Hi so i am a 18 year old girl. I am so sick of foundation right now. if i had no acne scars or anything i wouldnt even wear it. im sick of wrong shades and oilyness and etc. i tried tons of drug store liquid foundations, they were so terrible. they were WAY too dark and always came off to easily and looked kinda fake and gross. now for almost a year i have been wearing cliniques perfectly real compact makeup shade 102 (n). now its wayy better than those other liquid foundations. much lighter color. ive discovered that powder foundation is much better for oily skin. (mines not tooo too oily just a bit) it just seems to get oily too quickly. and last week i had to do my foundation in natural light and it looked pretty much terrible! it looked like pinkish on my skin. im getting so frustrated. i use a physicans formula brand concealer underneath and it covers well but doesnt blend well with foundation. i use clean and clear face products, so i dont get much acne, its really mostly red acne spots that i need to cover up. i noticed the clinique makeup looks so good on me in fake lights but in natural light it looks all textury and fake.

what should i try? a lighter shade of my current foundation? or should i try MAC or Bare Minerals? ive heard good things about those. i just cant waste money now cause im saving up for a car for college next year. what can i do to control shine? i usually just wash my face and then put on foundation because if i put on mosturizer first, it makes the makeup get oily quicker. i hate it.

IMPORTANT:
I need a foundation for my skin, i guess it has more yellowish undertones and its pretty pale, and a little oily. I NEED a foundation that is natural looking but good coverage. PLEASE HELP!

Bare Escentuals Bare Minerals. It is great. You can tailor the coverage to fit your needs simply by applying more and it always looks like your skin. You can sleep in it. It will NOT break you out and if you get a tan or something you can mix your current color with a darker one and it is so easy to apply. I love it. Have for over 10 years. It is kind of expensive but it lasts you quite awhile. Go and try it...you'll be amazed.

Maybeline DREAM Matte is the best foundation i've ever used.
It's not in a bottle and you don't need anything to apply it on, but just your fingers!

It comes in a little round tub container and your just wipe your finger and it rubs on smoothly and blends! I prefer to use my foundation brush though, but fingers work just fine.

You can get heaps of shades including ones for pale skin! I love it. It's only AU$21! I'm not sure where you live, but im sure it would be around the same price!

Take care.
