Help me pick a drug store Concealer and foundation for acne prone skin,need your reviews?

Posted by admin on April 8th, 2010 and filed under store reviews | 5 Comments »

hi, i get acne around my jaw bone and the side of my cheeks, my skin is pritty sensitive ,i’m guessing i have combination skin , because some parts of my skin are dryer then other parts and some parts can be more oily , i find that if i buy concealer i wont have to put as much foundation on in the end..
so i’m kind of looking for a brand that gives you quite a bit of product not just one that comes in a small stick .
i like MAC products but unfortunately my skin does not respond very well to there powder foundations..so i’d like to stay away from mac and check out drug store concealers and foundation.

i have very pale skin my mac shade is NC15 , but even that can be a bit too tinted but not by much.
i do have a yellowish tint to my skin even though its pale, i definitely don’t have a pink hue..but because of my acne i do have a bit of redness in my face. i’m Caucasian.i’d say i have moderate acne, enough to be uncomfortable with.

so if anyone can share with me what you use to cover your spots , i’d also like it to be affordable and easy to find in the uk. but if there is a good brand that is Japanese, Chinese or Koren i’d might consider trying to get it on eBay if its really worth it and if it comes highly recommended and affordable at the same time.

also nothing tinted orange or even slightly orangy it stains my skin the lady at the drugstore couldn’t believe it when i was trying concealers and some foundations, everything she tried stained me orange because im pale.

so give me your review on your drugstore foundation and concealer that you use on your acne prone skin, also please tell me how bad your acne is and how the makeup effects your skin ,and what products to keep away from.

thank you ,
no mean remarks or spam or you will be reported.
