A non-oily one. I'm not sure of a product at the moment but there's lot out there. These are better as the oil doesn't block up your pores like the sebum excreted from your skin does naturally.The last thing you want to do is add more oil.
I use foundation most days and have terrible spots on my chin. And I've used all manner of things to get rid of them (prescribed and non-prescribed)-but they don't bugde and so I have to make the best of what I have.
(I use 'L'oreal True Match Foundation' Just looking at their website, its says it has 'non-greasy oils.' I found it to be one of the best for blemished skin because it adjusts to the different colours of it-hence 'True Match' , and it really does work.)
From personal experience, foundation doesn't seem to affect my skin to much. I use a barrier gel (from Superdrug's own line) first, let it dry and then apply foundation. I then apply a darker powder to give a matt finish. And then a lighter one so that I don't look to orange from the darker one. I have to do this as I'm pale-skinned and I would look ridiculous otherwise.
Also, I found that washing my face less often helped. I used to use a gentle exfoliant twice a day and then realised that this was making the problem worse becasue I just kept opening up my pores and irritating them, and so the spots just looked even redder than before. So fianally, I let my self believe what all the webistes and people on TV said-It's not dirt that causes spots, it's oil and sebum. By washing my face, I was drying it out to much as so my skin made more oil to compensate. Viscious circle!
If I go out for night I don't even bother taking my make-up off when I come in-probably the biggest taboo in the make-up world! But to be honest it makes little difference to my skin because I haven't washed my skin in a rush to go to bed and so it's not inflamed. And the barrier gel is still there between my skin and my make-up. Still, I wouldn't reccomend it for anyone else.

No Talc to clog pores and no ingredients to irritate skin. It comes in pressed powder, loose powder and liquid.You can find it at drug stores or places like Wal-mart or Kmart.

Theres a product out called Covermark its a specialised dermatalogical make up and is fantastic for TOTALLY covering up all skin problems. I suffer severely from psoriasis and very dry skin all over my face and have never known about this little miracle till about 2 months ago! Wish i had found out about this long ago. As soon as it's applied you would never know there were any skin imperfections! Trust me, you should try it. It's miracle make up!!!

Go to a department store and ask around on the beauty counters - they will be able to give you samples to take home and see which one suits your skin best. They may be a bit more expensive than say Boots 17, but if you get one that really works, it'll be worth it.

Just make sure you buy a foundation that is oil-free, fragrance free and hypoallergenic!! I really like Mary Kay Foundation and it lasts all day without the drying out of the skin!!

I use a 3in1 foundation called Playsticks by Benefit. It gives good coverage and looks natural. It contains tea-tree and lots of other natural ingredients which sooth and nourish your skin.

Any foundation that says it is oil free. Cover girl has several nice ones and they are inexpensive but very good quality.
