Question Make-up and five o'clock shadow

I have to shave my facial hair daily and of course, I get five o'clock shadow. I was wondering if anyone has any make-up suggestions for me. I currently use Revlon foundation and powder but after a few hours you can start to see my "shadow". I used to get my face waxed but that cause more acne problems for me than shaving (plus it was expensive). I would love any ideas or make-up suggestions that you can offer me. Thank you!!!

Tammie, I use the Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse foundation - I find it gives better, more natural, and most importantly more lasting coverage than anything else of my shadow (which is just like a man's). I just finish it with a little Avon translucent powder (but I have used other brands just as successfully) to keep myself from getting shiny.

I've tried several products and what has worked the best for me and my similar problem is Revlon. I use the Colorstay products including the foundation and the face powder. I've tried high-end products that haven't worked as well as Revlon Colorstay. My make-up kit also includes Physician's Formula Yellow stick in powder finish and a red lipstick. Applying the yellow and then dapping the red lipstick helps to also hide my stubborn upper lip shadow.
