Q: which is better for covering up acne/acne scars and is better for acne prone skin? i like the more expensive makeup, and other suggestions would be helpful
A: MAC hands down. For cover, it is truly the best. Bare Minerals is good for well, oily skin. But honestly, don't expect it to cover everything you hate. It does okay, but not awesome the way MAC does! Acne prone skin however should stay away from MAC as it clogs pores and could make existing acne worse. If you plan on going to the prom, use the MAC. One night, looks great! Wearing it all day, maybe the Bare Minerals jsut because it's less harsher on your skin. But the coverage is not going to be there.
