Tinted Moisturizer - Help me look presentable!

I've lurked here for a while, and now I'm after the collective wisdom of the beauty junkies.

I love the idea of make-up, but never wear it - I've a 7 month old who never sleeps, the oiliest of skin, and if it came down to 5 more minutes in bed or applying makeup, there's not much contest.

However, in a few weeks I go on university placement and need to look presentable.

Can you recommend a tinted moisturizer/powder/some miracle product I'm unaware of to help smooth out fairly spotty, oily mottled skin?

I'm also poor, so as much as I'd love to skip merrily to Chanel, my budget doesn't run past Boots, in reality.

TY!

I like Garnier Perfect Blur BB cream. It has a mattifying primer in it, but doesn't keep oil at bay all day.

Thank you. I'll have a look at that!

I imagine whatever I buy I'll have to reapply at lunchtime!

I use the l'oreal CC cream you only need a tiny bit and it just brightens your skin tone and gets rid of any redness. It also doesn't come up if your in a rush so get a sweat on (I know I've tested it in the gym!) I also like Olay touch of sunshine. I use highlighter and concealer round my eyes if I have shadows, mascara, and a little blush or bronze and Vaseline on my lips, which looks natural and also doesn't take very long, maybe 3 minutes! If I don't then I feel rubbish, but it does make a big difference. Mostly I also choose the sleep though Wink x

I like the sound of a 3 minute routine, Daisy!

That's good if it covers redness, I do have red patches quite often on my cheeks.

Thank you!

I like Bourjois 123 CC creme - it's quite sheer but very pigmented so it blends out redness surprisingly well. Add a bit of mascara and my face looks about 100% more awake.
