I would suggest going to sephora or ulta or a place like that and let them color match you that will prob b the easiest way to find the right color and coverage.

The only way to get the coverage your going for if you are insecure about it then I do recomend going to sephora or ulta and having a person do it for you because they will tell you what's best for your skin and if that means paying a little extra I say do it.

I have really pale skin too and revlon color stay in 110 ivory is really good coverage! It has a matte finish so it would be good for oily skin

Dermablend is what you need, the one in the jar. It's a little pricey but you need very little to get full coverage and a lot comes in the jar. I think my jar lasted 2 years! Which isn't very hygienic but whatever I got my money's worth lol. And I'm a little fairer than you and I got a perfect color match.

I think I misunderstood and thought you wanted concealer. If it's foundation you need, I would agree that revlon colorstay is excellent, it's what I used in high school when my acne was horrible and it served me well! Rimmel 25 Hour is great too, and I think their lightest shade is a little lighter than revlon's.

I'd say give Revlon Colorstay a go.

You should try mixing your foundations & if you want to get a coverage on your acne what I do is conceal my spots that are red or where I'm breaking out before I lay my foundation over & once I do put foundation go over it again with the concealer on the spots that your foundation couldn't cover :)

Ok. My acne is horrible. It was worse than yours up until I realized recently iron supplements I'd had to take were breaking me out really bad.

Anyways, from my picture you can tell it doesn't look like I have any.

First, I wash my face with hot water. Then I apply Rimmel stay matte primer with my hands, then apply Revlon Colorstay for oily/combination skin with a dry Sonia Kashuk sponge by patting the side of it in the foundation then on the surface I use to get off any excess, then on to my face and repeat until everything's covered(it's ok if your acne is still showing a little, a thin layer looks best and the concealer will cover it completely), then pat on with the pointed end of the sponge Cover Girl smoothers stick concealer all over any spots that are visible (all of this completely covers the acne).

After, I go on to do contouring with a lighter and darker version of the same brand concealer with the side and pointed end of my sponge, then I apply Revlon creme blush with the side of the sponge, pat a little concealer back over and spots that became slightly noticeable after contouring, I then use Revlon brow fantasy pencil (not the gel that comes with it), which is the best drugstore brow pencil I've found for me, brush them out, then I use Neutrogena Shine Free (Translucent) powder, and finish with mascara,lips, and brushing my brows out again. Recently, I bought Elf setting spray for when I think I look to powdery, but haven't used it enough to have an opinion on it.

It's a lot, but as far as covering the acne it's not hard at all. This is the fastest routine and best I've tried by far. I can't tell you how good it is for your skin, but my makeup does not budge. Warning: Revlon Colorstay drys like cement and can be a pain to get off.
