I'm 17, so I'm just figuring out this whole makeup thing. I started using mineral foundation and found that it would look perfect when I first applied it, but after a few hours is was completely gone on the places that I really needed covering.

So I decided to try liquid foundation, I have the revlon colorstay for combo/oily skin. After reading reviews, I bought the mac 187 brush to apply it. I've watched a zillion videos on youtube to figure out the stippling motion, but I just can't get it to not look cakey. Maybe it's the way I'm moisturizing? I moisturize and use a primer (sometimes the green Smashbox photo finish, and sometimes monistat anti-chafing gel).

I really need the coverage on my chin because I get really red, angry zits and to my nose where I'm a bit veiny. It gets very crusty and dry on those spots whenever I apply my liquid foundation.

Sorry, that was kind of a ramble. But any help would be much, much appreciated!
