bare minerals. i keep a set around for when my skin acts up and i want to give it a chance to breathe. the only reason i don't wear it on the daily is bc i prefer fuller coverage. but my skin starts to get unhappy with me if i wear too much heavy foundation so i work bare minerals into the rotation every now and then. hope that helps.

My skin tends to get acne prone too sometimes, and I enjoy using Neutrogena Healthy Skin Liquid Foundation. It's more of a sheer coverage, but seems to provide a better coverage than Bare Minerals IMO.

i have acne prone skin and bare minerals has been my best bet so far.
I tried MAC foundation when i got my makeup done there and ohhh man it broke me out SO bad and it felt so greasy and oily
It may work for you but it was bad on me lol

I'm very acne prone and I've had no issues using studio fix or studio fix fluid spf15. In the past, I've also liked Clinique clarifying foundation. Everyone's skin reacts differently, personally, Bare Escentuals broke me out and clogged my pores =(

When I had acne breakouts, I used oil-free Maybelline foundation. I would still use it, but they don't make the lightest color for me in the oil-free. GRRRR. I am one shade lighter than the one they have now. They changed the colors. When they make my shade, I will gladly use it again. Also, I used the oil-free one in Lancome; but once again, they got rid of my shade. ((fighting angry))
Fortunately, I have combination skin now. I use a variety of brands now. Loreal is one of them. I still use oil-free. I never use anything with oil in it.

i have acne-prone skin. i was using studio fix fluid and my skin did NOT like this. i switched to bare minerals and it has improved my skin quite a bit!

When I had bad breakouts just a short while ago, I turned to Natural FX by Cover FX... Never had a problem with it and it offers pretty good coverage. You can really build it up to cover spots, otherwise a little goes a long way. Now I use it primarily as a spot concealer, still doesn't aggrevate my skin. It also has some SPF =)

Studio Fix and Bare Minerals both broke me out. Plus the minerals made my skin itchy and did not give enough coverage.
I'm really like MUFE Face & Body right now. I'm going to try Armani Matte Silk next.

maybelline foundations seem to be good for my skin! every time i try another brand i always break out in a big way. then i go back to maybelline and i'm fine again. i used to love wonder finish which is now dc'd however the dream satin liquid which has just come out is also very good. good coverage but doesn't feel heavy

You should try a tinted moisturizer, it's less heavy on the skin. Whatever you decide to buy, ask for a sample first so you can try it for a few days. We all react differently to foundations so what is great for someone else with acne prone skin might not be the right product for you.
