no.
@yazan yasen this is not a solution about your problem !!!!!!!
I have been dealing with acne in my teens. Now I'm left with scars and make up just doesn't really cover. Add surgeries are just too expensive so you just deal with it. You just got to tell yourself you're beautiful no matter what
Hey, Great video! absolutely loved this, so brave and honest. Keep up the hard work, you'll be big!
Absolutely love this video, so glad to know many other people go through this!
Refreshing vid. My cheeks are the same.. so annoying. Yes I’ve noticed when my face has no makeup on it looks the best. Definitely the foundation I use accentuates everything and no primer really works.
Real review and such a real personalityYou gave so much strength....
Nothing can be more beautiful than this❤️
I feel like I relate to this video so much. I have so trouble putting make up on and making it look like all the other girls who do their make u soo well. I just have really deep acne scars all over my face and it’s just really hard to cover them up I’ve tried so many things and products. ultimately, I’ve just learned to love myself no matter what but on some occasions I do wanna glam up, but I have no idea how to go about it. I’ve tried so many foundations and watched a lot of RUclips tutorials on how to apply make up but nothing works or looks good. :/ I even tried Rihanna’s Fenty collection and I didn’t help. I still looked the same. I wish there was an easier way or better product for deep acne scaring. Just wanna look glamorous just once. Just once.
I know it's been a year since you commented this but I just wanna say I can 100% relate to each & every word till the last!!
I totally relate too!
I have the same problem and it makes me self conscious 😢but we still beautiful ❤...thank u for sharing 😘
Go for phenol chemobrasion, see dr rullan in San Diego. This will take care of the tiny ice picks and texture. You can also do tca cross 30 percent at home with a tooth pick or tiny brush.
My skin is about the same.. cheeks and forhead scars. A few years ago I stopped using makeup bc I was just always frustrated with the results and it made me feel worse. I'm now just looking into makeups and skin routines again. I have been using aloe for my cheeks and it makes my skin a tad firmer and diminishes some oil during the day. Clearly everyone's different but I would suggest trying it? It makes me feel like there's been a tad of a difference in just evening out the dark spots and coloration.. all the love to you.. your beautiful and have a VERY nice complexion, I would let that show! Everyone's got blemishes.. I give you props for being the woman to let other woman know they are not alone! No woman should be flawless.. were not babies. Love❤❤❤
Thank you for representing what scarred skin actually looks like!!!
thank you ! I also have dented scar on my face, been trying to cover them up but it look powdery and bad so I just try to go about my life with the face that I have. I look at the grlies online and in real life experimenting and having fun with make up, and I feel a bit sad
Liked & subscribed because you keep it so real! A million thanks. 🙏🏻 As a fellow woman with scarring all the flawless skin advertisements/makeup clips make me feel hideous. It’s gotten to the point I avoid going out as much as possible.
Have u tried doing a chemical peel on ur face?
Can definitely help the scars. I’ve had same issue before with textured skin.
You can tell you actually have smooth skin . I don’t mind your skin what so ever ❤️ & you have amazing freckles
I agree with you, this foundation cakes into ice pick scars. I’ve been liking CYO life proof, it doesn’t make me look *worse,* which is the whole point of makeup, right? ;) It also doesn’t give me pimples! Unfortunately it’s hard to find now. Soap & Glory Kick Ass is similar, but that one is hard to find now too! So I’m back to square one. Thanks for the video, there aren’t that many videos of people with real acne scars and close-up shots. The review was helpful and made me remember why I stopped using it.
Wow the brown eyes.
more power to you girl..:)
Hi my skin is the same as yours, I use NYX pore filler after I’ve moisturised and applied primer I then dab my cheeks with translucent powder then I use Maybelline matte Fit Me no. 112 it is light but gives you a good coverage and being matte your scars don’t go away but they don’t look as bad. I’ve suffered most of my life trying to get as good a result as I can and this routine for me suits best, I found applying thick foundation seems to make everything worse. Good luck trying. (I’ve got a draw full of foundations from every make over the years has cost me a fortune)!
I have a scar face with rolling and pitted scars . I use silicone base primer and cream foundation I invest in the more expensive but budget friendly brands like Kat Von D it is cream base full coverage I apply using foam sponges from drug store and cut it so when I apply the foundation to the skin it fits in the holes and then use translucent powder. I have used most of drug store brand and it didn’t work for me . The scars are never full covered but gives the face a fresh clean look .. you are beautiful and thank you for this video ..
Finally someone with skin like me. Thanks a million - Instant subscriber ❤
Your eyes are gorgeous!
Thank you for posting this real video. I have watched many other RUclips video tutorials about how to cover acne scars and they usually don’t have the same type of scars. With covid I’ve been trying micro needling and tretinoin again. Not wearing makeup often. I definitely think micro needling helps but it will not give a “perfect” result. But if you decide to try it with realistic goals it can be promising. Any improvement is welcomed in my book. Ps trying to wear makeup all day while using tretinoin sucks! 🤦🏻♀️
Sorry for the long post. But again, I’m really grateful for you sharing this with us all. You’re beautiful 🥰♥️
Exactly what I need, thank you so so so much
My skin is like yours. You are so pretty. What gorgeous brown eyes.
This is actually what i was looking for. Most videos show how to hide pigmentation
Thank you SO much for this video. I have ice pick scars on my cheeks from cystic acne (which I had in my 20s ugh) and this helped a ton.
Bless you! And you should get a brand deal! There are so many folk that have box and ice pick scarring
Thanks for teaching us how to hide acne scars using makeup..
This was my skin more so during the final stages of accutane! I've been using skincare that focuses on hydration to decrease the size of the pores, it helps but its a consistent effort. If you can afford it, go to a dermatologist for the scars. I haven't got the funds yet, but I'm pretty sure it's really worth it!
Man those pills saved me and my sis. Before I went thorugh theraphy I wasn’t able to even look at myself in the mirror for 4 yrs straight.
Your skin is not gross its beautiful okay!!❤ no one is perfect!
I find my dog's hair on my face too 😝 i have ice pick scars i understand you its very difficult to cover them i do the same thing with the make up
I love every pet owner coming together about their shared experiences :') even more so the relatable and frustrating experience of makeup w/ scars!!
Hi have same ice pick scars😢
More power to you ♥️ You’re beautiful 😍 thank you for this, was much needed 🙏🏼
Please upload lots of foundation reviews. Thank
You are absolutely adorable! Love your freckles too! I totally relate to you, and now I know how to apply! Xoxo Stacey NY
I saw one with patting powder before everything besides primer and moisturizer.I tried it and it worked.I have these too.
Appreciate your real ness thank you ❤️
Truly, I thought it looked better before the make up because the nice coloring of the skin distracts from it. I know it’s so frustrating, but something that’s helped me is to only allow myself to look at it and be hard on myself for five minutes a day, and after that the rule is I can’t think about it!! Take care
Hey year late! But you have such a pretty face. My skin is exactly like yours and tbh seeing you really not giving af about what ppl think made me want to embrace my ice pick scars more. Our scars are part of us yk? It’s nice to see something real and natural.
same skin issue 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 i glad you did this video 👏🏻 so real
I love your honesty ❤️
it bothered me the amount of times you called your skin disgusting. I think your extremely confident for uploading this.
You're a kind person to be bothered by my self insults! Thank you, I don't know why but I just have that middle school humor still where you bully yourself before other people do :p I am much more confident now than in years past! Thank you again for being so wonderful
I learned with scars like these and pitted scars like mine. Liquid makeup is a big no. It emphasize them way more.
I only use powder
Girl we gonna be gross together. My skin is the same way. Thanks for being real and honest.
you miss, are the realest! and I respect you for that. sending ❤️ from Malaysia
Hi Sawah! We have the same acne scars in our face. I do have a big problem on how to conceal my acnes scars. But anyway, your the best. Your video is just a reality. Keep sharing.
Try stick foundation like hourglass...omg it's a hg product for acne scars....I have sample scars like u so thanks so much for posting it and try doing a review on that foundation for us 🥰
Omg your eyes is so pretty 😭😭❤
Thank you for making this video❤️
You have a beautiful personality, in that you are honest with yourself. I was very self conscious at one stage when I had an outburst of acne. Have you thought about dermabrasion & chemical peel?
It hurt my heart to hear you say you have gross skin.. there is nothing on you that's gross you are a beautiful young woman.. even with no makeup you are still absolutely stunning..
Try Bare Minerals -- it's a powder so never looks cakey or overdone.
I can feel you....🥺... because im going through the same thing ...🥺
Its rlly nice to know, as a teen, people are going through the same thing as me
YES FINALLY THANK YOU, every time I've reapplied my Foundation I'm still not happy with it. And I love RUclips but none of them videos had really the close up let you do oh, by the end of it all of their acne scars just disappear but then it's like how? Because when I do mine they're still there
use color corrector. i still see the bumps and lil holes but it works to cover the redness
Omg I use that same shade but my skin got lighter with exfoliation. Superstay is THE best!!! Check out my review of Maybelline Babyskin primer, fit me powder, and dewy and smooth foundation ✨
I love you already ♡
Thanks for this video !
I have the exact skin problem.....i keep reapplying powder throughout the day.
I have worser acne scars.
I totally feel you. :(
ur face is really pretty
You should try Pore Professional by Benefit. It really helps.
