Almay Clear Complexion- helps prevent/treat acne or pimples + great coverage
MAC Select SPF 15- a little drying, but i love the coverage and SPF
MAC Mineralizing Foundation SPF 15- my personal favorite, lighter coverage
Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse- i like the texture, i hate how little comes with the product, light coverage

@Steph M, have you noticed the Almay Clear Complexion actually helping your acne? I just might have to look into that one!

I have very sensitive skin. So its pretty hard for me to choose any foundation. i havent tried Almay's clear complexion i just might have to look into that also!! i tried the Maybelline's FIT ME and its ok.. The Dream Mousse foundation really broke me out and by the end of the day I looked like a grease pan with oil lol but i will try the Almay Thanks :)

I normally wear tinted moisturizer but the ones I use is like medium to full coverage and I like it cause it doesn't feel like much on the face.
The two that I'm currently switching back and forth with is the Laura Mercier and Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua.

I've been thinking of investing in tinted moisturizers.. Ive always been a full coverage kinda chick lol but since its so hot& humid outside i want the lighest foundation application.. I swatched the Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer and it was light but rich i will look into buying this!! Thanks Mandy!!

For a while I suffered from severe acne (multiple pimples in one spot in multiple areas of my face -- 3 pimples on my chin, 3 more on my left temple, 3 more across my cheeks -- with a mixture of white heads, and cystic acne), I couldn't leave the house without full coverage. I tried every type of foundation from higher ends (MUFE, CoverFX, MAC) to drug store (Revlon, Neutrogena, L'oreal). I had to pack on the concealer and liquid foundation to cover all my acne and scars.

Then I read something from a fellow beauty, she mentioned she switched to mineral make up for a month (Mandy K.) and her face cleared up tremendously, so I thought all this covering up is only making it worse, why not let my skin breathe for a while. So I too switched to mineral make up (I am now using Meow Cosmetics mineral foundation -- something else Mandy recommended) and my face cleared up! My forehead/face is now smooth (versus it being so bumpy before, no more multiple pimples and no more multiple breakouts).

I am using the Feirce Feline foundation, and that provides the most coverage. It covers pretty darn good -- it's compariable to liquid foundation and concealer.

Wow thats great!!!! And you have smooth gorgeous skin! :) Ive actually never heard of Meow Cometics but it sounds like an acne prone full coverage makeup, which i believe everyone wants lol!! Thanks for sharing your story and for the advice Jane!!

LOL No worries Dania, I wouldn't have heard of Meow Cosmetics if it weren't for Mandy K. The only problem is that they are only an online brand -- and you need a minimum of $10 to make a purchase.

And their selection of foundation is so overwhelming! There is about 86 shades, and they all look like they could totally match your skin. It was very confusing to figure out what is my "undertone" because I was a user of MAC for a very long time -- and according to what people say, I have 'warm' undertones, and I was so confused as to why the MAC workers would say NC (Neutral "Cool") was the best color for me -- until I found out that MAC is a little backwards. They prefer to offset your undertones, so if you're a warm they recommend NC colors, and if you're a cool they recommend NW colors.

Anyway, here is a link to find out what color foundation you are in any brand (for the most part) -- a very good resource: http://www.temptalia.com/foundation-matrix

the Almay foundation really works for me... i mean i wouldnt substitute it for a regular acne treatment, but i rather wear a makeup that would help out even in the littlest way then to wear a pour clogging foundation. i like it, but its a little pricey for drugstore... i paid about $10 (more or less) but i recommend it!!
