After applying moisturizer (Hamoud uses Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream, $100), apply a mattifying primer like Make Up For Ever Step 1 Skin Equalizer, $37, to "create a shield" over the acne. Then, Hamoud relies on a makeup pro trick to camouflage redness: She pulls out the green stuff. Because green counteracts redness, tapping a product like Becca Backlight Targeted Colour Corrector, $30, in Pistachio over acne makes the red spots blend seamlessly into the skin under foundation. Blend the green with a damp BeautyBlender, pushing it into the skin.

Using a pea-sized drop of Make Up For Ever Mat Velvet + Foundation, $41, and Illamasqua Rich Liquid Foundation, $45, Hamoud spreads the mixture across the entire face with a brush, buffing and blending with a BeautyBlender as she goes.

This tip from Desi Perkins, whom we're dubbing the ULTIMATE acne camouflager, just might change your life. Perkins disguises raised acne (you know, the cystic, sticks-around-for-weeks, under-the-skin type) as beauty marks. GENIUS.

Full-coverage foundation does cover marks, but when applied with a heavy hand it can look like you're wearing a mask. YouTuber Raven Elyse fixes that by mixing two different full-coverage foundations with two primers to make them more blendable.

Super heavy makeup may hide the color of your acne, but it doesn't do much for the texture; in fact, it may make your acne more noticeable. YouTuber Carly Humbert keeps her acne coverage looking cake-free with a setting spray. Her choice is NYX Matte Finish Makeup Setting Spray, $7.99.
