As  a teenager I only had a few pimples.  BUT now that I am a 37-year-old who is on hormone patches after having a hysterectomy a couple of years ago, I Break out all the time.

It is so embarrassing and I get really upset about it. 

I am looking for any suggestions for a good brand of make-up that won't cost me an arm and a leg. 

Several friends have suggested Bare Minerals but I don't like it. It makes my face greasy and shinning. 

Thanks in advance!

I've used Mary Kay since the 6th grade. I still love how clean their cleansers get my skin and I love the coverage their makeup provides. Granted, this is coming from the woman who maybe spends 3 minutes on my face in the morning, but still.

For cleansers, makeup, etc., I used to be all Clinique all the time — because I only buy during bonus times and love all the free samples you get along with it. I'm a sucker for free stuff! But I've started branching out this year somewhat. I've been using cleansers from this company online called Great Skin, which I think has helped me not have dry patches on my face. And I am in love with tinted moisturizer instead of foundation too. I like Stilla at Sephora the best.
