Favorite foundation or powder for sensitive skin? - Beauty & Cosmetics Message Board

pushit · 08-08-2005, 12:04 AM

Hi, I'm trying to find a natural-looking, oil-free foundation or powder for sensitive skin. I've tried so many different foundations, and everything seems to break me out. I have combination skin and need something with moderate coverage to hide some red marks from past break outs. I'm using Differin gel at night and am taking doxycycline to prevent new breakouts, and unfortunately I haven't been able to find a foundation that doesn't break me out. I'm also trying to find a blush that won't break me out. Does anyone have any recs? Thanks!

try that new maybelline mousse, it works for me and I have combo skin. it isnt to drying and i dont break out. also has pretty good coverage. ( I am very fair skined though, so im not sure about the other shades?)

I'm also currently using Differin gel (and minocycline). Anyways, I've been using Lancome Dual Finish powder for years (I also use thier oil free blush). I absolutley love it..it covers great. It can be put on dry or with a wet sponge...I just use it dry though. I have sensitive skin that is also very fair and they have a great selection of colors.

I use Quo minimal makeup (from shoppers drug mart).. it's very natural and I find it gives me a glow. You don't look like u are wearing make up, like it doesn't look cakey at all like other make up. It's also hypoallergenic.. so it works good with me skin..
