I get lots of break outs and skin rashes if I wear
liquid foundation.
So, I try to go natural whenever possible.
Or, wear mineral makeup.
It's more gentle on skin.
What type of cosmetics make your skin feel irritated?
Any specific brands of cosmetics that you try
to stay away from?

So far I haven't had any of my makeup brake out my skin, I think its because I wash my face before bad so my skin can breath and also I don't were foundation much anymore I use to, but I realized that my own skin looks ok with out foundation, so now I mainly just wear mascara lipstick and occasionally I wear eye shadow but not that often, I suggest that if you have sensitive skin try cosmetics that are hypoallergenic and made of only natural ingredients, but Iv used all kinds of makeup and so far I haven't had any problems with brake outs, also you should never sleep in your makeup.

Those are good beauty tips.
For awhile, I was using the acne
prone skin care from Cover girl foundation.
And it just made my skin worse.
So, I stopped wearing it.
I'm not sure why my skin is so sensitive.
Most make ups feel as if I'm wearing a veil
on my face.

I very seldom wear makeup anymore...I've always had bad allergies and when I was younger I had a heck of a time finding makeup that wouldn't cause my face to rash and burn. I finally found a foundation and powder that worked and then an eyeshadow and eye liner that didn't cause my eyes to burn all the time. These days I mostly don't wear makeup and just put some Oil of Olay on my face.

I used to use covergirl when I was in high school and it seemed to make my skin break out, but then again any foundation that I used made me break out. I think that it was just because i was using a sponge to apply it. Sponges hold germs and bacteria and also absorb a lot of the makeup so it takes more to apply it to your face. I use a foundation brush now and it doesn't break me out. I also use Almay foundation. It is one of the best foundations that I have every used.

I have roscea and exzema so alot of makeup I break out from - I've tried bare escentuals and any almay or neutrogena make up - and they have worked wonders. They're safre for sensitive skin and find it pretty much anywhere.
