i have minor acne scars, but putting anything on them only makes them more visible. i also have red spots though, which doesn't look very good either. how can i apply my makeup so my face looks like it has a smooth surface?

Just use Bare Minerals, it covers up blemishes, acne, uneven skin tone, scars, I could just go on forever. I have that same problem and it helps. It's so pure that you can even sleep in it. My point is, just try it trust me you'll love it!!!
