[emily220319]

hello everyone! I am pretty new to doing makeup and unfortunately have no idea what products to buy!! i am a little pale, especially at this time of year! my skin is very prone to acne and a little oily. if anyone would be willing to give me some advice about products or application tip, it would be greatly appreciated! the biggest items I am looking for include: a brush set, palettes, foundation, setting powders/ sprays, bronzers, and primers!

Thank you so much!!

Hi @emily220319, 

For  Brushes I really like SEPHORA COLLECTION - Eyes: Uncomplicated Brush Set it has every brush you need to do a complete eye look. And for face SEPHORA COLLECTION - Complexion: Uncomplicated Brush Set. I prefer to use sponges to apply foundation such as SEPHORA COLLECTION - Perfect & Restore Sponge and Solid Brush Cleaner Set. 

Since you are acne prone, I would go with COVER FX - Mattifying Primer With Anti-Acne Treatment. It has properties to help treat acne and keep oil at bay. 

You didn't specify if you wanted a sheer coverage, medium coverage or full coverage foundation. I'll give you examples of all three. 

Sheer: NARS Sheer Glow Foundation Syracuse

Medium: Too Faced Born This Way Natural Finish Longwear Liquid Foundation Brulee

Full: Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation 4W4 Hazel.

Powder: My go to powder is COVER FX - Perfect Setting Powder Mini.
