Neutrogena without a doubt
If I do use makeup I use Neutrogena Skin Clearing. It doesn't hide in a thick matter, but it does hide well. Wash your hands before using it, and only apply on pimples rather than ALL over the face. It doesn't clog my pores and I've noticed it dries out the pimple rather quickly. I do not leave it on for more than a couple of hours, and can honestly say it doesn't make me break out after using it. Which I have had other makeup do.

Pros:

-Glass packaging
-Good coverage

Cons:

-Super cakey
-Hard to blend
-Didn't fight acne
-You have to pour the product out- more bacteria can get inside
-Bad Formula
-Skin dries and flakes

This is decent but NOT a good everyday foundation! it looks super cakey and heavy and thick on your face. Whenever i put it on, I feel like I have added another layer of skin on my face.

Pros:

- Easy to apply and seems to blend in well.

Cons:

- Looked terrible after a few hours.
- When it dried, it changed the tint of my skin to an orange hue.

I don't recommend this foundation. If you are trying to go for a natural look and making it seem like you are really not wearing any makeup at all, this is not the way to go.

Pros:

This is the only makeup I've tried that does not induce a breakout. Choose the right shade and it covers acne marks & blemishes beautifully. It looks natural-- like you aren't wearing makeup. Try applying a lighter shade on blemishes first, if needed, then cover with a shade that matches your skin tone.

Cons:

None.

Looks natural, covers flaws well, does not break me out and is reasonably priced.

Pros:

-provided okay coverage

Cons:

-heavy fragrance
-oily feeling
-did not clear skin

I have not used this make-up in a while, but when I did I was very disappointed with it. It had a strong fragrance and felt greasy going on. I also did not notice any reduction in acne; it may have even worsened my complexion to some extent.

Not buildable
Too dark just made my oily skin look like tan on my face. Doesn't cover well.

Every Highschool Girl's Daily Routine
Like a poster below, I also began wearing Neutrogena SkinClearing Foundation in my sophomore year. It is incredibly light! I literally got such positive compliments on my complexion that I felt compelled to admit I was wearing foundation. They did not believe I was wearing foundation! Honestly, though, I can't really tell if it is clearing my skin from acne, but it covers well and I do not believe it is causing any MORE breakouts. One negative against it: it runs dark. I am a tan to olive skinned caucasian and I where the LIGHTEST shade (number 10 - ivory). I had a friend, who has extremely fair skin, for whom the lightest shade foundation in this line and brand did not match at all. So, to conclude, I think this foundation is excellent and highly recommended for high school girl's as a light and natural coverage, however, I do not recommend it for those who are extremely fair skinned. Good luck!

Pros:

full coverage
smells good

Cons:

breakout
doesn't clear

This product worked for me in the way that it was good coverage and blended with my skin tone nicely but it is a little thick. I stopped using this product for awhile, and then I put it on randomly one day and had the worst breakout I've ever had in my life :(

Pros:

Not too expensive
Good in the summer

Cons:

Make skin flaky and dry
Broke out skin

This was fine in the summer, but as it got colder, it made my skin dry and break out. No matter how much moisturizer I used! Now it caused a terrible breakout :(
