Foundation Recommendations?

Hi!

Basically, I've only ever used powder and concealer. I know shocking, right? But now I want to get a good foundation.

I have sensitive, combination skin. I am a teenager so I do get breakouts. Also, I've read so many articles that say that foundation clogs up pores. So nothing too thick/heavy. Something that's light and leaves my skin good for the whole day.

Thanks!

If you want something affordable, try the Neutrogena Healthy Skin foundation. I've been trying it out for two weeks now and I love it. It covers most if not all of my blemishes. I set mine with a loose powder and I don't have to touch up at all. I do have combination skin with acne scaring. Since it has SPF 20 I wouldn't recommend wearing this if you're going to take pictures.

Revlon Colorstay is perfect for you. I have combination to oily skin also that is extremely sensitive and I have been using this foundation for over 2 years and it has worked so well for me. Gives me amazing coverage and doesn't clog my pores nor does it make me look cakey. With the right powder or even a setting spray your set. With this foundation you can just use a tiny tiny amount and still get medium/full coverage. Totally buildable to your preference. It's a drugstore brand so you won't feel bad if it doesn't work out.

If you skin is quite oily. Have you perhaps tried a cream based foundation? instead of a liquid?

Hi! Well, seeing as you have combination skin, I would recommend a product from Maybelline. It is the Maybelline Fit Me Foundation, whether it be in the liquid form or powder form. It has no oil and apparently it is supposed to give you a natural coverage.

I have been using this product for about... six months now and I have oily skin.The only downside to this is that you actually have to blend it in really well or else it does show up and you may look too light or too dark, depending on your skin tone.

As for the sensitivity, I am not so sure as my skin is not sensitive but my sister uses exactly the same product as me and she has sensitive skin and finds no irritation whatsoever.

As for the price, however, i think i bought it for about $12 AUS but I am not sure about the American pricing. On the website, it says it is about $8 and I do think it's a great foundation. As long as your blending is great and you match the color with your skin tone, it should be fine.

I hope this helped.
