Foundation Quandary  
I've been experimenting with every kind of foundation you can think of: powder, liquid, etc. My problem is my skin is oily, I have acne (ugh, I thought I was over the acne thing when I was a teenager. How wrong I was!), and I am starting to see deep pores, and of course, I have the whole eye bag thing going on. I like the powder foundation, such as Bare Escentuals, but it doesn't cover enough of my problem areas. As far as liquid foundation, ugh, what can I say? It covers MOST of my flaws, but not all. I have to buy oil-free makeup, but alas, as soon as I do the whole moisturizer - foundation - concealer - powder thing, my face starts looking very distorted in color. Plus, with the oily skin thing, it makes my foundation start to break down immediately.


Any recommendations as to foundations I should try? I'm at my wits end trying to keep everything covered.

Youngblood mineral powders own me.
I could never wear a foundation before, they either felt too clogged up, dripped off me as I sweated or vanished as I watched.
This covers imperfections without feeling like I'm even wearing it, and at the end of the day it's still there.
Apply with a sponge or brush in circular motion. (I like the brush - a foundation brush not a blusher brush). If you use moisturiser in the morning I'd apply it as long before putting the makeup on as possible. I did a course recently which advised cleansing at night only, moisturise after cleaning and simply wash face in morning before putting on makeup.
