Drugstore / Inexpensive cosmetics and make up for sensitive and acne - prone skin?

I have been using


Revlon Colorstay Liquid makeup


CoverGirl Invisible Concealer


Covergirl Compact Powder


Persa Gel 10


Clearasil Acne wash


Olay regenerist exfoliating wash


Murad Acne spot treatment


* all make-up listed is non-comedogenic


I was fine before when I used acne wash and Benzoyl peroxide cream and then putting on a some of the concealer and some of the powder and foundation, but after a week now, there's some pimples on my nose, and what's worse is the benzoyl peroxide cream (or maybe the spot treatment) dried out my skin, so after a couple of hours of wearing the foundation, I think the foundation aggravated the dryness, and my skin started peeling, almost to the point where it looked liked powder!


Also, my concealer is off from my skin tone, so I have to blend alot, problem is, it isn't a very good concealer, so I have to use quite a bit for it to work.


I also have very bad pore problems on my nose, so I have to use a some type of cream.





Can you recommend some DRUGSTORE concealer and foundation products that won't cause me to break out, that cover up well, and are of good quality?


also note I have Ivory- Fresh Ivory skin.


Thank you! ~ :)Drugstore / Inexpensive cosmetics and make up for sensitive and acne - prone skin?
First work on skin.


If you have great skin, you won't need foundation, and very little cover-up!


Sounds like you have too much 'drying' products in your routine.


1] buy a face wash, sunscreen, and moisturizer for your skin type - sensitive. Be sure ALL PRODUCTS are non-comedogenic and sensitive skin fromula.


2] wash, sunscreen in AM; wash, moisturize in PM


3] exfoliate [ only, NOT with facewash ] face with apricot scrub for sensitive skin twice a week. Exfoliation removes dead skin cells, old oil, and dried sebum that clog pores/cause zits


4] use acne cream or geol on any 'spots' at night.


DON'T use too much acne product - it will dry out your skin, causing flakes, new spots, irritation, etc.


THEN work on makeup. Try:


Almay


Cover Girl


L'oreal


Maybelline


Neutrogena

Im not sure, but maybe when buying it looks for the one that says, oil free or non- comedogenic.
for concealer try neutrogena skin clearing concealer it works great and it contains salicylic acid to help combat your breakouts. Also the neutrogena skin clearing line contains foundation so i would check that out as well. For your skin tone for the concealer you would probably want the one that says ';fair'; cause that is the lightest and you should always try to get concealer that is two shades lighter than your skin tone and for the foundation i would go to the drugstore and look at the different colors, bring your own mirror and try to look at it in natural light. Good Luck!
