Looking for liquid foundation, help!

[pnailocano]

MAC studio fix fluid was the first foundation I fell in love with and I used it for a while until my skin broke out really bad, which left me with pitted scars

. From then on I decided to switch to mineral make up which I currently love because the coverage is great and it looks like I'm not wearing any make up

My current dilemma is that the mineral make that I love so much is now giving me sinus irritation due to all of the loose powder, so now I'm searching for a liquid foundation that has awesome coverage, looks somewhat flawless on acne scarred skin, and can handle my oily, and break out prone skin. My skin has also gotten considerably lighter so I'm having trouble finding the right color :/ I need some guidance, any help would be much appreciated.
Here are some pictures that may help:





This one is in front of the window.

I'm specifically looking for color recommendations for Mac, MUFE, Revlon colorstay, and sally hansen natural beauty.

BUT I'll take any foundation recommendation as well.

I tend to break out with all of MAC's foundations, so I don't have any recs for that.

I really like MUFE's Mat Velvet Liquid Foundation though. It hasn't caused me to break out and offers pretty good coverage, and is helpful for oily skin. I think you might be #35 (Vanilla) or #40 (Natural Beige)

a lot of the times people break out from foundation because

1. they are not cleaning their skin well enough from the daytime makeup and sleep with residue which lead to congested skin

2. their tools (brushes) are not being cleaned frequently enough

especially when you are acne prone, you gotta make sure everything is clean as possible. so i reccommend addressing the problems first. i love Lush's coal face soap bar at night which really cleans my skin and use a toner that doesnth ave too much alcohol in it with a clean cotton pad to wipe off the rest of the residue. and try to wash your brushes often.

i would go back to mineral makeup if i were you. use fix+ spray and spritz your buki and then swirl it in loose mineral makeup and buff onto your face. this will hopefully help you with the sinus problem. i personally love silk natural's heavy coverage. you get to mix it yourself so you could always adjust the shade with your skintone. its very acne-friendly and doesnt contain bismuth oxychloride that can irritate skin. their finishing powders are quite nice too. and you could sample their green concealer for reddness

hope that helps a bit!

Thank you for the recommendation and useful information!

I really do love my mineral make up and I remember watching a youtube video where the girl used Fix + with her minerals, so I will definitely look into that. I was wondering if the spray changes the consistency of the minerals when you apply it or does it end up all the same? As for Lush I like how they have organic soaps and I've been planning to purchase products from them.

I was also wondering if you use any primer before your minerals to minimize shine?

I would recommend trying MUFE Face & Body foundation in Ivory 20 or Alabaster Beige 32. You can really layer it on whilst still looking natural. The HD breaks me out, but the F & B doesn't.
