Which foundation is right for me?

Question

I have combination skin with large, visible pores, especially on my nose. Sometimes I get red, inflamed acne on my forehead. What foundation would work for me? Please be specific with brands/formulations (powder, liquid, etc.) I'm looking for something that won't end up looking cakey but still has a good amount of coverage. Thanks!

Answer 1

ok im kinda like u, i dont like using foundation cuz later on in the day my face would get really oily and would look shiny....

i use maybelline matte mouse, u apply it with a sponge and spread it all over ur face its really light and covers up almost everything !!

and the second product i use is loreal mineral loose powder its so amazing!! up put it on the brush and spread it all over ur face its covers everything! and i mean it!! and really easy to apply and remove...these are my fav. products..definately must haves!! :D hope this helped!

COVER YOUR ZITS

your problem:

red & swollen/inflamed acne

your cover-up: you'll want a heavy concealer a shade lighter than your skin. choose one that has soothing ingredients, like chamomile and aloe to calm the swelling/inflammation.
