Got any good foundations, bases, primers, and powders? HALP PLOX D;

Of course I don't want all of that... or do I? ;)
I just got into the stage of putting on makeup that isn’t eyeliner. I don’t know at all what I’m doing or what I should be buying. So any suggestions of products you wouldn’t live without? Also, I wouldn’t mind some tips of how I should use the product(s). :D
I have very unusual skin conditions on my face. I need something with SPF because I’m light-skinned and I sunburn like crazy. My skin is very flaky around my eyebrows and chin. Most of my forehead and nose is super shiny. The top part of my forehead and under my eyes is almost always sweaty or very greasy (that reminds me… any good non-smearing eyeliners? lol). Even when I’m not sunburned, my cheeks are very red and go through a constant cycle of either being really dry and flaky or being really greasy and shines like the moon.
Sorry for the information overload, but I’ve been searching stores and reviews for weeks. I still feel like those reviews were either praised by people who worked for the company or were rejected by people who worked for rival companies. I don’t want to invest my money on something that won’t work for my specific needs.
So I’m putting my trust (and my piggy bank) on your girl’s advice. So pass on the help please? :)

Question: Weight loss (by XiloveyouX)
Madame's answer: What I'm currently doing right now to lose some pounds for summer: Wake up a hour earlier (or 30 min. if you don't want to take a shower, but I recommend it because then you won't feel sweaty for the rest of the day) than you normally do. Sounds like a pain? It is, but if you don't have any time to cut out of your daily schedule, it's the best way to find time. I usually go on a 20 minute run, then do 10-20 minutes of some yoga techniques I've learned, and the usual push-ups and crunches (tip: lay on a pillow or two while doing crunches, it works your lower back muscles that way.). If I find time in the afternoon, I might do the run, but usually I just do the yoga real fast before a shower and the push-ups/crunches while I'm getting ready for bed.
It's very easy to keep up with if you really want to lose the pounds. Of course if you don't have that much of a drive for losing weight, you could just start eating healthier (no sweets and balancing out how much you eat is easy). You could also just have a 30-60 minute dance session. Just put something you can dance/mosh out to on your stereo and have fun! Probably the raddest out of all ways to get fit.
Combining all of this gives the most results. :thumbup:

Question: I want something new with my hair. Perhaps a mohawk? (by insert_generic_name_here)
Madame's answer: I would not recommend a mohawk for any girl because unless you have a really small forehead, it makes most girl's foreheads go on for miles. With a mohawk or chelsea-hawk, most girl's flaws are more noticeable, like a prominent nose or a unsymmetrical facial structure (know that by experience :thumbdown: ) If you were to get any type of hawk I would suggest a chelsea/faux-hawk.
This is your decision, so if you want to rock the hawk, then do what you please. I have seen some girls work the hawk before, but if you dislike the hairstyle on you, it takes awhile to grow out. Better safe than sorry XD

Question: I want a new hairstyle!! I have fairly thick dark brown hair with side swept bangs. (by xsplatter)
Madame's answer: Sorry, but this is your hair. Your hair, your decision. Your hair dresser probably doesn't like the edgier look. But this is YOUR hair. Meaning if you want it, GET IT! I think layers would actually go good with your face structure and give you that edgier look you want.

Question: wut r (by sosokimokilolo)
Madame's answer: http://www.scene-hairstyles.com/
The site that I find most of my hairstyle inspirations. Or you could just search 'scene hairstyles' on google. How I found the site XD
