Make up that covers blemishes - help!

I have finally got rid of the spots, thanks to La Roche Posay products Grin. Fabulous stuff. But I've been left with blemishes on my skin (I'm very pale and every mark shows) and have realised that my foundation doesn't cover up all the marks. I use either Youngblood mineral foundation or No7 Stay Perfect foundation or Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum. I want to look natural and flawless - is this possible?

For blemishes I would recommend either MAC Studio Finish concealer or the Bobbi Brown face touch up stick. Both look very natural but have high coverage and stay in place well. Apply your foundation, then use a fine concealer brush to dot on the concealer in just the spots you need to cover. Gently pat with a finger to blend, then set with a sheer powder.

Lancome Concealer is fantastic, best concealer for dark circles and blemishes that I've used.

I conceal before foundation as it means I then need less foundation, lets my skin breathe more and looks less cakey/mask-like.

Any blemishes that still show through, I pat on over the top of foundation.

I had a patch of acne on my cheek a few years ago and the only thing that would cover is was Dermablend foundation, but used more as a concealer.

I'd be really wary about MAC foundation/concealer as it is known for causing breakouts due to its high pigment.

Thanks everyone. I've looked at all of these and chosen the Dermablend because it looks as if it will provide the coverage I need and there's a special offer on at this pharmacy.

Looking forward to flawless skin.
