Sephora girls... help

MAC discontinued my concealer.  (I hate you MAC)  I sent DH to pick some up for me (because he's super nice and works at a mall w/ a MAC counter & Sephora) and they gave him something else that was "close" to it but it has silicone in it, so I'm returning it because silicone makes me break out.  I need something w/ very full coverage for super oily skin.  My skin is freaking out on me right now, I'm covered w/ huge painful deep zits (including one the size of a dime that would make Busy proud).  I'm hormonal and zitty- not a good combo Cry

Of course, I don't have time to drive out to the mall that has a Sephora so I'll have to guess on color.  These were two that I'm looking at trying out...

Please give me suggestions.  Drugstore makeup doesn't hold up on this skin.

    i use MAC's tinted moisturizer as foundation so i can't recommend that lol.

    i have used stilla products in the past and they've always been great. not sure how "full" the full coverage is though. i used to use the clinique stuff and it was great. i also have issues with foundations causing breakouts, which is why i went to the moisturizer, but i never had an issue with the clinique products. maybe give them a try?

    and i'm not sure if sephora carries them but in one of my makeup trials larua mercier \full coverage foundation was used. i was very light feeling for being full coverage. so maybe see if you can find a counter for her stuff.

    I would check out bobbi brown. I have the product to go under concealer and it's good. I don't wear concealer anywhere but undereye circles so I can't vouch for an actual concealer, but I have a silicone free BB foundation (silicone breaks me out too - I avoid it like cash bars).

    would wearing an oil free primer help a lighter makeup stay in place? my skin is oily, and i use bare essentials - i do look shiny later in the day, but it usually holds up pretty well.

    I would recommend Laura Mercier or Bobby Brown honestly.  Even Makeup Forever would provide great coverage.  I would honestly ask one of the associates in a Sephora as they should be well versed on what to buy.

    I second Makeup Forever. What about Lancome Macquicomplet? Also, makeupalley.com. You have to register, but the don't send you 50 emails a week.
