If you have acne prone skin, especially if your acne 100% leaves a scar behind, you'll know how hard it is when it comes to putting on makeup. It's so difficult to cover and the redness still shows through even though you've out on N layers of foundation..
As you know, green cancels out red. However, green tinted primer has too little coverage to really cancel out anything, while green concealer is too much coverage that it looks unnatural. I've had the NYX concealer in a jar in green for almost 2 years now, and never really used it coz it's hard to blend to look natural since it's green after all.
However, I've just found a really good way to use it! Mix your green concealer with a tinted moisturiser such as a BB cream, and you'll get a green tinted BB cream. It covers your flaws while at the same time cancel out the redness on your skin, without being too unnatural. Take note though, the concealer should be a relatively thick consistency with medium to high coverage, and the BB cream should be a light liquidy consistency with medium coverage. That way you only need a tiny amount of product to erase your flaws. It's not going to 100% cover everything, but your face will look less red and your acne won't stand out as much. After which you can move on to spot concealing for better coverage :)
