Just looking for some recommendations from anyone that also has sensitive skin. It's so hard to find something that doesn't bother my skin!
-
i use dermalogica tinted moisturizer and "true" pressed powder which is a mineral makeup.
-
I use PUR minerals 4 in 1 powder foundation.
Very sensitive skin here and never had a problem. -
I have really sensitive skin and I have never had a problem with Mac foundation. But, I don't use it all that frequently so it's possible I'd have a reaction if I used it daily. I recommend getting a sample of a couple of days' worth at a department store so you can test it and see without paying a bunch of money.
-
I use Alima Pure (a mineral powder) because it has so few ingredients - most mineral foundations have something that I'm allergic to. Finding a shade match can be a bit of work, but once I made up a blend I liked, a container lasted me over a year and I never got breakouts or reactions from the foundation or powder.
-
My skin is slightly sensitive and Bare minerals seems to be ok.
-
I have the most sensitive skin (had eczema my whole life). The best foundation for me is seriously Bare Minerals and a good quality (Asian) BB Cream. I've tried the Garnier one and it was awful on my skin. hth

I'll chime in with another vote for Bare Minerals. I am just recovering from a couple years of I-can't-even-leave-the-house-I-look-so-horrible eczema on my face and neck, plus I'm allergic to ingredients that are commonly found in cosmetics (like coconut oil derivatives). Bare Minerals seems to be the one foundation that my skin can tolerate. Good luck!

Thanks girls! I actually use to use Bare Minerals and thought the buffing was too much for my skin but I think I might go back. I have some at home that I'm going to try. My reaction is weird, acne/itchy. It's very odd!
@shopaholic: What BB cream do you use?
-
@Mrs.VW: I've used Bare Minerals and the buffing + the ingredients were extremely irritating for my skin! I thought maybe I was imagining it but when I switched my skin finally stopped burning. (With Alima you just dust on like powder, you don't buff)
-
@mrsvw - Oh! I forgot to mention I stopped using their buffing brush long time ago! I use a synthetic brush they carry that is MUCH softer and not irritating. I also got a similar synthetic brush from Sephora for my Bare Minerals too. The B.M. buffing brush does get rough and scratchy.
As for the BB cream, I've been using the brand BRTC for a couple of years and like it. I also like L'egere and Dr. Jart.

@shopaholic: Ohhhh which brush did you get?? Maybe that would help me
I have the kabuki brush but I've been using the larger heavenly face brush recently.

I just found this and think that it might be perfect for my 'buffing' issue

@mrsvw - The brush I use the most is the Bare Escentuals Soft Focus brush. It's really soft. I use the Mineral Veil in the compact formula for touch ups too! Really nice they have that now!
