I've tried covergirl but it seemed to break me out. But, i haven't tried M.A.C. yet, it seems to have a good line but im not sure how it would work. Oh and neutrogena doesn't have shades for warm brown skin tones.

No, don't use MAC foundation! It'll break you out as well. I do use MAC but only the base, eyeshadows, eyeliners, lipstick, but NEVER use the foundation and/or powder... don't know what they have in there but stay away from them! Plus I personally think they make you look too chalky...
Try NARS products (They have NARS in Nordstroms now, and Barney's, and Sephora!). They have good color selections as well.

If you have sensitive skin, you need products that are hypoallergenic, fragrance free and without a lot of chemicals. The best foundation textures for you are a liquid (water based), mousse, tinted moisturizer and dual finish. Satin or Luminous foundations usually work well on any skin type. As far as brands, I suggest Almay as they seem to target those with sensitive skin.

The BEST makeup (foundation) for combination for sensitive skin is Mineral Makeup like ID Bare Minerals Foundation. It doesn't contain any chemicals as its made from pure crushed minerals.
Its great for people who also have acne or sensitive skin as it doesnt contain any ingredients that irritate the skin. It gives a natural finish and its not heavy and uncomfortable.

I have sensitive /oily skin and I love Elizabeth Arden. There is even a mousse foundation that is very light but has good coverage. I am an african american and I have no problem finding my shades. Also I love that it is not as pricey as Lancome or Estee Lauder.

Look into Physician Formulas' oil free foundations, like Virtual Skin. They are awesome.

Mary Kay, but make sure you choose a foundation that's suited to your skin type, otherwise it won't work as well.

Lancomb works best for my combination skin

Mary Kay is wonderful. My whole family uses it and we've never had problems. Same with my friends! And they aren't terribly expensive and have a wide variety of stuff!
