| Ladies I need help. I don't like my current makeup and I need something new but don't want to spend over $20 so I will be primarily shopping at Walmart lol. I am currently using mary Kay and hate it. Sorry Mary Kay. But it sinks into my pores and wrinkles (Im only 27) and I didn't think that should happen. I also like makeup that has some spf in it since im outside so much but I need something smooth and sweat proof at least for a little while. Any advice? Thanks :) |

Location: Kansas | To shrink pores and reduce redness....use pepto-bismol (not even kidding), it actually works.
You'll have to spend a bit more than $20 for a good foundation, I use younique. I've heard really good things about MAC makeup as well.

Location: Mississippi | I just tried the new Loreal Infallible Pro Glow - Usually I just wear a tinted moisturizer but when I want to look a little more presentable I really like it. A little goes along way in coverage. |

| Im open for $25 if it is really good lol.
I don't use a lot of makeup. I don't like looking totally different so I don't cake it on. I too sometimes just use powder or a BB cream but I do like to wear regular stuff sometimes during the weekend and always to work. |

Location: Lost in the corn of Iowa. | I've switched to Rimmel stay matte foundation, primer and powder. The foundation is like $6, the primer is $8 and the powder is $5. I love it and it looks and lasts as well as the higher end stuff like Urban Decay or Sephora products. And you can get all this at walmart. |

Thanks :) I"m sorry you aren't happy with your MK - my first question to you would be - since I am MK consultant - and it was always my focus,
is what is your skin care program to help reduce your pore size and to help soften the lines? Skin care is the canvas upon which all the makeup sits - MK does have a moisturizer w/ SPF in it, in case you have not been told.
What type of skin do you have?

Location: Oklahoma | you get what you pay for. That being said. I use the clinique skin care system (soap, eye makeup remover, clarifying lotion, moisturizer). I also use Clinique foundation (Stay true - oil free) and loose powder. I use MAC blush and clinique and bare minerals eye shadow. Eyeliner is Maybeline and mascara is Clinique. My makeup lasts me about 5-6 months before I have to replace. Very little break outs. It's worth paying for quality make up. |

| Are you looking for a liquid type foundation or just a powder foundation?
I use a daily moisturizer with spf 15 or more. I rotate between the neutrogena healthy skin and the Olay regenerist.
I use the clinique invisible blend powder and have for many years. I'm blessed with good skin genes and don't need coverage. It's lightweight and doesn't "settle"
It's approximately 22-24 dollars whether you get the compact or loose. I get the loose and it lasts for a long time. |

I have the Primer with SPF in it, but when I use that on top of my moisturizer it starts to like peel off. I wash my face at night and then use a clean and clear 2 in 1 moisturizer and then I use a night cream. Then in the mornings I use the clean and clear again and a day cream. I have normal skin I guess, it never gets dry (since I keep it moisturized) and it has never really been oily. |

Location: MD | Make sure you use a primer so it doesnt sink into your pores. No matter what foundation you use, you should use a primer. |

Im looking for a liquid or Liquid matte type stuff, I have always used loose powder on top of whatever foundation I use. I currently have Mearle norman? |

| I LOVE BareMinerals. Yes, it's pricey but a little bit goes a long way and I buy makeup maybe twice a year. Great for skin...if you accidently sleep in it, no big deal. Not greasy or pore clogging. |

The one I use is the Bye Bye Foundation. I love it and the fact that it is spf 50. I have only used the Hello lashes but I'll have to try the Superhero mascara. Always in search of better mascara. |

Location: Northwest | I've used Clinique for 13 years and love it. I thought I'd change things up and try Younique (I liked it but didn't love it) so I'm back to using Clinique. I have very sensitive skin so good quality makeup is a must for me. I also think a primer is important. |

| I am fixing to start using a different day cream so maybe it wont peel off like the other stuff I was using and I can use my primer. Is there anything else I should be doing to minimize pores? My whole family has huge pores so idk if there is really anything that can be done about that :( |

What kind of Clinique do you use? I had some Clinique one time but I don't remember what kind it was but I didn't love it. Of course the girl that helped me buy it put it on me and it looked good but when I got home I realized it was because she used it like icing on a cake lol so it didn't look as good when I did it. |
