Well, Silver, I can only answer what I know about. I had a perfect complexion all through school, it wasn't until later that I started having the breakout or two - around the time the first time I found out I had skin cancer. I wash my face with Clinique's Rinse-Off, Foaming Cleanser Mousse, and use a prescription Retin-A formula at night. It's expensive, but lasts about 6 months. I haven't been able to find *the* perfect eye or wrinkle cream yet, but I've been fortunate (and have been carded three times in the past four years!) - they all seem to cause more harm than good.

As a foundation in the winter, I use Estee Lauder's Lucidity, but in the summer, I use a Clinique sun glow (?). It doesn't bronze, so much as just put color on my face, along with a good sunscreen. I then flick a tiny bit of Lucidity loose powder over the shiny parts, and the few wrinkles I have seem to go away. Neither make me break out, or they would have hit the trashbin long ago! I tried a Revlon brand of sunglow, and it was good, too - better than I had expected.

That bridesmaid dress is simply lovely, and I would think that you'll look gorgeous in it! Since it's such a beautiful shade of pink, I'd really stick with colors that are good for you, but lighter than most people would wear in the summer - it will pull the whole concept together. Some glow, a little blush, and taupes/light whatever color you like eyeshadow and mascara, along with a good lipstick will go a long way. Granted, I'm going by the two photos I've seen of you, and the fact that we seem to have very similar coloring. Check your PMs a little later!
