Ok so I'm not a makeup/skincare guru or anything, so I need some help. I have pretty fair with more neutral undertones, and I have a hard time finding the perfect shades in any makeup products. I've been to ulta and sephora to get matched up and I pretty sure I just got mediocre makeup assitants, but they couldnt find a really good match for me, usually too yellow, or too pasty/pink...I have combination skin,and get pretty oily in my t zone and eyelids (eww) but I get a little dry around my nose. currently I use bare minerals ready foundation with spf 20 in fairly light, and before that I used Jane iredale purepressed mineral powder with spf 20 in satin , I like the coverage (since I dont like to look like I have makeup on and it blends into my moisturizer) but since I smile a lot (lol) They crease around my smile lines and eyes, and I get oily so it kinda wears off a bit. I'm scared to try liquid foundaion cause I wonder if it will be too oily (but if I had a setting powder itd probably be ok I guess) I've used marykay liquid foundation but the shade I got was a lil dark and so I never really used it..I only use lubriderm on my face, and I like that it's not greasy for me. I kinda have sensitive skin too so it's hard to find a good moisturizer (tips would be appreciated) also I don't even know where to start with a primer...I've used one before but it was kinda powdery and made my makeup look a little dry...I basically need help with all the basics lol primer, foundation, concealer, setting powder (which I've never used, but I want to since I get pretty oily) I use glamoflauge concealer in the 2nd lightest shade whenever I need it for breakouts, but it kinda sucks and is a bit yellowy, I've tried Jane Iredale dual concealer and I like that consistency a bit more cause it isn't as runny and it doesn't cake... But I long since ran out and haven't gotten more cause its $$ lol I don't wear eyeshadow or anything either so I'm fine there, but I do need a new eyelash curler lol if you guys can help me I would really appreciate it!! Thanks!!

I have the same problem I have a million different colors in my face with dry areas around my nose and middle in between my eyebrows. I use true match by loreal I forgot the color but try your best to match the tone you want and buy a matte foundation and use as a bronzer to pretty much even out your skin. Concealers can be pretty tricky but I've found a lot of concealers work really good but do crease and settle in my fine lines all you have to do when you find one that matches you good and is buy a anti crease primer from ulta and apply it before you concealer and you should be fine. I hope this helps!
