Hey I have a fair complexion with yellow undertones and I have super bad skin. So I wondered of you guys knew of any relatively cheap foundations or concealers that would cover up my spots without it looking like I have makeup on?
Thank you so much xxx

Estée Lauder Double Wear max coverage. It's a bit much initial investment, but it will last a very long time.

I recommend Estée Lauder Double Wear. The max coverage one covers wonderfully but if you have oily skin, forget it. I used to wear that and had to completely remove my makeup midday because my skin looked like an oil slick. The original double wear is semi-matte and stays beautiful all day long. It's my HG foundation and comes in 30 shades so you will definitely find a great color to match you. Go to a counter, get matched then get a sample to try!

Bare minerals is great for acne prone skin, it should last you like 5-8 months

I second Bare Minerals. It's amazing for problem skin. If you'd rather have a liquid, Neutrogena makes an Acne clearing foundation that I've heard good things about but have never tried myself. OH! Clinique has an acne foundation that I have used and loved also. It's around $20.

Clinique redness solutions foundation for the redness and a good cleansing regimen for the acne prone part :)

Try mineral foundation & buff onto your skin.Or concealers to cover up red-spots,but its recommended you leave your skin untouchable with makeup if its getting worst.

Bare minerals original foundation. I have the same issues - mineral makeup for acne prone skin is the best way to go, though I would suggest also using a good primer and also setting spray, especially with harsh winter weather

I would try the new Maybelline BB cream. Goes on kind of like half foundation, half moisturizer except its light coverage. I'd also try MAC Studio Tech ($30) with a stippling brush. It gives amazing even coverage very quickly. The most expensive I'd go for is from Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua, Bobbie Brown, or Estee Lauder.

Estée Lauder double wear is absolutely amazing! It gives a flawless full coverage finish! Use this with Mac studio finish and bare minerals powder for a flawless finish

To cover up redness you can buy a green concealer or primer. The green will cancel out the red.
Hope this helped:)

I use MAC Studio Fix Fluid and I manage to cover up my blemishes pretty well. I also use a concealer of course. I tried the Clinique foundation for acne and it dried my skin out really bad.
