Acne sufferer praises Makeup Revolution’s £9 Conceal and Define foundation for camouflaging cystic spots and redness

WHEN it comes to covering up cystic acne, most of us are willing to do (and spend) whatever it takes to conceal the angry break outs.

However, one acne sufferer is now singing the praises of a super affordable formula which promises to cover up stubborn spots without looking cakey.

In other words, Makeup Revolution’s £9 Conceal and Define Foundation has achieved “Holy Grail” status in the beauty world.

Skin positivity blogger Abbie Bull first raved about the affordable high coverage formula on Instagram earlier this year.

Sharing incredible before-and-after photos with her 37,000 followers, the mum revealed how this foundation covered up her cystic spots and acne in no time.

Abbie revealed that her flawless base was just “Makeup Revolution Foundation and their banana powder.”

And not only did this “super affordable” base product even out her skin tone, it also left Abbie with a seriously glowing complexion. Sold.

In a recent video on her YouTube channel Makeup By Abbie B, the mum explained how she first started suffering from severe breakouts when she was just 15 years old.

Abbie’s cystic acne even led to her skipping meals because “eating hurt that much” while the spots often made her skin “too sore” to apply makeup at all.

But although the mum is an expert at covering up her spots (and previously raved about Huda Beauty’s £32 foundation), she reminded followers not to “always believe what you see” on Instagram.

She added: “If I wanted to I could never post pictures on my acne, Facetune my pictures no end and you guys wouldn’t know the difference.

“Learn to love yourself outside of social media, not just loving the edited version of yourself.”

For more skin saviours, acne sufferers have claimed this “miracle in a bottle” serum cleared their skin – and it’s got tons of five-star reviews on Amazon.

Plus this £13 French face cream has been dubbed the “Holy Grail” of moisturisers by fans who claim it has transformed their skin.

And acne sufferers have praised Nip + Fab’s £4 foaming cleanser as a “miracle in a bottle” for getting rid of stubborn spots.
