Re: I am a Makeup Artist - How can i be of help? 
OK, since you do not use liquid foundation, and you have a few breakouts on your T zone, I would recommend that you invest in a mineral powder foundation. It is much kinder to your skin than the normal foundations that can clog up your pores and sometimes further irritate any acne/spots you may have.
It can be used to achieve an even skin tone, and if you want to use it for daily basis, a light dusting would be sufficient. Use a kabuki brush for it. However if you want to achieve slightly more fuller coverage for a special occasion, it is is easy to do so by applying a few more layers and build on the coverage gradually. This is much more gentle than the normal powders, as the minerals are finely ground so they blend into your skin and become almost unnoticeable, compared to the normal normal powders that can leave a cakey / powdery look on your face and can also dry out your skin!
I personally use bodyshops mineral powder! A lot of the cosmetic comapnies are launching mineral based products. clinique do a good variety, also try elizabeth arden
Hope that helps
