Acne prone skin -Best foundation/concealer

[tigerbear]

Hi all
I've always had spot prone skin but currently suffering with proper full on breakouts - lumpy, red under the skin spots, as well as dark marks from old spots.
Due to my job being very client facing (and in image based industry), there's no way I can go makeup free for meetings.

Desperate for makeup that doesn't exacerbate the breakouts more!
I've tried Dermablend but find it too heavy, Lily Lolo is quite good but a bit dry and chalky, and Bare Minerals goes shiny.

I've been investigating Susan Posnick and Jane Iredale - anyone tried those or recommend others? I've heard good things about Tarte water foundation - anyone know if they do samples, as difficult to decide shades online.

Coverage wise, I found Mac Pro-long wear to be the best when I had a breakout of adult acne a few years back. Have heard good things about Estée Lauder double wear as well.

Have you tried a green concealer? I used to use one on my spots before putting on foundation to neutralise redness and it was great

Any light oil free foundation then Rimmel concealer on top - dab the 4 hour Clearasil treatment on before anything so it starts working on the spots.

I have acne rosacea and oxygenetix foundation has caught my eye. Waiting on a shade sample coming plus it will give me a chance to wear for a day and see how it lasts.

Ester Lauder double wear. They also do a camouflage make up - I tried a sample, it’s amazing, I use it as concealer.

Revlon colorstay had great coverage and contains salicylic acid which helps with acne

Ooh, some interesting options here, thanks all!

Maybelline superstau foundation is fantastic. Great coverage and stays put.

Double wear is brilliant for my oily, acne prone skin. Am also using a Ren glycol face mask twice a week which is making a huge difference - any spots I get now just seem to whither up and disappear!

Lancôme 24 hour ultra wear. I swear by it, it also doesn't break me out providing I keep the brushes clean
