Honestly I use american beauty from Kohls, they are made by estee lauder and blend easier, look/feel good, cost less with same quality. And Flirt! gives more color for eyes,cheek. They are also made from estee lauder which also makes mac (most people do not know this). I use to be a makeup artist for them, and goung the quality is the same for less. All in all better quality not tested on animals, huge color range, lesser priced.

I'm 36 and still get spots, but two years ago, I started using mineral powder foundation, and it really works. It covers the spots up brilliantly, and because it is natural from the ground, it has a sort of healing agent in it, therefore, I find as long as I don't pick them, that my spots are going in half the time they used. Have a look at the following website, they have a wide range of colours to chose from and do sample pots for £1.75.
So if you purchase a sample, make sure you get a colour and the finishing powder.
Seriously it really does work, and its much better for the skin that cream foundation. I can't put that stuff on my face anymore after use mineral powder.
Order today, and you should get it tomorrow or Saturday.

You need to conceal your spots first with a concealer (any make will do) and then select a foundation that is quite oily so that you can apply loose powder on top to cover your blemishes up (any loose powder -will do - try rimmel - the more powder you use the better it will look - choose a light coloured powder i.e neutral as you don't want to look like you have put it on with a shovel.
You can also select foundations for different skin types which may assist you in covering up your blemishes and aid your skin.
A foundation brush is good as well because you can apply it evenly and heavier where needed.
Hope this helps

Max factor lasting performance, its great for covering spots and is not too greasy, try ebay where sometimes you can find small sample bottles, which are good to try before you buy the big size. Also if you register with some make-up sites you can get free samples, i know max factor did. Also have you tried Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream for your spots... its the best stuff ever invented! It works for loads of other things too, it doesnt smell too good though! I would strongly recommend 8 hour cream, cos i have tried everything!

Try Lancome Color ID, it is fantastic and gives really good long lasting coverage, or Estée Lauder Double Wear, which is also very good, not sure of the prices, but I'm sure they wouldn't be over £20. You could always go to the counter and ask for a sample so you are certain you like it before you buy.

First thing you need to do is try and clear your spots not cover them up. cleanse, tone and moisturise with the new Aloe Vera range from The Body Shop, and apply one of their fantastic new range of foundations or tinted moisturisers, they have an oil free balancing foundation with SPF 15. Go into the shop or your local consultant can help as you can try before you buy!!!

Go into one of the larger department stores and ask one of the beauty girls to find your perfect match they will be able to help you get the right colour and cover. Dior is great but costs £22 a bottle, I usually wait till there is a promotion on and get some freebies too.

I use clinique superbalanced foundation which is really good for covering spots up. It's around £16 from boots and other chemists. I'd also advise going along and speaking to one of the staff at the clinique counter they will give you advise on clearing up and improving your skin.

hi
you need a good concealer to dab onto the spots 1st then apply your foundation, depending on your skin colour different makes of makeup but id go a shade darker for overage and mix with a lighter shade to take your eyes off the problem areas.. once you get used to mixing it you'll be perfect xxx
Hope this helps xxx
