Can you recommend some makeup for me?

I am 25 years old, but look very young for my age. My skin is very pale, sensitive, and sunburns easily. My eyes are blue and my lips are pink. I also have a problem with under-eye circles and psoriasis.

You can see pictures of my face here: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/album.php?aid=...

I have trouble finding a foundation that is fair enough; everything tends to look orangey on me. I generally will only wear makeup that is cruelty-free (Almay, Revlon, Clinique, Bare Escentuals), but I will make an exception if absolutely necessary.

I am willing to invest a bit of money on quality makeup, but I can go cheap, too. I am tired of using makeup that just doesn't work well with my face. Please let me know if you have any suggestions - foundation, concealer, lipstick, eye makeup. Brand

Update:

Brands and/or colors!

I'm interested in it all.

    I also have very pale skin and most powders make me look yellow or too orange.

    So what I use is the Revlon Colorstay foundation in ivory, let it set and then set it with a translucent powder (like the one from N.Y.C.). Translucent powders will make your face appear a little bit brighter and won't add any unnecessary color. So try to stay away from powders that are colored.

    As for concealer, I use Almay clear complexion concealer which works great. But if you don't have any acne to worry about, use the almay concealer for normal skin.

    For eye makeup, the new Wet n Wild ColorIcon 6 color palettes are extremely pigmented and smooth! and they're quite cheap too! Try them out. Seriously, you will not regret it! They also have great blushes from that Coloricon line.

    I've tried a lot of eyeliners and the only one that stays on my lids from morning till night, is Jordana Fabuliner (liquid eyeliner) and it's a few bucks.

    I also have pale skin, blue eyes, pink lips & dark under eye circles and I use Revlon Colorstay Foundation for Normal/Dry Skin (But they also have Combination/Oily). I usually use it in Buff or Sand Beige but I believe there is a color or two lighter than these. It covers very well & I usually don't have to use concealer on redness or uneven areas, but I still have to under my eyes because they are so dark.

    I have yet to find the perfect concealer for me but I've heard that Bobbi Brown & Laura Mercier are great.

    I love the Revlon Colorstay Eyeliner (it's the crayon like one). It stays on all day & doesn't budge. I can even go swimming & it stays put.

    Hope this helps you (:

    Theres alot of stuff I recomend for your skin type. You should go to www.sephora.com and type in "fresh foundation" in the search bar. It's one of the best foundations out there, and i'm recomending it to everyone! It has SPF 20 which helps with the sunburns, it leaves your face glowing, and covers good.

    Since your face is pale I prefer for you to use light pink blush. You can find it as Sephora or Mac, just ask a worker there for something light pink and they'll show you a bunch. You should smile and apply it to the apples of your cheecks.

    Also.. You should use nude lip stick on your lips to make it look cute. You can find a cute color at MAC.. It's called creme nude or something.. I honestly don't remember but i'm sure you will find it. Or you can ALSO purchaces Viva Glam brand from MAC, lady gagas line..the pink color will look great.

    You should put on some powder after applying your makeup..MAC has very good powders..Or Clinique's will be good.

    Eyeliner I prefer MACs smolder. It's amazing. Apply it to the waterline, and lashlines. It looks great. :") Hope i helped
