I have never worn foundation or anything like that and every time I have boughten some it seems like my skin color completely changes. I'm pretty freckled and my skin tones seem to change all the time. And I wear glasses. But I want my skin to look smooth and flawless. So products? Tips? Ideas? Anything?

I am allergic to coconut and my skin is sensitive so I just want to find something that works. And is not going to cost a complete fortune to have. This is my face with no makeup or anything.

I'd recommend something that caters to sensitive skin (like Clinique and coverfx has foundations suitable for sensitive skin) also, they have very pale shades.. Since you do look pale with a yellow undertone. What's your skintype?

Have you tried a bb cream? It's very light coverage so it wouldn't cover up those gorgeous freckles, but it still gives your face a fresh clean look!
I myself don't wear foundation as I don't like to much coverage so I use bb creams and love it!!

Agree Clinique n cover fx are good for sensitive skin as well as Estée Lauder - are you looking to cover your freckles or do you want them to show through your makeup? In any case try to match your foundation color with your neck color - that's usually good place to start as well as understanding your undertones as well - that will help you to choose the right shade in the store.

Oh darn. I have oily skin so no suggestions.. Hmm.. I know my girl Sandra has dry (I believe sensitive - don't quote me on that) skin and she loves the NARS sheer glow. :)

Try the moisture surge line by Clinique - great for dry sensitive skin.

They have a cc cream as well as tinted moisturizer but not sure if they have coconut in them.

I love the foundation, I'm sure the bb cream is good. Read reviews on sephora's website :)

Yeah it's actually pretty nice but coverage is very light - so I think it would fit your needs perfectly.

There are reviews about it on YouTube n BL from when the stuff first came out you can watch before you buy.

Your skin is beautiful... I see the pigmentation you want to cover. Its localized... so don't mask your whole face with heavy product. Specially with sensitive skin. Clinique moisture surge is very nice, like said above. Not full coverage... or nars tinted moisture, occ makes and airbrush foundation you can apply with a brush, thats lovely, and light. Somrthing like that all over to even tone. The in center, where you need coverage, vichy dermablend, rcma, something corrective... used with a small liner brush... don't try and cover every spot. Just tap on prodyct, and dab with finger tip til blended. Fot desired coverage set with powder.

The bare minerals stuff I was super interested in and I had the original stuff and I hated it. I felt like my face was super cakey and the serum is made with dun. dun. dun. Coconut.
