My favorite bronzer that doesn't make my angry troll skin worse is the NARS bronzer in Casino. It's quite pricey, but it's the best I've stumbled upon.

My support is also behind the CeraVe aswell. I began using it when Retin-A .1% made my skin look borderline like a shredded coconut. Even though the Retin-A has stopped, I still use it to this day. It's great underneath make-up and I can easily put a primer on top without making the primer "ball up." 

I use both the MUFE HD foundation and MUFE Mat Velvet foundations. Love them both in the coverage department too.

However, they aren't my favorite. My favorite everyday foundation that gets the job done even better is Revlon Colorstay liquid foundation for Oily/combo skin. You should definitely check it out. It's full coverage, will keep you matte, won't irritate your skin, and won't break the bank. 

It depends if you're planning to wear it alone or under foundation. If it's alone and it's too light, then people will be able to see you're wearing concealer. They will be able to see the contrast between your true skintone and a circle of "lighter" skin. 

If you're planning to wear it under foundation, then it's not a problem. Make-up artists recommend getting a concealer that is a bit lighter than you're natural skintone as opposed to darker. If it's light you can just cover it up with your liquid and/or powder foundation. That will help neutralize the contrast. 

I've heard great things about Ben Nye products. I hope it is the correct shade for you! 

I was on Differin .3% sometime ago. I remember the IB was worse for me than compared to my Retin-A IB experience. Just stick with it Differin takes quite some time to bear any results. I remember my dermatologist used to tell me to wait like 3 months. I hope it works for you!
