Foundation/Concealer/ Primer help please. Oily Acne prone skin with bad scaring

Hey everyone! I’m new to this sub (and to reddit) I found out about this sub a few weeks ago and I have been trying to get up the nerve to post something. I was looking for some foundation, concealer and primer advice. I have really bad acne scars and hyperpigmentation. Some are reddish-purple others are brownish. I also have new breakouts. The worst thing of all are the pits, I have bad ice pick scars on both cheeks and they always show

Skin tone: I think I have warm undertones but I have such a hard time finding foundation. I might have an olive undertone? I’m a little confused about how to find my undertone. Right now I have dermablend in Golden Beige but I thinks its a little to dark for me now that it’s winter. Skin type: I have very oily skin. My makeup slides right off my nose no matter what primer I use. My skin can get dry though sometimes my acne medication dries it out Budget: My current foundation is about 40 dollars and I thinks thats as high as I’m willing to go I would prefer some cheaper suggested so I can play around but I’m so desperate I’ll try anything. Experience: I have been using makeup for years but I feel like I have been doing it all wrong

Foundation Recently I have been using Dermablend Creme for foundation but I’m not sure how I feel about this any more. I don’t really like the way it feels on my skin After looking on this sub I decided to try Maybelline fit me matte but I was so disappointed in the coverage it did nothing for me I have also used Loreal True Match in the past I might try it again. Does anyone with acne have good experiences with this? I used the Tarte foundation on the oily skin HG list and it caused a major breakout

Concealer L.A girl pro but I was disappointed in the coverage I tried cover-fx and thought it was okay

Primer Benefit poreless- I don’t think it makes too much of a difference, my makeup still comes off my nose and you can see the ice pick marks Hourglass- same as benefit Too Faced Hangover- did not work at all Becca- I hated the way it felt and I didn't think it did much for me Smashbox original- allergic :-( major breakout after using

Color Correctors I tried L.a girl pro but I think their orange is way to scarlet for my skin tone it didn't look right at all.

I have heard good things about cover fx foundation and CC cream but they are really expensive and I don’t know how they are for oily skin. Does anyone have experience with that brand? I would really appreciate any product tips you guys could give for foundations, concealers, primers and color correctors Thank you for your time.
