I have been searching through the various makeup threads and haven't found anything to exactly match my question, so here goes...

I have a lot of acne scarring, plus now those brown age/pregnancy spots, diminshed breakouts (I mean, from when I was younger, but my skin does still break out), and dry patches. I need a makeup with heavier coverage, but I'd really rather use a less toxic makeup. I tried Dermablend which covers very well (although it's not magic), but it's *so* heavy and thick and I couldn't get the setting powder right so it would rub off my face onto my clothes, kids, etc. I am not really a makeup-y, girly type person, and it felt a little funny putting on what felt like "that much makeup" every day.

I recently tried the raw minerals type makeup from Loreal that's available everywhere, and that pretty much does nothing and wears off my face in a very short period of time.

While I did find some information about covering red patches, brown spots, etc., I didn't really find very much about a good, less toxic option to cover scarring.

Does anybody have any recommendations?
