Make up base like the one you can get from MAC also helps control shine before you put on your foundation. Problem is, it's so dead pricey.

For those on a tight budget, I'd say, stick to the drugstore brands for now. ^^; That's unti lyou can splurge on a real good foundation - and at that time, make sure you get pelnty of help!

You wouldn't want to walk away wit hthe wrong choice. Ack.
