Foundation?!?!?

Question

I have problem finding a foundation that looks good on my skin . I'm a light medium skin... but I have a problem, my skin is alway s flushed ( my skin is very sensitive!). That means that my skin always looks red and irritated.
What to do? Any ideas?

You should look into buying Bare Minerals, it's really great for all skin types. When you use it, you'll wonder if you have anything on. It's really great for your skin, it helps to improve anything that may occur. It doesn't irritate your skin, it pretty much nourishes your skin, with wonderful nutrients.

Here's more info. from the site:

I use mineral makeup by Bare Escentials. It's great on my combination skin and covers my red cheeks well. They sell them at Sephora or sephora.com. The set is about $60 and comes with two shades of foundations one for summer and one for winter, 3 or four brushes and a kabuki one for foundation, as well as bronzer and loose powder. The whole collection is powder-based but it's easy to use. The lady at Sephora gave me a demonstration.
P.S. it has a natural SPF 15.

Answer 3

Try Exuviance it is make for troubled skin. It is what I use. I love it! Great coverage, lots of colours to choose from & stays on for a long time.

You may also have rosacea- the red flushed skin. Try using Murad's skin care line for sensitive red skin. You can see what they offer on their website.

Answer 4

Have you ever tried a tinted moisturizer? They are designed to cut down the redness in the skin and act like a moisturizer at the same time. Try Biotherm's Aquasource, that's the one I use and have been very pleased.

Answer 5

Try puritycosmetics.co.uk. It is made from natural ingredients and makes your skin look really good! It won't irritate your skin.

Answer 6

try applying lotion to your skin before applying foundation. try Za foundation. the true white. im very fussy in choosing foundation and i think Za's true white is the best foundation i've ever got.
