Answer Hi Crystal,
Well, laser is very expensive, but very worth it.
I would recommend using a concealer, a foundation and a powder.
First, I will give you product suggestions, and then tell you how to use it for optimum coverage.
For Concealers:
Air-Wear Long Wearing Concealer - L'Oreal Paris
Instand Agewind Double Face Protector - Maybelline
Fresh Comlexion Concealer - Cover Girl
Advanced Radiance Age Defying Concealer - Cover Girl
For Foundations:
TruBlend - CoverGirl
ColorStay Active Light Make up - Revlon
Pure Make Up - Maybelline
Dream Matte Mousse Foundation - Maybelline
Powders:
You really can't go too wrong with powders, so I would suggest using one that coordinates to your foundation. So, if you get a foundation by TruBlend, get the matching powder.
I would apply your foundation first, all over your face with a sponge for even coverage. Make sure you blend down your jawline to aboid any marks of remarkation. Then, dot on your concealer [putting it on over the foundation helps it stay better!] where you need it the most [discolorations, under eye circles, etc..] and then apply your powder all over your face. This helps blend everything together nicely and make your skin look matte.
If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask.
