I bought this because I have severe acne around my face line. It has great coverage! It may depend on the shade, but the "1277" that I bought after being recommended it at the counter has a moderate orange tint that helps hide red acne. However, it only lasts as long as a regular concealer. If I wear a mask, it will come off quite a bit by the afternoon. Personally, I think it's best to first cover the acne with a Nars concealer, then layer another concealer that lasts longer on top.
