foundation
14/f. my mom always told me that it is better for your skin if you don't wear foundation, or any makeup on your skin. so in the summer i dont wear foundation. but normally for school i would wear foundation everyday because i have oily skin, i get a few pimples, and my skintone is uneven (my cheecks are redder then the rest of my face).
is there any foundation out there that you have PERSONALY used and like that won't make me break out, and isn't bad for your skin, and won't clog my pores. i want something that i can buy at CVS, that isn't too expensice, like around $5.
oh and don't tell me to buy the maybelline matte mousse foundation, because i don't like that stuff, i feel like it is too heavy.
THANKS SO MUCH [=

Makeup is only bad for your skin if you wear something with oil in it, and you don't take it off before you go to sleep--otherwise you can get pimples. Makeup in this day and age however, is perfectly ok for your skin, and most of the better brands put sunscreen, vitamins and antioxidants in the makeup so it's actually better for your skin than going without it.
The makeup I personally use is expensive ($40 a bottle) but I'm a makeup artist so I get it for free. If at all possible, try to save up some money so you can buy something good. You can get good foundation for $17 at a department store. You can also try it on in a department store and make sure it's the right shade and that you like it before you buy it. I know it's more expensive than what you wanted, but with makeup you get what you pay for.
Also, if you find something that looks really good your mom will probably start buying it for you so that you won't go back to crappy makeup.

My skin sounds just like yours, I have oily skin and I find that maybelline foundation(not the mousse) but their new brand caled pure make up works great! It has mostly water in it and absoloutly new oils. It also comes in a variety of skintones so you wont look like a clown. It sounds like you break out a lot. Try using pro activ it has helped me alot a lond with a new product/machine think that is 273$ called Zeno. It uses heat to zap that bacteria in the pimple away and if used three times daily, it will be gone by the next day. Also the neutragena 8 hour acne solution works well, along with their products.

I used MAC for a while but then it started getting expensive, so I switched to Almay and it works way better and is about $4.99-$6.00 depending where you get it at.

EDIT-
I use clear complexion, medium 300. It's kinda dark, so if you aren't very tan I think there's a light/medium 200, and even just a light. Just depends how heavy you like to put it on!

i use true match powder foundation. it never breaks me out.

I use I.D Bare Esentuals. It's a powder foundation, blush and concealer line, but it's a bit pricy. But the other day I was at the store and noticed that serveral generic brands (Neutrogena, Almay and Maybelliene) have their own, way less expensive variations on this. They won't clog your pores or make you break out at all. If you go this route, I would suggest investing in some nice makeup brushes for a super-smooth application. :)
