Answer 2

erase paste by benefit is really good, lasts forever too.  If you are oily though, you would definitely want a powder to put on beneath (thin layer) and on top of the concealer (thicker, still thin)

Answer 3

I suggest the Nutrogena or Avon brands, both can be found at most Longs or CVS. Generally they have a blemish-fighting salicylic acid base which doesn't cause too much oiliness.

Really, you have to test a few products(and remember to pay attention to their active ingredients) till you find a good balance. there are a couple ways to treat acne, but the main three are these; cleansing, toner, and antibacterial. Look at the proactive system, they use all three. Once you have a method that helps, just don't overdo it! More Oxy will make your skin first dry then oilier!

My last advise; look for a store with a beauty return pollicy. Rite-Aid's normaly pretty good for that.

Yep. I have very pale skin as well, and I use CoverGirl true blend (ivory). It's a good price and doesn't look oily. I get compliments on my skin all the time, and i have to assume people are looking at my face when they say that! Try it out.

Answer 5

i have oily skin sometimes too.

i use covergirl, comes in a tube u wind.

also make sure wen u apply make up u have clean hands, so as to not make ur skin dirty. :)

Answer 6

I would advise Mac Studio Finish Concealer.

It is oil free and comes in a wide range of shades so that you can choose one that is very close to your skin colour. I use this concealer and I find it looks virtually undetectable against my skin even before blending. It provides good coverage and does not reflect the light so is ideal for covering blemishes. In addition it provides sun protection - SPF 35 which is a bonus!

It comes in at £10 or $15.50 which I think is a reasonable price as it lasts a long time. I have used it for half a year, twice a week and have made a slight dent in it so I would imagine it would last well over a year possibly two years if used on a daily basis.

Any concealer in the Mac range is good but I find this is the best for troublesome blemishes.

If your skin is particularly oily I would recommend a mattifying skin base under skin such as Benefit dr feelgood £19.50 or $28.00. It is a 'colourless, weightless balm' which leaves skin looking matte and does not compromise the appearance of makeup, plus it promises to smooth out pores and other similar imperfections. If that is too expensive there is a mini version called dr feelgood mini (!) which is available at $10 on the US website.

Hope that helps! :)

Answer 7

the best brand to use is Beauty Controll my cousin sells that and it works great!!! They have all kinds of shin care products for acne, oily skin and everything else you can think of they have make up as well you can get on there wed page and find a seller near you

Answer 8

I would recommend napolean :)

But about the oilyness you should not only use a concealer but you should also invest in a powder. I used to have oily skin after I put on makeup but after using a powder over the top the oilness stopped

Good luck

Answer 9

MAC concealers are very good, always do the job for me :)

Answer 10

Age perfect makeup by L'oreal. I love it, it goes on nicley and doesnt look greasy. It covers up everything, it's truly the best concealer out there.
