My Skin Type
I realised that because of the fact that makeup (especially foundation) is really subjective, it would make sense to talk about my skin type. It's kind of complicated but here goes.
I'll be honest right now: my skin can be a hot mess at times. It's mainly my forehead that's a problem;
it can go from dry and flakey (gross) to covered in spots (also gross) in a day or two. This becomes a problem when I try to tackle it. If I use something to fight the dryness I need to try really hard not to go straight to the other end of the spectrum and have a breakout. A lot of the time when I use something for my acne, I end up flaking a few days later.
In the winter my skin completely freaks out. No matter what I do I seem to end up with flaking skin and acne in the same place at once (which is just confusing to try and deal with!) In the summer my skin sometimes clears up to the point where there are literally zero blemishes on my face and it's perfectly balanced between dry and oily.

I've seen a massive improvement in my skin since about June though. I no longer get the mass breakouts that I used to, so I really only ever have to deal with one or two spots at a time. On the flip side I still get dry skin pretty frequently though, but it's been easier to manage since my skin's become less finicky!
