A great inexpensive foundation and concealer in 1 is called ONE BASE, and it's from a company called CARGO. It's about $22. You can buy it at Sephora or sephora.com. You can mix it with a bit of moisturizer to make it a sheer foundation, and then use it "full strength" as a concealer. If you apply it with a foundation brush (I bet Sonia Kashuik makes a great one, available at Target for pretty cheap) you can use 30% less of the product to get the same amount of coverage. You said that your skin is "olive type", so I would try shade 03. If that's a bit too light, you can always use a bit of bronzing powder after you apply. Another product to try, for pretty cheap, if my favorite drug store concealer, Revlon's COLOR STAY. It really does stay, and the coverage is amazing! The colors seem a bit darker than they really are in the tube, so if you're skin is olive-type, you'll need at least a shade lighter than shade 02 - Sand. Good luck!

I like maybelline also. Find a long lasting foundation, then a apply the concealer on top of it. Don't put the concealor on first because the foundation will move it and it won't provide any coverage for imperfections. Finish with a pressed powder.

MAC make-up is really good, also precriptives if you go to the makeup counter you can ask for a buildable foundation..which means it goes on pretty sheer, but you can make it has heavy as you like when you need a little more coverage, and on days you don't need the extra coverage don't use as much..kinda like nail polish the darker you want the color the more coats you apply! and the lighter the less coats you apply! and you shouldn't need a concealer! good luck

Check out Physician Formulas' foundations and concealers. Since you are acne prone, look for the oil free ones.

I.D. Bare Minerals.
THE BEST EVER FOR ANY TYPE OF SKIN! It looks natural and doesn't clog your pores or leave your face feeling heavy or cakey. It was THE foundation that plenty of celebrities use and is quite affordable.

It's a Maybelline foundation called "Wonder Finish" it works for covering up, but still stays light and isn't cakey! Try it!
