Bua ne makeup pe lecture diya! 😭 Cystic acne hide karne ka budget hack batao pls! 🫣

Ugh yaar. Today my bua visited and first thing she said "chehre pe itna acne hai toh makeup kyun lagati ho? Aur bhi kharab hota hai." Like seriously?? Kya karun main without makeup? College jaana hai, ghar se bahar nikalna hai. Without filter toh main khud ko mirror mein nahi dekh sakti. 😭

Anyway. I've been trying to find good makeup that actually covers these cystic bumps without making them angrier. Tried that Maybelline Fit Me foundation but it just settles into the texture and looks cakey within 2 hours. Plus it feels heavy and I'm scared it'll clog pores more.

I saw some influencers recommend green color corrector for redness but honestly mujhe samajh nahi aata konse brand ka lu. Also primer use karu ya nahi? Koi setting spray bhi suggest karo jo acne prone skin pe safe ho.

And don't even get me started on pimple patches - I bought those star shaped ones from Nykaa for fun but they don't stick on cystic bumps properly lol. Waste of money.

Any bhai log/bhen log jo cystic acne hide karte ho regularly, please share your routine. Preferably affordable products under 500-600 rs. School/college budget hai 😅 And pls no "acne ko naturally theek karo" advice - already heard that 100 times from my relatives.
