I need help from my makeup girlies

New to Lemon8!

OK, so long story short I never really had a mom growing up so I never had anyone teach me anything about facial care or make up. I’m hoping that I can reach out to my fellow girls and get some help in advice please! Can someone please help me figure out how to get rid of these deep acne scars that I have on my face! Like what’s the best product? Also, if somebody can give me like a breakdown of instructions on how to properly put on make up. Every time I put on make up, I use foundation some blush and some banana powder. And it makes my face look worse my acne scars show more. It doesn’t look smooth. It looks like crap it really does.! And I’ve seen all these girls do different stuff when it comes to what to start with first and what to finish with last. If someone can help me and give me instructions on doing that and how to contour and how I can layer my make up I’m not even sure what that is but yeah. I don’t know what anything is used for pretty much I just wanna be able to put my make up on and I want to see a huge difference. I would love for it to look flawless and not be able to see my scars and it looks smooth. I just really want to feel good about myself again. Sorry for the long post. But if someone could please give me instructions on how you are supposed to properly put on make up and how to layer it, and pretty much what everything‘s used for like concealer or what baking is. I’m so clueless and it’s horrible. And if anyone has any advice on how to get rid of old acne, deep scars and hide pores

please . FYI, I’m using my talk to text so stuff might come out a little jumbled. Thank you for reading. This is my first post on here and I’m really hoping to get good results. Thank you !

... Read moreDealing with acne scars can be challenging, and many people seek solutions for both skincare and makeup application. To effectively manage deep scars, consider starting with products designed for scar treatment, such as silicone gels or serums containing ingredients like hyaluronic acid or retinoids. These can gradually improve skin texture and appearance. For makeup application, it’s essential to begin with a clean, moisturized face. A primer can help create a smooth base and minimize the appearance of scars. When applying foundation, opt for a non-comedogenic, buildable formula that allows for custom coverage. Use a damp makeup sponge or brush to blend seamlessly into the skin for a more natural finish. Concealers can work wonders for specific areas, particularly when paired with a setting powder to lock in place. Techniques such as 'baking' can also help ensure that makeup stays in place and looks flawless throughout the day. Contouring can enhance your features but should be done softly to avoid drawing attention to scars. Lastly, always finish with a setting spray to keep everything in check. Explore videos and tutorials online for a visual guide, as seeing techniques in action can make them easier to understand and replicate. Don’t hesitate to ask the community for personalized product recommendations or step-by-step guidance specific to your skin type and concerns!
