I have very light skin, dark brown eyes and brown hair. I also get breakouts often with pimples that come in 2's and 3's and they always get red and for some reason I can never find a good foundation routine to effectively make my skin look flawless! :( either my red breakouts always show through, or my skin is too light and I cant match the color correctly. Please help if you have tips or anything!!

I always go somewhere that can match my slin color correctly like sephora or mac...and also try putting concealer on prior to ur foundation and that should also help. Try using oil-free products.

Firstly, get a rednesa reducing primer, or mix some green concealer with your favorite primer.
Get a full coverage foundation, and apply it with either your fingers or a makeup sponge. I suggest MAC Studio Fix Fluid, Kat Von D's Lock It, Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse or Loreal True Match
Then use a very pigmented thick concealer, like Rimmel London's Hide The Blemish or Hard Candy's Glamoflauge, and blend with your fingers, patting it into your skin
Lastly, set it all with a powder. MACs Studio Fix is nice also Maybelline's Fit Me powder(:
Also, use a setting spray to ensure it will last allllll day long(:
