Sensitive skin?
I have the same trouble. You need to look for makeup that is hypoallergenic. These are products that lack the most common skin irritants. Never wear anything else! Breaking out means that you're having a mild allergic reaction to the harsh chemicals in regular makeup (that no one should be wearing anyway). Although everything you wear needs to say hypoallergenic on it, also look for 100% unscented or organic or "mineral" makeups.





Be selective. Brands like Almay are a good place to start, but even products that claim to be natural or unscented can have things in it that your skin won't like. Try small product lines rather than discount store items, and choose products that have a full ingredient list, so you know exactly what you're wearing. Most of all, wear as little makeup as possible; brush on a hint of color if you must, but it's just not worth it to torture your skin.





The source page features a good list of additives to avoid, and even a few decent brand names. Hope this helps! :)
Reply:Look for Almay products. They're hypo-allergenic.
Reply:bare minerals will most likely work for you
Reply:I don't think your question is weird at all. My mother has very sensitive skin and I know that the only products that work for her is Clinique. Try asking a Clinique representative at any department store near you. One great thing is that you can have them do your makeup for you before you actually buy it. It's free to have your make-up done and then see how your skin reacts to the product.


Personally, I have very fair skin so I tend to show any blemish and often skip blush. I use nice makeup brushes and clean them often. I don't think that blush is a necessity for every day use.


Also, I don't know your age but your skin tends to change as you get older (or from a adolescence to adulthood). It also changes with the seasons.


Best of Luck
