Make up tips and recommendations?

So I'm 19 and I'm pretty new at make up since my mom doesn't really wear any. I just started wearing a little mascara, blush, and lip gloss. I decided that I needed a little coverage on my face so I just wanted to know your recommendations on primer, foundation, concealer, and powder. Like what kind do you like to use? Does it make you break out? And what kind of foundation would I use for combination skin (oily t-zone, dry cheeks)? I just want a light to medium coverage. Not too little but not too much coverage either. I have good clear skin that doesn't break out often, so I want to keep it that way. Should I use tinted moisturizer instead? Thanks! :) Oh and try to keep it at like a drugstore brand level. Lol :) Thank you ^^

    If you already have nice skin then you definitely don't need any foundation :) but if you are looking for one, Revlon Colorstay is the best way to go. They have a regular formula but also a combination/oily formula which I think would be great for your skin type. With primer, if you're willing to spend some money, the Urban Decay Naked skin balm is absolutely amazing and softens the skin. On powder, the Rimmel Stay Matte powder is amazing and will hide the oiliness in your t-zone. Liquid liner will help define the eyes but for beginners, I'd suggest the Maybelline master drama eye studio crayon. It has gorgeous pigmentation and stays on all day! When applying eyeliner however, avoid tugging on the eyes. Try to apply it with only one hand guiding the liner. Doing this will prevent premature eye sagging. Lastly, always use a moisturizer :) giving your skin a drink is what will keep it looking amazing!

    Hey olays CC cream works great! If you need minimal coverage then use tinted moisturizers. I use MACs powder on my face it is more expensive but usally lasts me about a good 2 years! Best of luck
