As you can see from my pic I have a lot to cover up!! Brown spots, dark circles, under eye wrinkles, etc. I love everything to do with makeup and am constantly watching tutorials, reading producT reviews etc. yet I still haven't found a way or a product to cover up all of these things without pounding on the makeup!! I am on a budget but I have tried a lot of pricier products and even different techniques, applicators, brushes etc.!! I know that makeup is only supposed to be used to enhance but like I said I'm very self conscious without make up!! Especially with the brown spots on my chin, upper lip and nose and the dark circles!! If any of you professionals could help me out with some suggestions it would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks so much!

Have you ever tried a tinted moisturizer, to see if that you help. I have rosacea and I can get away with wearing that if I don't want to put on foundation.

Thanks for responding Cole M. I have tried many tinted moisturizers. It's just not enough coverage. The brown spots really bother me and I know I may not be able to cover them completely but not even the full coverage foundations do much. I guess you can't really tell by the pic but they're all over my chin, nose and upper lip. Maybe I'm being too vane about it but like I said I just feel so self conscious

What about a lightening cream for the spots. Have you tried that. Instead of covering them up try to lighten them to get rid of the dark spots. I don't think you're being vane doll. We all have our insecurities, we're women!

Aww you're so sweet. I do wanna try a lightening cream but they're so expensive! I would spend the money if I knew it was going to work ya know?

Well, I actually think you don't have that much to even conceal. Just some tinted moisturizer/light to medium foundation and concealer should help :) You don't honestly need that much coverage!

Psssh! Girl, I STILL think that you don't need that much coverage:D I'm not sure whether you're having liver spots or freckles either way, you don't need to cover them! They're not ugly!

I think you look great but if you want a full coverage makeup, I like kat von d tattoo concealer and the lock it long wear foundation, more budget friendly I'd try hardcandy glamaflauge concealer and the new three in one foundation by covergirl.
