What drugstore foundation is good for dry skin with acne?

I want to to find a good quality foundation that won't break me out. Also how do you find the right color?What drugstore foundation is good for dry skin with acne?
To find the right colour you will need to use the tester that the store provides. If your store doesn't have testers I would recommend going somewhere else. There is really no way to know you have the right shade without trying any. Put a small amount on your jawline, you want to go vertically from below your cheek down to your neck (a 1 inch length is more than enough). If the shade blends into your natural skintone then you know you have the right colour. As for foundation that wont break you out, different people have different skin so what works for you may not work for someone else. I recommend a mineral foundation though for your acne, I've heard this tends to work well at clearing it up. I've heard that Bare Escentials (spelling?) is great at this, however I don't believe their products are available in drugstores.What drugstore foundation is good for dry skin with acne?
Before you apply any foundation I think that you should apply a good moisturizer, so your skin won't be dry. I know that dry skin has trouble reflecting light so the foundation would look just flat and fake, so yeah i think a good moisturizer is veryyy important.


I don't think that any foundation would be GOOD for acne but if you buy mineral foundation it shouldn't be that bad.


To find the right colour foundation you should apply a little on your jaw line, and apply a little on your neck, because you don't want an orange face and a pale neck, or vice versa :)





okay so;


1. get a good moisturizer


2. Mineral foundation (powder)


3. Apply on jaw line and neck





good luck!!
i think Neutrogena would be great for you.





first try and match your color to the swatches they have. then pick the three closest ones and swatch them on your jaw. the one that disappears is yours. if none of them match, try blending two together.
