Answer 1

MAC do lots of good foundations. And the staff give really good advice and tips.
You said your in Scotland, me too.
Harvey Nics in Edinburgh have a mac counter. Think there is 1 in Glasgow, not sure where else though. :)

Answer 2

The new Cover Girl TruBlend Whipped Foundation is silky smooth and feels light as a feather compare to using a foundation that felt heavy and caked on. It has silicone elastomers, long chains of silicone molecules that leave tiny gaps in the finish to let your skin's natural tone shine through, while hiding imperfections. Like the rest of the TruBlend family, the 12 shades easily match 97% of skin tones with innovative pigments. The sleek glass container lets you apply it with a dip of a finger.

I have acne scars and uneven skin tone. I tried everything and the best one is Elizabeth Arden Flawless Finish. It comes in a bottle for every day and in a compact with a sponge for heavier long lasting wear for nights out. If you can't afford it (£18 for the bottle) then Max Factor Lasting Performance is great at giving full coverage but a little chalkier than the Elizabeth Arden one.

I have just switched to Mac. You may not need to use a full coverage foundation as they are very thick and usually make the problem worse. I used to think I needed a full coverage foundation but this new Mac one is only medium coverage and it is amazing! I look airbrushed everyday regardless of what my skin is doing!

Answer 5

I had the same problem when I was younger. I tried EVERY foundation I could find. I asked my dermatologist and she told me to use Almay's foundtations. It's light and has good coverage, and it won't make your skin worse, it acctually heals blemishes while you wear it. I still use it, it works great! You can try it out and if it doesn't work out for you keep trying new things! Only you know what works best for you!

There a few that are great for what you are looking for and when you get a chance to ought to go to the mall in Macys or Dillards and check out the different makeup counters..I suggest the following and they can help you find what you are seeking instead of the drug store and you have to try it when you get home

MAC
Prescriptives
Bare Essentials

Answer 7

are you in the UK? If so Perscriptives is the way forward. Available in larger Boots and Dept stores. They match the colour to your regular skin tone. It's not heavy - but makes anyone's skin look radiant, and totally gets rid of the dreaded blotch!

Answer 8

go to www.dermacia.com they have good makeup with full coverage but also lets your skin breathe. Also feels like you have none on. Having a special right now, shipping cost only for a three month supply. Best of luck...........

I'm a beautician and i would say pay a visit to a good salon, may be pricey but you ll save in the long run.. get a skin analysis done and a good facial and they will be able to tell you better every1s skin is different ..i could tell you a brand that my skin agrees with ,me having the same problem , but it may not agree with you .

good luck chick xo

top tips for killer spots that you can't cover, put a faint covering of any foundation on your face and then to hide the spots put a tiny blob on the area and rub the sides in, it looks like you've rubbed it all and then put a powder on top , trust me it works, but just remember to never leave make-up on at night and about twice a week use a face mask to toughen your skin ;) hope ive helped
