I have terrible acne on my chin and hate it, as well as scars, on my cheek area too is scarred. I will buy any amount of money on a good concealer. Please recommend me something that is fairly natural effect too!

Fellow acne sufferer and makeup hoarder here.

I've found that on acne it's best to use a solid or cream concealer, rather than a liquid. It's easier to build up the required coverage.

Some good ones in particular are the Nars Soft Matte Complete concealer that comes in a pot, and the MAC Studio Finish concealer that comes in a pot. I also like the By Terry Click Expert one but I think they've recently discontinued it.

I second the MAC studio finish concealer (in a pot!) one. Best concealer I've ever tried and I've tried a lot! I'm loyal to this one now and have been for years as it's so much better than all the others.

I agree with the Too Faced Born this way reccomendation. I use the Matte version and have similar sounding skin to you. It's about £35 a bottle. Make sure you get properly colour matched though. When I'm not as flush I get the No.7 Beautifully Matte which is really good for a 'budget' brand as well, £15 a bottle.
