I like the hourglass mineral veil because it tightens pores, absorbs oils, and just makes my skin flawless before even applying foundation!
I also like Dr Brandt pores no more. It is the only product that can make me look 100% airbrushed due to how well it covers my pores.
My go to foundation lately has been Ellis Faas's skin veil. It's so creamy and hyrdrating, stays on, photographs well, and blends like skin. People compliment me on how good my skin looks with it on.
Since it's summer and I literally have nothing to get up early for, I stay up laaaaaattttteee! I need limits lol. Anyways to mask my dark circles, I've been obsessing over my Benefit erase paste. It's salmony toned, so it corrects darkness. It doesn't crease and is super creamy.
I love Origins activated charcoal mask, it's a Glamglow dupe. It really helps my clogged pores and acne.
I have been loving my Kate Sommerville toner. No alcohal or fragrances, and it really soothes my skin + I've been seeing reduction in milia.
Lastly, I love my Ole Henrikson lemon flash peel, if you have sensitive skin, steer clear of it though. It exfoiliates and lightens scars so well, it makes your skin look amazing.

So that's it.

Primer: I would go with the Hourglass Veil Mineral primer. it's about $18 for the travel size & $52 for the full size. it absorbs oil so it'll be really great for your oily areas. it also really smooths out the skin & makes pores & fine lines WAY less noticeable.

Foundation: I don't know how you feel about matte foundations, but I really loved NARS Sheer Matte foundation. I'm not sure how much it costs in America, but I paid $55. I really loved how it made my skin look. especially with the Hourglass primer. it has a medium coverage, but you can build up to a more full coverage if you need/want.

Concealer: I've never seen anyone else who uses it, but I love the Tarte Maracuja Creaseless concealer. it's definitely creaseless, it's waterproof, full coverage & long wear. it covers both blemishes & undereye circles very well.

Skin Care: I recently bought an amazing peel-off mask by Boscia. their Luminizing Black Mask really helps make the skin look more clear & cleans out pores beautifully! my skin was glowing after I peeled it off. I paid $44 I think.

So out of all of these things, I only use concealer and obviously skincare... So concealers: I'm loving Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer, lately. It's super creamy, doesn't feel dry under my eyes, and takes the tiniest bit to cover my dark circles. It's really, really great.

Skincare wise: I LOOOOVE Korres moisturizers. My all time favorite is the Wild Rose and Vitamin C Brightening Sleeping facial (I use it as a nightly moisturizer, and it makes my skin feel utterly fantastic). It's great for dark spots and it smells divine. Also, the Kate Somerville EradiKate is an amazing spot treatment. Just ask anyone in Sephora, it gets rid of blemishes basically overnight. Also, the Fresh Sugar Lip Treatments. I won't wax poetic about those, but they're glorious.

For primer I love the cover fx mattifying primer. I also have normal combo skin & not sensitive, it did not dry me out but I have used the anti aging one as well & like that so either one may work for you.
benefit porefessional, I have large pores on my cheek & it really helps the appearance of them.
Foundation
I always used estee lauder double wear & loved that it is transfer resistant & full coverage

Makeup forever 5 cream palette- I have some hyper pigmentation and it's a color correcting palette for every skin issue

Guerlains meterorites- it's a finishing powder and I really want it because it really puts your face in soft focus and reflects light in the most flattering way possible.

Kevin aucoin sensual skin enhancer- Jacqueline H. Called it something like "foundation on steroids" lol you can use it to highlight, as a concealer, foundation, whatever. Insane coverage

Primer- hourglass mineral veil (duh lol)

Becca shimmering skin perfector- I actually have this and OMG! This is an amazingggg product. You can use it as an illuminator under the foundation, mix it with it or even as a cheek highlight. Not actually shimmery but gives such a beautiful iridescent sheen. Glows amazingly on the face

MAC prolongwear concealer- my HG for under eyes. So thin in consistency but has a great coverage and doesn't crease. The tiniest amount is needed so it lasts forever

Foundation
I now am using smashbox studio skin & like it more & more every day. It is also transfer resistant & med to full coverage with a natural finish. I like higher coverage but wanted something a little lighter & really like it. Its extremely long lasting as well. The colors look very warm toned, but it blends flawlessly so I would suggest getting a sample & trying it even if it doesn't look like it will match. I use my UD optical blurring brush & finish off with my damp beauty blender.

Concealer
mac pro longwear or tarte creaseless concealer. because simply they both do not crease & stay put all day after being set
I don't really have dark circles bit every now & then when I do I use the benefit erase paste. its thick but blends amazingly & doesn't settle in fine lines. I was surprised how much I like it.

Skincare
I apologize I'm not home right now & really bad with names but I use Boscia face cleanser, masks, toner spray & dermalogica active moist. I have a cleanser & serum from ole Henriksen & I haven't been using it long but absolutely love how it feels on my skin & how much fresher & revitalized it looks afterwards.

I'll check the names when I get home but they both are yellow bottles & I got them in a kit with the lemon peel.
