I have an oily super flawed skin...
I have ugly little pimples and like my skin color isn't all the same...
What do you suggest..? How can I look pretty?

I have really oily skin too 😭 for the colouring problem , a cc cream is great. For your pimples try concealers that have anti blemish properties. Or even mix acne cream with your foundation x

My skin is oily pretty much year round (with the exception of December/January). Recently I've decided to try out natural oils and boy, do they work! What I've been using to even out my skin tone is rosehip oil. Also I highly suggest you use a sunscreen, even on cloudy days. For the last two months, I've been using Miss Spa's brightening sheet mask and I've noticed a significant difference in the dark spots on my face! But I would suggest using them every other week because I tried to use it every week for the first month and it made my skin very dry. As for acne spots, I like to alternate between the Clean & Clear salicylic acid spot treatment and tea tree oil. The spot treatment also helps lighten acne scars. To balance out my oily skin, I like to using apricot kernel oil (let it soak in for a few min.) then a thick moisturizer like CeraVe's to lock in the moisture. My last tip is to drink plenty of water! I find that my skin looks and feels better when I drink enough water. I hope this helps and good luck! (:

Maybeline and Rimmel London have really good cc creams but I'm not too sure about the concealers x

I know that acne can make you feel insecure - but you have to understand that clear skin does not make you beautiful/pretty - you are already a very beautiful and pretty girl - your photo in your profile looks pretty amazing to me! So try to understand that everyone has acne - even if it's just one or two little spots here and there - no one has clear skin all their life with zero issues - everyone has skin issues from discoloration to aging - and skin care companies feed off of our insecurities to sell us more products that may or may not work for us - your best bet is to see a dermatologist and get treated for your skin type and your specific concerns because everyone's skin is different and responds to things differently and what works for some may or may not work for you - any great skin care routine starts with a cleanser, toner, spot treatment for problem areas, moisturizer and SPF - you should buy products that are tailored to your skin type and the specific issues you want to address - for pimples it depends on the type of acne and your skin type but you can start with a salicylic acid spot treatment applied directly to your pimples - for oiliness most people have oily skin because it's actually overly dry and it makes up for the dryness with over producing oil - so try a moisturizing night cream or facial oil like jojoba oil to restore moisture and balance your skin to produce less oils naturally - for discoloration try a chemical exfoliant like a BHA (salicylic acid) which will slough away dead skin cells and deep clean your pores to prevent acne and reveal a more radiant skin tone - these are just suggestions that have worked for me and they may or may not work for you so trial and error is part of figuring out what does work for you but if you go to a dermatologist they can take out a lot of that guess work and actually save you a lot of money in wasted products that don't work- hope that helps - good luck and remember you are beautiful and pretty just the way you are :)

Hi! Try to use a blue concealer before you apply your normal concealer: this will help balance the redness/blemish that comes with pimples. I started doing it and it helped a lot. Also, try using a cc cream, the makeupforever one is good :)

What's your skincare routine and what products are you using?

Try getting some Retinol products or a chemical exfoliator.
I used to have like small bumps on my forehead, had very very oily skin and my skin was never really smooth.
I used makeup but in the right angle you could see all the little bumps and then once I started using a facial loofah it helped a bit but then I started using retinol products and now my skin is very smooth and I don't break out at much nor am I nearly as oily.

I have acne scars and actually some small pitting and large pores. I know how it can make you feel less attractive. but everyone's skin has texture and imperfections. you should start on a regimen, possibly from a dermatologist. Cosmetics wise a silicone primer applied with a small brush in circular motions can smooth out the skin. a thin layer of foundation applied with a sponge or brush will even out your completion. spot Concealing can cover spits and any discoloration that wasn't covered by the foundation.

Aurora, which specific Retinol brand do you use, and how often do you use a chemical exfoliator? (:

If you're searching for a good concealer for oily skin, I recommend the one by Make Up For Ever.
