What is the best yellowish make up/foundation with healing abilities?

I have mild acne skin but its dry and red all the time, normally my skin would be yellowish , so i want something that is not that expensive like Bobbi Brown but also covers up acne scars etc and does not look like a mask.

Also: I heard asian make up is very good for the skin, make up like Missha BB Cream, where can I get that and is it very effective?
When should I start using it? During or after my acne treatment(which I havent started yet)

Home/over the counter acne treatments?

I used to be on the birth control pill. It helped my acne A LOT -- it made my acne nearly non-existent! BUT unfortunately I no longer have health insurance and can't afford the pills or the doctor visit/physical (for the prescription) without the insurance.

I do a mint mask 3 times a week, wash my face daily, moisturize, etc but >still< there are a few persistent zits that don't want to go away permanently. Are there any vitamins I could take or something like that which would give me the same effect the birth control pills did? I'm really sick of these zits and they are damaging my confidence a bit :-(

I've suddenly gotten really bad acne?

I used to get a couple a month, but for the past two months i've been getting tons of acne between my eyebrows, on my forehead, and chin. I don't wear foundations or powder.
My skin gets really dry in the winter, but it's also sort of oily like it is in the summer.

Nothing works. I've used acne spot treatment, acne cleanser, scrubs, masks. The things that used to work for me, no longer do.

Do you have any cheap suggestions for me?
I'm currently using:
clean and clear advantage 8 hour spot treatment, st.ives green tea cleanser, st helens acne mask, and i used vasaline on my cheekes, and clean and clear dual action mosturizer on my acne prone areas.

I'm fed up with acne.
*vasaline lotion.
*vasaline lotion.

ACNE HELP? PLEAAAAAAAAAASE !?

First off, I'm 16 years old in about 3 weeks (grade 10). I've been fighting with acne ever since i got my period which was in grade 6. So i was 11/12 years old. For about 5 years straight, acne has been my worst enemy.

My forehead is sort of oily and i get flakes and sometimes it becomes dry. My acne in grade 8 and 9 was terrible! Not severe, but it was all red and just really noticeable.

I have tried OUZO (greek alcohol) on my skin which dried my acne out but it was not for long term.
I have also tried Clean And Clear Advantage Acne Spot Treatment but all it did was give me more acne.

For about three-four months now, I have been using the Proactiv kit. It has greatly reduced my acne but it didn't make it disappear. After a month and a half, i basically just use it once every week just because i lost faith in it.

Two weeks ago, i read an article online that said washing your hair with hot water then with cold water made it shiner. So, for two weeks i've been doing that. My acne vanished! It was gone! I was so happy and i thought i finally was DONE with acne. That happiness didn't last for long. Exams were this whole week so i was obviously stressed, and my acne came back. I have 1 red spot on my forehead, 4 red spots on my right cheek, 2 red spots on my nose, and 1 red spot on my left cheek. They are all RED and noticeable.

I cried today just because they came back. Acne really brings my self-esteem down sometimes.

Anyways, today i steamed my face for about 10 minutes and then i used Proactiv cleanser and the mask that came with it. I'm going to see my results tomorrow morning.

Should i continue to steam my face then use proactiv cleanser+mask, or no? If my results come out bad what SHOULD i start doing? Any products or tricks that anyone knows of? please help me!

All answers are greatly appreciated. Thank you for taking your time to read this!

PS. I eat very healthy. I have not had any junk food for about a week now. My moms is Greek so she uses olive oil on all the food she makes. We never use vegetable oil..even for fries! And shes a great chef so her food is not a problem. The only thing i lack on is water. I probably drink two glasses per day. & My hair is not oily, and i try my best to keep my hands off my face.
