Student and beauty vlogger Rose Kimberly offers must-try advice for evening out skin texture and tone. Her tips are perfectly suited to darker complected ladies with combo-oily skin.
If you're scrolling through these tutorials thinking, "My acne is so much worse than these girls'," check out the masterful handiwork of YouTuber Elaine Mokk.
Mokk developed a case of disfiguring cystic acne from going on hormonal birth control while taking Accutane (don't freak, this type of side effect is rare). But her incredible tutorial shows the best products and techniques for concealing extreme cases like hers. The steps are surprisingly simple, and the results impressive.
This tutorial was filmed in 2013, and Mokk's skin has since cleared up considerably, but the video (which now has over 17 million views) still helps many acne sufferers.
