Help! I have fairly nice skin ( I'm 15 years old) just with a few lightly reddish areas, so I want a light foundation, ideally just a tinted moisturizer. But every time I go into a pharmacy ( my price range is pharmacy style, no more then $25, i think) there's just so many brands and types and shades that I am completely overwhelmed and leave frustrated, and still with a blotchy face. Any help you can give my regarding brands, types, matching a colour to your face and application would be HUGELY appreciated. Thanks so much. P.S It has to be sold in Canada.

My suggestion is that you go to a department store and let them do a make over on you. There for you can get a free make over and some tips on what you can use with there products. Then you just go a store where you can afford it and you purchase it at a cheaper price.

I think Cover-Girl is one of the best foundations on the market and the price can't be beat. Look at Christie Brinkley, she actually wears the products she promotes. At your age it would probably be best to wear no make-up at all. You can use a concealer for blemishes and finish off the look with some light powder. If you do decide to go with a make-up, be sure its light, not heavy and ask for help if you want an opinion.

I know it's sold online in Canada, but I don't know if you have the counters...but Prescriptives is the best thing I've found. I'm very very fair and my nose and cheeks get red and I hate it. Prescriptives Blue/Red covers it nicely without the foundation turning too pink later in the day.
If you don't have access to precriptives, look for something specifying blue/red undertones!

A nice inexpesive way to do it is to put lotion on your face then immedately put powder on. It is light and the lotion makes the powder stick to your face nicely. I would try just powder first though. That is all I use and I don't really have blemishes it is more just pinkish in some areas and white in others.

Your still really young so try a powder not a foundation. Cover girl blends in really well and it fits into your budget. Good luck!
