Mineral Concealer

Alright, so I've never been overly makeup savy and have mostly always stuck to just using eyemakeup but because of my recent breakouts i've decided to venture into the realm of concealer / foundations. The trouble is that I have no idea where to begin!

I don't want anything that'll make my skin break out even worse and I need something EXTREEMLY pale for my very white skin. While I'm willing to dish out the big bucks if absolutely necesary, I'd rather not ( )

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance girlies

(P.S. It's my first official post on Cupcake Mafia! Wewt!)

i use bareminerals and love it! i use the "fairly light" shade. i think there's one or maybe two shades that are lighter, but i have pretty pale skin. it goes on very light and doesn't feel cakey, and apparently doesn't clog pores (i don't really have many breakouts, so i don't know). it covers EVERYTHING! i looovve it! i don't really know how much it costs, but i can say that in my opinion, its worth it. it doesn't sweat off and basically makes you look like you're ...well... bare! highly recommended!

if you're prone to constant breakouts like me, try a powder foundation. because the edge of my face is darker than the middle, I use VERY LITTLE tinted moisurizer/foundation where I need it, concealer around my nose and on my bridge [thanks for the dark spots, glasses], then I use a flat blusher/bronzer brush to buff the powder foundation in my skin. I use MAC's studio fix - its worth the $26 american!

you may want to opt for tinted moisturizer [there's no way you can mess it up!], and for the perfect shade, try CG Smoothers SPF 15 in Fair to Light.
my friend Courtnee is extremely pale, and its perfect for her skin. she doesnt like a lot of face makeup, so its perfect for her. I use Mark.



as of a full foundation, I like CG's Trublend liquid foundation. the Trublend Whipped foundation is great too [if Im correct, thats the one Meggles uses].





my friend courtnee likes CG Smoothers foundation, which is what I would prefer for you because once again, its great for her pale skin:



haha, I know its a lot of CG, but they really have THE best foundation when you want so save money. bareminerals gets a lot of rave reviews, and, like studio fix, is basically a powder foundation, so that's worth a shot, too.

and concealer...well, its all about personal preference. do you want a thick one, or a thin one? heavy coverage or light? once you get your basics figured out, like foundation and powder, you can delve deeper into concealer and blushers, and even bases.

hope I helped!

I just got the bare minerals kit and it comes with both light and fairly light so you get the right shade. Its expensive but totally worth it. Seriously.
