Girl Talk

I have never had perfect skin and it seems like I still have periods where my face will break out like I am in high school which is totally not cool. I have never been one of those people who spend a chunk of change on decent makeup but I am really starting to consider it. I think the cheap foundations I am wearing has something to do with my face breaking out like it is. I want to ask you ladies.What is your favorite foundation?

I am hoping to possibly be able to get some after Christmas and some help in the right direction would be lovely.
