Don't know what makeup to use?

Question

ok,

i'm going to buy some new makeup for going back to school, and i really need a new foundation but i don't know what to use so here's the deal:

i have blemishes (the red kind)

oily skin

i need med. to max. coverage

i want it to look natural not fake

and one that's mineral based would be great!

i ONLY buy drugstore brands (cover girl, revlon etc)

do not reccomend bare minerals i tried it and its not worth the $

thanks!

Answer 1

If you have oily skin, you want to apply less makeup rather than a heavy coat. I would recommend Revlon's Color Stay Mineral Foundation, the one formulated for Combination/Oily skin.

I am sure you already wash your face twice a day to help with the acne but if you don't, then start. Clean and Clear's Foaming Facial Cleanser with Salicylic Acid is a good start.

Answer 2

It's not drugstore but it's the best I use.  dermablend.

Answer 3

Answer 4

Anything Cover Girl! I really like the Tru Blend Foundation, although you might wanna use a concealer with it. It looks very natural. Also, DO NOT use Loreale' Bare Naturale! It does not stay on even with finishing powder. Also, if you have one in your area, go to ULTA, they have every brand of makeup there, and maybe you can ask a saleslady to help you out!

Answer 5

i used to wear the cover girl aqua smoothers with the L'oreal true match powder it covers anything. And leaves you look fresh

Answer 6

I recommend CoverGirl - AquaSmooth. I also have reddish, uneven skin on the face. I just use a tad bit and it covers it up really good. It goes from cream to powder when you apply it. It blends evenly and smoothly. It does not look caked up or fake. It's an all around great product.  

Answer 7

max factor foundations are great. mite be expensive but they make u look natural and blend into ur skin well.
