I will be going shopping sometime soon, and I definitely need a primer, concealer and foundation.
I a,ready use Loréals primer. It the Nude Magique one.
And the foundation is Body Shop.
And the concealer is Kroylan Face paint stick. (Ik its not a concealer, but I don't have any atm, and I need to use one desperately.
So what drugstore primer and concealer is good.
My skin is combination.
Oily T-Zone, near the nostrils, cheeks (soomerimes) and rarely
under the eyes.
I was thinking of getting this primer. And Maybelline age rewind concealer. So I need your help in what is your favourite drugstore primer and concealer.
And the foundation, I was thinking of getting the Givenchy Photo Perfexion Foundation.
^ Is the foundation worth it? What are your experiences with it. Would it work on me?
And if not, then which one should I get?
P.s I really don't like estee lauder that much.

My favorite drugstore concealer is the maybelline age rewind comcealer and the fit me
I put on the age rewind 1st a thin layer to hide darkness then I use the fit me on top
I used the loreal primer it's good but I switched to elf mineralized primer in a pump bottle

I have both, the Age Rewind Concealer and the Givenchy Foundation. Just as a note, my skin is combination just like yours.
Age Rewind: I bought it since everyone raves on how good it is. Well, I didn't like it since it remarked the texture on my undereye. It creased after few hours of application although I settled every time. The coverage is "good" if you have light discoloration or not so purple tones. It definitely does not work on blemishes. It wasn't my favorite.
Givenchy Photo Perfexion: I really like this foundation. It has medium coverage (you still need to conceal a noticeable blemish afterward). The finish is LOVELY since it resembles pretty good to the skin. It lasts like 8 hours, I'm still looking for a primer that can make it last longer. I feel it does not get oily at all, like the Make Up Forever HD foundation did. It has SPF but it does not show a white cast on pictures. In overall I think it is a very good foundation for everyday. (I'm wearing it in my profile picture)

Genevieve, thank you for your help. (:
Sam, so it doesn't look caked on?
Hailey, thanks for the Rimmel suggestion. Ill see that out. And I want to like cover up my eyes, and like outline my lips.
Ohokay. Thankyou. Its just, that yk they crease over the day. And it looks weird.
Lara, first *highfive* oily skinyk. 😹
Next, age rewind, okay I don't like it when it creases up. Ill check which concealer ill get.
And okay, ill be getting the foundation. Tell me are the shades too light or too dark? And I usually wear foundations a couple shades lighter than my original skin color.

I have a medium complexion with strong yellow undertones. I wear the shade "6 Perfect Honey" and it was a very good match. It tends to oxidize a liiiiiiiittle bit but it's not noticeable. Maybe you'd like to the counter and ask for the best match for you :)
as a note, I use The Body Shop seaweed mattifying day cream as my moisturizer and it helps tons keeping at bay the oil :)

I went to body shop recently and they were out of stock, I use the seaweed mask, and its lovee. 😍😍
Yeah I think going to the counter will help.
And thankyou again soo much.

As for drugstore concealer I've been using Nyx Gotcha covered Total water proof concealer which states is full coverage but I think it's full coverage only when it's a spot coverage and buildable up to get anything fuller. I think hard candy concealer is more of a full coverage and would suggest that be more what your looking for since you use kryolan stick.I used the hard candy to cover my freckles and it did the job.
Drugstore concealer isn't my go to I have mostly high end concealers I love but as for the few drugstore concealers I do have I'm pleased with those 2. :)

No it doesn't looked caked on just a tiny amount of the age rewind

Primer: I love the primer that you picked! It's awesome, especially if you are worried about pores! I also like the Rimmel 5-in-1 primer
Concealer: my favorite drugstore concealer is the maybelline instant age rewind and my favorite high end is the nars radiant creamy concealer
Foundation: I don't know much about the Givenchy one, but I do really like the born this way by too faced!

I have tried the Maybelline Fit Me and I don't know what happened. I think I got a bad one since it looked really cakey and dry (I have oily skin around my eyes). But everyone keeps telling me it's a good concealer so I don't know what was wrong with it.

Camilla, did you use a primer? Did you set it with a powder?

Soha S.
Alma, thankyou so much for detailed review on the foundation.
And yeah ill look into hard candy as well.
Thankyou sam. ((:
Shelby, so does the primer make the foundation stay on and won't make any areas oily?
And what is your experience with Born This Way? Is it suitable for oily skin?
And okay, I think ill be getting the age rewind one or ill see.
Camiloa, maybe it wasnt for your skin tybe?
