Makeup for sensitive skin/allergy

View quoted message I honestly love this foundation, I am a makeup artist and I have yet to have someone be bothered by the forluma or fragrance! I personally have extremely sensitive skin and break out in rashes from most makeup, but I don't have problems with this one! Honestly it bothers me that Artists won't compromise a price with you if using your makeup, yes we are worth our talent and technique but its the cost of products upkeep that makes professionally makeup prices go up.

I have contact dermatitis and it flares up with the use of makeup-especially eye makeup (i get a brutal itchy,red rash and swelling around my eyes), so i get where you're coming from. I was terrified of what might happen on my wedding day, so i informed my makeup artist before hand.

Lucky for me, she uses a brand called Makeup Forever (can get it at sephora). I didn't get any form of rash, and i didn't even have any irritation the next day either.

Honestly, try and find a make up artist or spa that uses Jane Iredale. It's fragrance free, hypoallergenic, and mineral based. It's the highest quality you can get when it comes to mineral make up. It's essentially skin care in make up format. I use this in my spa and I can't recommend it enough. I have clients who have highly reactive skin types and they are 100% ok with Jane Iredale.

Arbonne is supposed to be completely allergen-free. If you can find a salesperson in your area, see if they would be willing to do a sample makeover. And, maybe they would do it for the wedding too.

My friend had issues and went to Sephora--can't remember the brand but she tried it on and ended up buying it. I don't know if it was fragrance free but it was for sensitive skin. But, a really good salesperson will know all their makeup well. Try it on there, see how it goes for the day, and if it works then buy it. They might also do it the day of, it would just have to be at the store.
