I'm a 15 years old teenage girl in high school; freshman. I'm going to be honest with you all, most of girls can't live without makeups. I can live without them, depends on my face. I get zits all of time of course. But not too much though. But the problem is, I'm always jealous of girls who has flawless face. I feel like I can't accept my face. I just feel like I'm not beautiful enough to believe and accept myself.
I always put on my makeups in order.
1) Foundation (Not too much though).
2) Foundation Powder (I only use that to match my skin to hide the foundation cream).
3) Cheek Blush
4) Mascara
^Thats it really. But my huge problem that, whenever I feel my face, it feels really greasy and I went to bathroom many times to make sure the makeups isn't smear off or something.
Makeups is really frustating for me, cause it didn't work to hide my redness from zits, I get a little dry skin on my eyelid and nose, and it doesn't hide dark circles on my eyes very well.
I'm really tired of makeups, I want to give up. And go for natural skin. I researched to get natural skin, and it says I must have to drink water 8 times a day, eat healthy, and excirise. Is that true? Cause I do that all of them, but I'm still working on my eating healthy diet. And also I really want to learn how to accept and love the way I am.
Help, please? :/ Makeups make me feel so even uglier when it feels like greasy.

I don't know a whole lot about getting heathier skin, just from my own experience. My skin is always more clear when I'm consistent with washing my face every morning and night, drink lots of water (as you mentioned), and avoid eating excessive amounts of fat/sugar.
As for makeup:
Don't use a cream foundation. It will make your skin oily and it will actually clog your pores and cause you to break out more. The best makeup routine is use a small amount of leave-on acne cream under the makeup, this will help the powder to stick as well as keep your skin clear. Then, use a small amount of cream concealer to cover just the zits (that will also help under your eyes - get a shade that's a little lighter than your skin. It's really worth it to get high-quality concealer, if you get a good brand you can use less and it will last you a really long time). A light, mineral-based foundation powder will even it out and you're good to go! This is what I do, and it lasts all day without getting oily and gross. If you don't use too much foundation powder, it ends up looking very natural - makes it seem effortless and not like you're trying too hard.
Okay no offence , however , quit displaying off approximately your self and your £50 week allowance and you'll have enough money it and I can conveniently get it thingy majjigy 'cos no one offers an *** approximately it. Sure , you may have a drawback. Ask your mother for like a £ five allowance p / week rather of £ 50. Jeez. And do not spend all of it on makeup - I wager you may have far more than you wish to have already ! Seriously , be typical and reserve it up for anything else rather then makeup 'cos a few men and women should not have any and do not provide a rattling ! Have you received plenty of spots ? It is also due to the fact your dressed in an excessive amount of makeup ! Give your frame a holiday , and persist with a LITTLE ( underlined ) jewelry rather ! Get good...... xD Vanilla , almost always on behalf of part of yahoo . Sorry if I angry you whatsoever.
Drinking water definitely helps clear up your skin, as does washing your face daily.
The best thing I can tell you is to look for makeup that is meant for acne prone skin and matches your skin type. For example I have oily parts of my face and some dry parts so I would require a combination makeup. Go to sephora or anywhere with a beautician that can help direct you towards the ideal makeup.
