Hi,
Now I am in a bit of a pickle. My skin without makeup is perfect, not oily or matte. However I have lots of dark spots left over from acne, so I wear makeup to camouflage it. I only have these spots on my cheeks. I noticed that some of my makeup becomes oily after a while, the sorts that look like an oil-ball. Now I hate how some oil free make up looks, that ashy, gray, ghostly look. I have a tried a few brands but nothing helps. I have warm skintone without a doubt. I've used MAC Matte and illamasqua skin base, it works but i would like to see what's out there that's good. Any suggestions?
Clinique has a foundation called Even Better. Its suppose to help cover as well as treat uneven skin tone and dark spots. It also contains vitamin C and spf 15. As far as giving that mid day shine/oiliness, Im not sure but if you are close by a Clinique counter stop by, inquire about it and ask for a sample. One of the consultants should be able to match you up and send you home with a 7 day sample. That should be enough for you to tell whether you will like it or not. Good Luck! :)
Thanks I had no idea they a had new foundation...I am so excited. So it's kinda a two in one then. I have never been to a store in London, except bobbi brown, and got samples but i will definitely have a look.
