Foundation With Concealer
“Obviously, makeup can't hide texture, but my redness and scaring pigmentation are pretty much gone when using this foundation. That being said, you need to have a light hand with it”
Concealers For Highlighting

“It does a really great job of hiding my dark circles, it doesn't crease as long as you set it, the texture is great to use with any tool, and it layers excellently if the color correcting didn't brighten enough”
