I would start out using a matte primer. MakeupForever has a really good primer! Then I would try a matte foundation. NARS matte foundation gives good coverage and doesn't look cakey while taking away some of the unwanted oils.

depending how bad your acne is I would either use a bb cream or a foundation make up forever hd foundation is extremely popular and great my bb cream i use is the smash box bb cream love it but if you want more coverage use concelor on top of that but a tinted mostiurzer is bad choice I think it makes  your face shine and small  coverage

You could also try a tinted moisturizer which has a lot more colors to chose from so you would get more coverage from that. The only thing is you should probably use a moisturizer and primer with it as the TM are not all inclusive. Try some Benefit Porefessinal on the areas where your pores are bigger and I'd use a acne product underneath it all. My derm gives me retin a for the breakouts forming and another product if the breakout has formed and is red and mad. There's a ton of stuff you can use, maybe a medicated moisturizer. You defintely need something for breakouts. Go to Sephora and try a few things on and take a few samples home. The good thing is if you buy and hate it, you can return or exchange for another color or brand. FYI, I have acne prone skin and need medium coverage in the winter so I use Laura Merciers oil free tinted moisturizer with SPF and in summer I mostly just use Smashbox BB ream or I love Dr Jarts. It also has anti aging ingredients which you should definitely be thinking about, even though you may thnk you're so young. It's all abut prevention while you are young so it doesn't get bad later.

I suggest trying a BB cream (moisturizer, SPF, primer, and med-coverage foundation all in one) and a sheer-med finishing powder. I have oily T-zones so I use Clinique Stay Matte. It would be good to invest in a good set of brush, because especially for powders, the pads or plastic brush they come with deposites too much powder and provide uneven distribution. Get a nice fluffy powder brush and you will never regret it.
