bad skin....bad make up

[RonaldosDub]

ok, so ive been using the loreal true match minerals the past while and it goes on so quickly and easily and gives great coverage, but after an hour or 2 it goes so powdery and flaky and my face looks all wrinkled and cracked.

so i need a new foundation....are there any good 1s you'd recommend? I'm prone 2 a few spots so i wouldn't have the best skin and i defo need a good foundation 2 cover up!!

I love the mineral make up but don't really like the powder ones, so i discovered that Mac do a liquid one, and I've been using it lately.

It is a very light coverage and goes on quite dewey, but another layer would give you a better coverage, and it is still good for your skin

Try Bare Escentuals mineral foundation. It doesn't look powdery on the skin (if it does you've used too much). It has good coverage and claims to be good for your skin. Their bisque concealer is great too for any blemishes that need a bit more coverage.

I use it all the time and it's excellent. To find out more, do an eBay search as most listings give information on what the products do.

Have you tried exfoliating regularly, and using a good moisturiser day and night? I used to get the same problem, but it seems to have stoped being "flakey" now.

I try not to wear foundation all the time, but do use Boots No. 7 stuff in a green tube (it's green!) to make you look like you have a more clear blotch-free complexion.

go to Clinique and ask for their skin test, they will see what the problem is and recommend the right 3 step regime for you
