Hello!

I'm new on this forum, and I'm new on makeup in general.

The only experience I have is one time I went to Sephora, to get some makeup because I was going to a wedding and I wanted to look nice haha

So, to throw it out, I have very pale skin (I like it that way) with some redness around my nose (which is my first concern) and some acne scars (only discoloration)

My face tends to get very oily and I use to sweat around my nose and mouth area (when it's hot outside) also my skin is sensitive, so not all makeup works on me... I've only used mineral makeup, which was the Sephora lady recommendation.

Afters this short introduction to my skin, I want to say that I've only used powder, no concealer, no primer, nothing.

I only own a bareminerals powder foundation and some red lipstick.

I want to try liquid fundation, because I like the dewy look, but I don't know if it will feel like I have a mask on...

I think I have a pretty clear skin, so I'm only concerned about the discoloration, I don't have acne, or scars, or wrinkles...

I just want to have nice one color skintone haha

What do you recommend me?

I know you need to set the liquid foundation with some powder, but I want a very light coverage that doesn't make my face matte...

I'm sorry if I'm asking to much, I just have a very small knowledge off makeup (I follow some youtube gurus and that's all).

 
I just tried a sample of the Urban Decay Naked skin foundation and it's really nice. It's really light. I used it with the Urban Decay primer and the result was great. Have you tried BB or CC creams? They are like tinted moisturizers but with skin care benefits but they also offer a bit more coverage than just tinted creams. They also don't feel heavy which I like. I use BB creams on most days when I'm lazy with my makeup and just need my skin to look nice even color without looking like I have makeup on. I paired with a cream blush for some color and a simple eye makeup. Sometimes I don't even use powder to set the make up and it's still fine.

 
Thank you!

I haven't tried any bb or cc cream... But I like the idea, since I moisturize everyday...

Do they come with uv protection?

I'm interested in makeup that enhances my paleness, so do you recommend me looking at the asian/k-beauty forums? haha

Yes BB and CC creams usually have SPF in them as well. Dr. Jart is a good brand. Many K-beauty lines have them. Covergirl and many other drugstore lines have them too.

 
Try Bourjois CC cream, it has SPF, and there are shades for pale skin as well.. I use it daily, just because it doesn't feel heavy on my face, and it covers that tiny imperfections ( like you described you need) . Hope it works! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
