I've tried many, none worked. They were either too heavy, or so light I doubt they did anything. The tinted moisturizer from Sephora did wonders for my skin.

Maybe a birthday present? They can show you simple tricks you would never have thought of.<br /><br />I second the advice about rosacea - get it checked if you can. There are things you can use to minimize the breakouts, and if you let it go untreated it can make you more and more red. Ask me how I know....<br /><br />I'm straight (AFAIK) but still struggle with the femme thing. It was easier when I was younger. Now that I'm middle-aged and look it, it's hard to get excited about dressing up like someone's mom. Or grandma.

Be very careful about sun protection now and when you are 40 you will be glad you did.<br /><br />I agree with greg about the foundation and powder. Tinted moisturizer is fine for me most days, with just a touch of powder on my nose to cut down shine--and I'm 36. If you go to Sephora, have a salesperson assist you with finding the right products.Christinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9115204490851690008.post-10181947223084591662009-06-05T10:57:32.936-04:002009-06-05T10:57:32.936-04:00how gorgeous! i *love* the pink hair.

I have really pink cheeks (not in the rosy pink cute way) because of what might be rosacea and I'm really prone to breakouts. I never was when everyone ELSE was in middle school, but I am now! <br /><br />But still, I like the idea of a tinted moisturizer. I will check that out. Thank you! And we now have a Sephora in the mall, where I will be this afternoon.

Second, don't use foundation b/c you don't need it. You are young and have gorgeous skin from what I can tell. Use a tinted moisturizer with an spf 15. It will even out your skin w/o drying it and it will protect you from some sun damage. I use Clinique Moisture Sheer Tint SPF 15 in Neutral shade(I am light like you but you might be lighter). You can find it at Sephora.<br /><br />You can get some makeup tips here:<br />http://www.makeuptip.com/<br /><br />I hope that helps a bit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
