If you're scrolling through these tutorials thinking, "My acne is so much worse than these girls'," check out the masterful handiwork of YouTuber Elaine Mokk.

Mokk developed a case of disfiguring cystic acne from going on hormonal birth control while taking Accutane (don't freak, this type of side effect is rare). But her incredible tutorial shows the best products and techniques for concealing extreme cases like hers. The steps are surprisingly simple, and the results impressive.

This tutorial was filmed in 2013, and Mokk's skin has since cleared up considerably, but the video (which now has over 17 million views) still helps many acne sufferers.

YouTuber and model Cassandra Bankson is one of the Internet's most trusted go-to girls for all-things acne education. (Her most popular acne coverage tutorial has over 27 million views).

But we happen to love this foundation tutorial, which is geared toward women looking to fill and color correct pitted scars and large pores. Her primary technique is to warm up a bit of Dermablend Cover Creme, $38, with your fingers and then use it as a concealer to camouflage and fill any dips in the skin. (The tutorial starts at 2:10).

Anyone who has ever suffered from acne knows the solution is not as simple as dabbing on a little concealer. It can take months, even years, to find the best routine for your acne, along with products that help perfectly conceal your blemishes and scars without looking like you caked on the entire foundation section at Sephora.

Trust us, we understand the struggle. That's why we scoured through hundreds of acne coverage tutorials on YouTube to find the 10 beauty bloggers who know acne best. (What did we do before YouTube, right?) These expert beauty gurus and makeup artists know the right products and techniques for concealing pimples and cysts, smoothing out skin texture, correcting hyperpigmentation and redness -- all with the power of makeup.

Sound too good to be true? Look no further for the best acne coverage makeup tutorials YouTube has to offer -- for every type of acne and every budget.
