i have really clear && smooth skin, but around my period i get a pimple or 2, && they always hang around for a long time, so could you guys recommend some stuff?

i need:

a good spot concealer, something that i wouldn't have to wear w/foundation
or powder? is that better? or should i wear powder over concealer to get better coverage?
&& a good spot treatment

i want to cover the redness && for it to not look like i even have a pimple or wearing cover up

thanks, oh && since i dont have major acne, i dont wanna spend a ton of money, so if you guys know of cheap drugstore stuff, thatd be good
but if its not too expensive && lasts a long time && works really good, then recommend that too

I have the same problem. I have the clean and clear morning stuff in the orange bottle, I love it. I clean and clear right when I feel one coming on or put it in the spots I normally get them. I also have this cover-up-like stuff that’s clean and clear also. I can't remember the exact name of what it was but I can describe it. Its in a tube and its kind of skin colored. It works really well to me. I have this powder from clean and clear too. I can now see a pattern. I'm sure some off brands work better, but I'm too lazy to look at the key chemical. Just don’t over wash the spot when you get the pimple. Sorry about not being exact, but if you look at the clean and clear in the store you’ll be able to know what I’m talking about. Rereading this I sound like a ditz, but I hope I help. Good Luck! :D

I use Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse. It's foundation but I only ever use it to pat under my eyes when I haven't been getting enough sleep... and to cover up the occasional pimple. It doesn't get greasy and it blends flawlessy, so next time you're in the drugstore I suggest you pick some up.

I also use this Clean and Clear cream called Maximum Strength Persa-Gel 10. It's the strongest concentration of benzoyl peroxide that you can get, so it clears up any pimples pretty much overnight. (I'm serious, I put it on before bed and they're gone by the end of the following day, if not sooner.) It doesn't dry me out either which is awesome, and you can wear it under makeup during the day so that it can keep working away even while you're at school or work. Hit it up.

I use clean and clear dual action moisturizer.
it helps to clear your skin, so the pimples will go away.

mhhhhkkkk so thank you girls =]]


i will deff try out advantage AND persa gel, just to see which is better
and i think i will buy Almay Nearly Naked Cover Up Stick in light/medium, i checked out the reviews on makeup alley and it sounds great. i might get the Almay Nearly Naked Loose Powder too, but i honestly dont think ill need it, a bunch of girls on makeup alley aid they used it by itself

thnx again!
