Blemish Balm

A few years ago I tried Seventeen (cheap and cheerful make-up range from Boots) blemish balm and it was the best thing ever- it gave a full coverage, whilst looking light and dewy, and it didn't cause any breakouts at all. It was discontinued a while ago, and I've never found anything that I liked as much! Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

I remember using this-was brilliant (and cheap )

I use either this one from Revlon

www.superdrug.com/Make-Up/Face/Foundation/Liquid-Foundation/Revlon-Photoready-Candid-Anti-Pollution-Foundation-Chai/p/777785?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI2r3Ogon66AIViu3tCh0TsgnIEAQYASABEgK82vD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Or the one in the photo -I buy off eBay. This one only comes in one shade though is fairly pale.

Thank you! I'm pretty pale too so that shouldn't be a problem!

ELF Acne Fighting Foundation is incredible.
V cheap too. They often have offers on their website so sometimes it’s as cheap as £4.

17 was brilliant. It was replaced by cyo, which is being discontinued.

I probably have some blemish balm as I stockpiled 17 when they discontinued it.

Alternative might be Essence, in Wilko.

Just looked at Elf, have they discontinued the acne foundation.

Thanks everyone 😊 Mike, it's nice to know of someone else who liked 17!

I went through a phase of using higher end brands and noticed the MD's PA used 17. I probably sneered a bit but she said that it was great, so I tried it. It was fine. Packaging looked cheap but the products were good and a good range of colours.
