Skincare products??? I’ve always dealt with the occasional bump or breakout here and there, but that was it. And I didn’t even have a good skincare routine. BUT within the last 5-6 months everything has changed. I’ve been on low estrogen birth control for over a year and that hasn’t affected my skin. Last summer I started using It cosmetics cc cream and thought it might be causing breakouts so I stopped and went to tarte. My entire face stays broke out with deep and often painful bumps no matter what I do. I drink tons of water. I wash my face religiously. I have no idea what to do. Please send some advice/products my way

What's your favorite primer?

@Photo Finish Primerizer It’s super hydrating and helps makeup go on F L A W L E S S L Y. There’s just nothing like it! I’m already running out but I’ll definitely be repurchasing it. Wish it came in a bigger size.

Foundation for pale, dry skin So I've had a really good experience with the Maybelline FitMe Dewy + Smooth foundation, but during the winter it's just too dark for me, and I can't find a lighter color. I tried the IT Cosmetics Your Face but Better foundation and it is a lovely, lovely formula, but way too dark for my very very fair skin. I also tried the Burt's Bees goodness glows foundation and it's just downright terrible. Any suggestions?

I have the same issue finding a foundation that’s pale enough - especially in the winter. I’m currently using the Fenty foundation - which IS light enough - but I’m not sure I would recommend it for dry skin. It seems to cling to texture. If you’re looking for drugstore makeup, the Covergirl Clean foundation was amazing for my skin but the color didn’t match me too well. I hope you find something! I know your struggle all too well!
