ugh my skin tone is uneven, and i have a little bit of acne so it's basically impossible to get makeup to look normal. haha so first i put on concealer (tru match) on my acne & under my nose where it's red. i have covergirl clean makeup foundation but sometimes i don't use it unless my skin is extra red in some areas, so i put it there. so usually i skip that and use physicians formula loose powder and maybe some powder bronzer. it looks ok for a little while, but after like 2 hours my face looks red again and some of the like, hardened acne(i use retin a micro) looks all gross. i don't know what to usee ! help?
ps: no bare minerals though its probably not worth $60

You shouldn't need to cover your acne and redness with makeup. Honestly, I think it looks rather fake.
To clear up your acne, try a prescription, a capsule, to take twice a day, the stop acne from forming. Ask your doctor about this, your acne might not be bad enough to use this. (An ingredient is Minocycline). I have used this, and after one month, I have not had any more acne!
Be sure to wash your face with a gentle cleanser twice daily, and moisturize your whole face. (The creams for acne contain Benzoyl Peroxide, which dries the skin, so moisturzing repairs the skin after using these creams.) Drink plenty of water, eat healthy, and get good exercise.
I would reccommend a tinted moisturizer with SPF 15 for your face. I would tell anyone that this is the best bet. It last long, hides any imperfections, keeps your skin glowing, natural, and beautiful, while also protecting from the sun!

Honey, you're only 13, no need to throw your beautiful skin away using making. It will cause wrinkles by age 20 if you keep this up.
First, you must get rid of the acne. Putting on make up over it will look okay...for a while but in the long run, it will cause it become worse.
You should try splashing green tea onto your face every night for a while until the acne goes away and keep doing that (wehn I say green tea, YOU mix it with fridge water and green tea powder..not store bought sugard filled green teas). It will make your pores finer and help wit the acne. Don't use anything perscribed by dermatologists because they will seriously hurt you in the long long run. Store products are okay I guess but it really doesn't help but rather burns, irratates, and/or dries out your skin causing your acne to get worse. Wash your face twice a day with Cetaphil and splash at least 1-2 cups of greeen tea onto your face at night. It will really help with the acne which will reduce your usage of make up.
If you want to even out your skin tone, use Aveeno Radiant Glow--I believe is the name--it will even out your skin. Plus it's oil free and won't clog pores

Actually, I hear the mineral make-up makes pores look a lot bigger. I hear the pro-active stuff can be bought in some stores now and really works. Keep all hands away from your skin and use clean cotton or sponge wedges to apply make-up. The more bacteria on skin, the more break-outs. The dermatologist has the best solutions, but I think you should stay away from powders and anything that will clog pores. I would also use only foundation that is specifically for acne prone skin. Clean as gently as possible, to avoid irritating pores further. Also I read this info.
"If you wear makeup or sunscreen, make sure it's labeled "oil free," "noncomedogenic," or "nonacnegenic." This means it won't clog your pores and contribute to acne. And when you are washing your face, be sure you take the time to remove all of your makeup so it doesn't clog your pores.
If you use hair sprays or gels, try to keep them away from your face, as they can also clog pores. If you have long hair that touches your face, be sure to wash it frequently enough to keep oil away. And if you have an after-school job that puts you in contact with oil — like in a fast-food restaurant or gas station, for example — be sure to wash your face well when you get home. It can also help to wash your face after you've been exercising.
Many over-the-counter lotions and creams containing salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide are available to help prevent acne and clear it up at the same time. You can experiment with these to see which helps. Be sure to follow the instructions exactly — don't use more than you're supposed to at one time (your skin may get too dried out and feel and look worse) and follow any directions to see if you're allergic to it first."
