Answer 1

if you have,             you want,                                look for

(look below),         (look below),                      (look below)

oily skin,                to minimize shine,                       mattifying

dry spots,                to get a dewy glow,                luminizing

bad acne,           to keep pores clear,            noncomedogenic

red skin,               to soothe irritation,                mineral-based

why you need it

- it gives you skin a natural glow

-it creates a blank canvas so your other makeup looks better

-it helps blush and bronzer cling to your skin, making them last a lot longer

how to pick one

-----------------------------  

the best way to find your match is to try it on

-if youre at a drug store) find a brand with testers or color swatches that you can hold to your cheek like loreal paris and cover girl true blend, check near natural light to see the truest color

-at a department store)talk to the makeup experts at the makeup counter, theyll help you find your exact shade

If you CANT test (dont worry!)

-try a tinted moisturizer, like neutrogena healthy skin enchancer, if give a subtle glow

-pick a foundation with two shades in one,like revlon custom creations-it lets you adjust the color to suit your skin

-use a color-adapting formula, like max factor color genius. it reacts to your skin so you cant get the wrong color

use when you want       try a richer formula       pick a thicker  

a subtle glow               to smooth an uneven    foundation to mask a

                                       skin tone                    breakout

try:wet n wild             try:covergirl                   try:max factor

ultimate sheer             true blend                 color genius foundation

tinted moisturizer      liguad makeup              with minerals in ivory

in natural,4$             in classic beige             10$ at wal-mart stores

at drugstores            6$ drugstores

ALL Of THIS IS IN FAIR: because you said your skin is light and pale!

foundation with a yellowy undertone will counteract  the pinkness in your skin!

here are a few expert tricks:

use a PRIMER under your base to brighten your skin and minimize pores sally hansen luminizing face primer 10$ drugstores

-SPONGE: will make foundation look invisible on your skin! try:beauty blender 20$ beautyblender.net or just try a regular sponge at drugstores

- BRUSH: it gets into hard to reach places like around your nose and keeps the acne causing oils and bacteria on your hands and off your face!

Hope this helped! Sorry it was so long good luck finding the perfect foundation!

Answer 2

Try puritycosmetics.co.uk. It is really good!

Answer 3

its kinda hard to determine what would be best for you on-line.

but when trying new make-up test the color on your next making it for easier blend. besides MAC is best

its horrible when people wearing make-up have a distinctive line around their jaw

Answer 4

AVON Soft Matte Mousse Make Up

in either nude or ivory shades.

cheap but works brilliantly, so light you can hardly feel it but it really makes you look radiant!

Answer 5

the best is Aalmay it is actually good for your skin and gets rid of blemishes

Answer 6

I recommend Bare Minerals. There are so many different shades, the coverage is remarkable, it is SOOOO lightweight and HEALTHY for your skin! I believe the bigger size foundation is $25 dollars for about a 1-2 month supply, depending on how much you use it could last longer. It is totally worth it, and plus, you are supposed to splurge on foundation and save on other things like mascara and lip gloss.

If you really don't want Bare minerals, then at least try some form of mineral make up.

Answer 7

try and go with the your same skin tone, maybe a bit darker. covergirl will probably work :)

Answer 8

mud does the trick

Answer 9

Try Maybeline's Mineral Power.  It seems to work for me.
