foundation help again!

Alrighty so my wedding is a month away and I want to do my own make-up which I am confident that I can do no problem. However I generally do not wear a foundation but I tend to get pink and red easily and a little shiney which I definitely don't want for my pics. I have been to a couple of makeup counters figuring I can invest in some "prestige" foundation, I have tried makeup forever, benefit, smashbox and bare minerals. With all of them I have started to get itchy after a couple of hours... first I was hoping that my face was just not use to it and it was getting dried out. However I am assuming I am now having an allergic reaction to it.
Has anyone out there had the same issue but found a makeup that works for them?

Re: foundation help again!

  • I definitely have a problem with turning red when I'm emotional, and I also have pretty touchy skin.

    I'm not sure how much coverage you need, but if you don't need a ton, I use Almay Smart Shade Smart Balance (the pressed powder, not the liquid) foundation. It does it's job to even my skin tone and it has absolutely no shine. I'm by no means a make-up guru, but this is what I use every day and I love it.

    I hope you find something that works for you!! Good luck!
