Now, I'm typically not a drug store go-getter, but I happened to succeed in my search, and discovered Covergirl's spin off on clean, sensitive skin formulas for individualized skin tones. I went over my other options such as the newly released Perfect Match by L'Oreal, but trust Covergirl with their chemical content much more than L'Oreal.
What's the price difference between the Clean foundation sets by Covergirl compared to BareMinerals? A lot! While having a pure mineral-based make up for your healthy skin may be worth the extra bucks for someone in their 20s or 30s that needs repairable skin treatment and can chip in those extra bucks, for a teenager that desires to hide a few red spots without coating their face with crap, they need the bare minimum that will get the job done!
Starting with the foundation (#1), apply as much as you desire, as it is a liquid-base. Then grab one of the cases of pressed powder--depending upon your skin tone and which branch of foundation set you choose ("Clean", among other types) you will either grab the circular container with a brown or green lid (#2). Brush this on over your foundation to smooth the finish. If you're someone like me that does have red spots and the occasional zit, I'd suggest spending an extra few bucks and purchasing some concealer (#3). For my extremely visible birthmark that is bright red and smack-dab in the middle of my chin, I use a stick concealer (instead of liquid) by Physicians Formula.
Foundation and powder start at around $6 a pop, and concealers come in a variety of price ranges and variety of bases. Look around and experiment to find which make up brand is right for you. Less is more, paying more does not mean you will get a award-winning product. I am not afraid to say that Covergirl is doing as much as BareMinerals does to my face for a fraction of the price. No shame here!
