Ladies with rosacea-what is the best foundation/make-up to use? Currently using estee lauder futurist because?

Question

it stays on well, and after trying many other brands and colors, it's the only one that has the right shade (desert beige). The problem is ; the last 3 times I've bought it in the past year the price has gone up 2 or 3 times, unlike others where the price seems to hold steady for 2-3 years!

Answer 1

I not only have rosacea, but I have large pores, and pale skin.

I've tried lots of different foundations over the years from Lancome (ridiculously expensive and ineffective) to Maybelline.

Consistently over the last 3 years I've settled on: Clinique Superfit and Bare Escentuals.

My fave is bare escentuals which really surprised me. If you use it, I highly recommend buying the kubiki full coverage brush and the concealer brush. Using those I get great coverage and it looks very soft and natural.

The other thing that helps tremendously is make up primer. I use a philosophy product called the gift and also got a sample of Laura Gellar from sephora. They really help to even the surface of my skin before I put it on.

One final tip - even though you didn't ask - Eucerin redness relief products - cleanser, night cream, etc. They are fantastic and you can get them at the drug store. They are a little pricey, but not department store pricey, and they are definitely worth it.

Good luck!

Answer 3

two words: MINERAL MAKEUP! :D

i have rosacea too. (and large pores & pale skin, like the answerer below! hehe.) i've tried traditional makeups, expensive (everything from Clinique to MAC) and i think every single drugstore brand.
when i first switched to powder foundation, i tried bare minerals and it was terrible. i wanted to give it another try though. i tried 2 other brands called www.aubreynicole.com and www.everydayminerals.com.

now i use Joppa, and it's fantastic.

great coverage
natural-looking
no shine (bare minerals had tiny sparkly particles in it)
comes in 2 formulations (soft and full).
was actually formulated FOR eczema & rosacea sufferers
actually doesn't hurt/inflame my red areas... which is amazing to me, because everything else does.
also, my incredibly volatile acne hasn't flared up from this stuff.
reasonably priced, but don't let that fool you! this stuff is the gourmet of mineral makeup, i kid you not.

there are a ton of mineral makeup companies out there (bareminerals, the mainstream one that everyone knows about), but i think this one outshines all the ones i've tried. they just opened up their first retail store, and i honestly think they'll be really big in a few years -- the coverage is that good. i'm a member of an online acne community, and that's where i heard about this company -- a lot of people there use it and love it.

lol...i think i'll shut up now, before i start sounding like a commercial for them. :p anyway, if you do try it, hope you enjoy. i bought their starter kit, and a few others of their products. if you have any questions, let me know, and i'll tell you which ones i think were (and weren't) worth it.

Answer 4

I Cured Rosacea Naturally?

Answer 5

You really need to read "Rosacea Free Forever" by Laura Taylor (also available in electronic format here: http://www.rosaceafreeforever.info ). It's about how to permanently cure your Rosacea naturally. I cured my Rosacea permanently in only 4 days after reading this.

Stop paying paying each month good money on creams. This is exactly what the pharmaceutical industry wants you to do! They want to milk money from you each month.

Answer 6

Estee Lauder is pretty expensive. Try M.A.C or Clinique for something cheaper and they are still popular brands that are good.

Answer 7

Bare Minerals

Answer 8
