You might be saying, “Come on Robbi, you give great tips and advice, but nothing can make my skin look perfect. I was cursed with the dreaded combination affliction at birth.” I understand your frustration. But here is the thing. Something can be done no matter what your circumstance, as long as you are willing to have it work.  

Combination or problem skin as some people call it is oil in some areas, not in others, or acne scarring, or any number of natural skin situations. I call it skin. It is your skin and you can care for it and are just as beautiful as Liv Tyler because you radiate health and happiness.  

The first step is to slick on primer. Get a good one that feels natural and light weight on your skin but does a good cover job. Then, find a natural foundation that is liquid and paraben-free. Stay clogging oils, and preservatives. Avoid caking your face with foundation to conceal blemishes.  

Use a small-tipped concealer brush to spot conceal by dipping into a sparing amount of concealer, dabbing on the spot and blending lightly.  If you have redness marring your skin, use a yellow tinted concealer rather than pink after you have applied the foundation.
