THeres also estee lauder. they are right next to each other in my mall so idk which one to buy since they are SO expensive! i need to know which is worth my money more! thanks

Answer 1

I used it and didn't like it. The texture is really greasy (to me) and I thought it wore off easily. I worked for Clinique and absolutely HATED the clarifying makeup. Next time you go to the mall ask about Clinique Superfit foundation. It is made for oily skin, doesn't come off easily, and helped even my skin out. As far as the cysts underneath your skin....try Clinique Acne bar soap. It's only about $10 and is a MIRACLE! It really helped clear up my acne. Use the clairfying lotion, too, and within 1 week you'll notice a huge difference in you skin. The foundation is about $25, the soap is $10, and a small bottle of toner is $10. Good luck! :)

Answer 2

Clinique makeup is very bad for your skin, and may even contribute to your acne. Their claims about being hypoallergenic are false. It's the only makeup I've ever worn that's caused me to break out, and it took two months for the rash it gave me to go away.

Teinte Idole Ultra is an outstanding makeup. It will cover all of your acne and even out your skin tone, and it will last all day and night. I own it, so I know what I'm talking about. This makeup can be tricky, though. It's a full coverage foundation and it's long-wearing, so you have to apply it with your fingers and blend and blend and blend. The results are worth it.

Estee Lauder is another favorite brand of mine, but I have not worn their foundation. Since all of the products I do use by Estee Lauder are amazing, I'm sure their foundation is as well.

Since you have breakouts, I would suggest you go to Sephora or Ulta and purchase the starter kit for Bare Minerals. I wear this foundation more than any other now, and it is a miracle, just like the ads on TV say. For years I've had a pitted acne scar on my cheek that I hate, and the Bare Minerals foundation cleared up my skin and almost eliminated that scar too. It's almost invisible now. The makeup coverage is natural, and you will have to build it up to get full acne coverage. This product line takes practice to get used to, so you might not like it, but I think it's worth the trouble it takes to learn.

Another great makeup line that covers acne perfectly and evens out your skin perfectly is Bobbi Brown. Her makeup is very easy to apply, has full coverage and is natural looking. However, it can be oily. It won't make your face break out, but you will get shiny.

Tazorac cream is really good, it has to be perscribed my a doctor though. I would try Laura Mercier Oil Free SPF Tinted Moisturizer and use a pressed powder over that. All of those foundations can only make your face worst. But if your going to spend the money, buy Chanel oil free foundation. It's the best quality foundation out there. It may cost more, but you will benefit more.
