Need a quick-fix for acne scars

[alysia56]

So I understand that there is already a thread related to scars, but most of that has to do with healing and finding a permanent solution, which I know is a very time-consuming process. That's not what I'm looking for, so please don't bump my post.

Basically, I have indented ice-pick scars from years of using the wrong treatment(s). I won't go into that now, as it would get a bit preachy, but I was wondering if there is a way to fill them on a one-time basis. Specifically, I was looking at Dermacolor (by Kryolan) Skin Plastic, but I can't find any reviews and DON'T want to spend a lot of money if there is something I can do at home.

Also, please note that I don't need to conceal. I have no problems with discoloration that I can't fix on my own. I really, honestly, just need a way to "fill in" the indentations on my face for a special occasion. The other, more expensive and more involved processes will come later in life.

Sounds like you need a primer to fill in some of your indented scars, try to find a primer with silicone in it to make make your indents fuller like Giorgio Armani's Master Fluid Primer, it will fill in the indentations a bit and also smooth out the skin, but its not perfect. Also a good foundation and powder is very important as well.

Thanks. I've tried my Smashbox primer, and while it's good for smoothing over the pores, it doesn't help much with the larger indentations. I read somewhere that using a blob pore minimizer or Monistat Anti-Chafing gel (just enough to fill in the "hole") works too. Unfortunately I didn't have either of THOSE things lying around, either. Maybe I will try gooping up the primer a bit to see if that could help.

BTW...here are a couple photos to help get across what I'm talking about. The worst areas are my cheeks...close to my nose...which just happens to be the VERY FRONT OF MY FACE AND THE FIRST THING THAT ANYONE SEES THEN LOOKING AT ME. Which is just part of the reason I want to it.
