Foundations!

[feenypops]

Hey guys,

I need a good recommendation for foundation. I brought MAC Select foundation in shade NW20. However, it broke me out soooo bad. Im now staying away from MAC foundations because im scared of the same thing happening.

Since then, Ive been really sceptical about buying foundations. Ive tried out a few drug store products, one gave me a allergic reaction (Maxfactor) and the others are not giving me the coverage i need - i have breakouts on my chin, especially recently, ive just changed jobs and the stress broke me out!

Im willing to spend a good amount of money on the right foundation, but with so many products out there, I dont know where to start - Im from the UK, so any products like MUFE are really hard to find, so if possible, only foundations which i can find easily!!

Thanks guys, have a good day
xxxx

I would first recommend that you allow your skin to heal before u try any new foundation. Seriously. Personally, I think the pimples are still visible under the makeup, so just sacrifice a bit and when everything is smooth you cover scarring and discoloration.

For acne prone skin (mine) I use MaryKay foundation. It has not broke me out yet! Revlon Colorstay is also good.

MAC foundations are notorious for causing breakouts.

I have never had a breakout from using MAC foundations.

i use the revlon colour stay foundation which you can get in boots for about £11. my old maybelline foundations used to break me out but my skin is very clear now i use this

but yes let your skin heal before you strat trying a different foundation.
