Hey! I've had this "problem" since I can remember. I found that when I tan at the tanning salon or use the tanning myst it helps cover up alot better without layers of makeup. But I found the best coverup makeup to come from Chanel (Radieux Natural Beige # 4), Shiseido Liquid Compact Foundation, MAC Studio Stick Foundation, MAC MoistureBlend Foundation. I know stage makeup is heavy but it works so damn well too. No stores carry stage makeup in my suburb of NY so I order it online. It's a bit cheaper than the rest too! Hope this helps!

I use mineral makeup most days, but when I'm going out, I get out the MAC Full Coverage. That stuff is a miracle- if I was putting makeup on a man who needed to cover his stubble (Trans etc.) I'd use this. Some people say it gives them acne, I haven't ever had that problem with it though.

I've used Make Up Forever gel foundation for years! I don't think it has 'gel' in the name, but it's in a glass bottle.

It's the same foundation they used on the bodies for Bay Watch.

It goes on SUPER thin, and it dries like 'skin'. If you want more coverage, you can just keep layering it, and it will never look cakey.

Plus it's transfer resistant, and water resistant. The bottle looks kind of small, but it should last you about 6 months.

I do a couple things.. I keep my face as moisterized as possible.. because dry patches really are noticable, and using a makeup primer helps keep the makeup stay put all day, and gives it a smoother surface to stick to. I also use a lot of concealor, and layer the make up in area's i have the most problems. Learning how to blend, and manipulate it is the best way. I also found I got the best coverage using a foundation brush.

I don't use anything expensive, revlon, or loreal.. I have a hard time finding foundation so I will buy a few different things and play around with it.

I think that buying foundation like MAC is probably your best bet, because it will really cover up so much better.

I have thought about tanning again. it really was easier.. it also helped the scaring on my face! I have olive skin, but on the paler side. My friend would be happy if i went tanning with her haha
