Foundation help needed!!

[Rose]

Is it ok to wear foundation and powder when you have really bad skin? It covers it well, but it also blocks pores and makes it worse!! Any tips?

Buy a foundation that is formulated to your skin type, you might have to spend a little more on it but its well worth it. (same with powder)
Also get a foundation base i.e moisturizer that will base your foundation from absorbing into your skin. If you have oily skin go with a matte base on all above. Let me Know.

hmmm.....there was a time when I really had a bad skin.....I had many pimples....I tried to cover it but Im not satisfied, becoz it looked so rough.....so I decided to medicate my skin first, n during the medication I never wear makeup, just loose powder, becoz my derm didn't allowed me to wear the pressed one.....now, if I feel my skin is tired n dull n lifeless or had a bit pimples....I absolutely stay away from makeup(unless I have a date ).....I let my skin to take a rest while I tried to give it more supplies by using the receipes I've got here or treating my pimples (if I have any)....n in few days I will be able to wear makeup again

n I thought that it would be better if u dont use any makeup when u have skin problems like pimple or anything that can be worse becoz of makeup aplication unless we have a special occasion to go n u really need to look the best....n if occasionally u wanna wear make up....use the one that non-irritating, non-acnegenic....and other non-blablabla things , n suitable for your skin type, n dont forget to clean it...n maybe u can wear tinted moisturizer.....it wont be too heavy for your skin n it's enough to give a sheer camouflage.....

I don't think foundation makes your skin worse. I actually think it makes my skin healthier in some weird way.

A tinted moisturizer is the last thing your skin could handle. It has too many oils and will make your skin ever worse. (It is basically a foundation with a heavy moisturizer in it) these are normally worn by women that have dry or normal skin. Pls don't add to you problems.

You should apply your concealer (with a small, synthetic-haired brush--a lip brush will do the trick) AFTER you apply your foundation. Before you apply your foundation, though, try applying a thin layer of Joey NY's Pore Minimizing Serum. This serum will prevent further breakouts, hydrate your skin without being at all oily/greasy and will prevent shiny skin.
