If you have acne prone skin, a heavy foundation may not help that situation. Here's what you need to do..before make-up..
find a Gentle exfoliator to help get rid of some of the dead skin which helps make your skin look like it's really dry. I really like Loreal Paris, they aren't high end, but I find that they get the job done. Next, find a moisture mask, like one of the ones that come in the plastic packages like are about $2 from London Drugs, they really work. Next, a lightweight moisturizer, one that does not clog pores. Again, I like Loreal Paris for this, HydraFresh Moisturiser for normal-dry skin.
For the make-up, use a med-coverage foundation. After you apply the foundation, leave it for about 10 min before you put concealer on because your face may still be a little red when you put it on and you may not need to cover all the area that you think is red. Do NOT use a powder foundation. I like Feel Naturale foundation or True Match from Loreal Paris, and you can easily find a matching concealer as well.
You don't necessarily need a high-end brand, but I would stay away from Smashbox, their products aren't that terrific.
