For drugstore "matte" finish with all day staying power, the Revlon Colorstay can't be beat but you have to work fast with the blending and it's a little much coverage for me in the Mississippi summer.

I've actually got pretty good skin (other than redness on my cheeks), so I've been mostly using an Asian BB Cream (Skin 79 Super+ Blemish Balm in the Pink Label) with concealer (Covergirl+Olay Balm Concealer) for my cheeks. Asian BB creams are totally different than the American varieties and offer more coverage. They are super light in color, but since you're fair skinned it should be good for you. I get it off Amazon.

The Tarte foundation has been on my "to try" list so I'm definitely getting that next!

Thanks for the tip on the BB cream! I put that on my wishlist
