Bare Minerals Foundation OR Bare Minerals Mineral Veil. It's a tie.
It's expenisve ($25) but they work MIRACLES. I love the foundation because its so light and looks like you are wearing nothing, but covers up my redness and acne like it was never there. If I wear nothing else, its that...and a little goes a long way, so its not like you dont get the best bang for you buck.
The mineral veil, which is the same price, basically makes your face look poreless and flawless. It's a translucent powder that has JUST minerals in it. You can even put it on to sleep in, and it'll make your skin look better. I've been using the stuff for months, and people say that my skin looks 100% different. Many of them didn't even know what I was doing to look different, just that I looked amazing.
Yep, those are my two!
My ProActive would be a close third, however. It helps with acne, and keeps my skin moisturized and clear. I've been using it since I was 11 (so almost 6 years), and I don't think I could go more then a week without it.
You should give both the Bare Minerals AND the ProActive (if you have acne) a try.
But I bet you look beautiful no matter what you wear, or don't wear, or how much it cost or how cheap it was. Make-Up is great...but it's the person who it's on that makes it look so fabulaous.

BARE ESCENTUALS! :)
It is AMAZING - it looks like your skin has no makeup. You won't break out with it on - you can even sleep with it on (not that I recommend it) Just try it - also there should be a how-to dvd in the kit. I've seen it at Ulta - those kits usually sell out. It should come with Warmth (which isn't a bronzer - but it does give you that outdoorsy look) So far the stuff is amazing, I've converted almost all the ladies that I work with to use Bare Minerals. If you don't like it - check with Ulta on their money-back policy. I highly think that you will not need to return it. It has been the best investment that I've made on this makeup - and it DOES NOT Expire! I've been using it for 2 years and I wish I had started when I was your age - because who knows what sort of effect that the chemicals in foundations and pressed cosmetics has had on my skin.
As for the color that you choose - make sure you have an Ulta personnel help you out. The colors are pretty forgiving - so if you tan easily in the summer, the color you choose will still work - just make sure to blend on your neck. Good luck and I know you will turn into a believer!

My favorite brand is Body Shop. Thier make-up is so creamy and feels so soft and smooth on my skin, I feel that as my skin gets older I need to treat it to something special, I also like the idea that I am using a product that has not been tested on animals and is good for the planet as well as helping communities to make a living (community trade). I also use The Body Shop Body Butters every day, I went away in June of this year and this morning I was asked how I kept my tan!The Body Shop Body Butters. I have had not sun since June as I live and work in Manchester, England where it is known for rainfall! cloudy and overcast today!

I am a little embarrassed to say it, but I really love Mary Kay. Most ppl associate that brand with older women, but I am a loyal customer. I have 2 jumbo compacts, and 3 of the smaller compacts for carrying in my purse.

Avon-I like the way it feels and the variety. Plus Avon is now selling so much more than makeup. Mark from Avon is great too.

Arbonne, of course! Alot of the other brands have toxic levels of chemicals and use animal products and by-products. And the Arbonne line uses proprietary formulations to help minimize the signs of aging. Every Arbonne product I use makes my skin feel healthier everytime I use it!!

Chambor and MAC for color cosmetics - they have great colors for all skin tones and very good quality, Avon and Bodyshop for skin care- they arent exorbitantly priced, very effective products and non-comodogenic (doesnt clog pores)

I have tried many from cheap to expensive and I have to say MAC for colors like eyeshadow and blush because they last all day and Shiseido for foundation because it doesnt irritate my skin.
