I've been searching for a good makeup line for acne prone skin. I've been using too faced foundation powder, flawless foundation, and the too faced primer and i have broken out a little cause of it but i wonder if bare minerals is good for acne prone skin
I have very oily, acne prone skin, so I've been struggling with this as well. I was using bare minerals during the fall and winter, and when I combined that with Urban Decay's de-slick setting spray it worked really well, but in the summer powder just cakes and goops up, so I've been looking for a good liquid or cream foundation. I'm going to try out Cover FX Total Coverage Cream Foundation, Natural FX Water Based Foundation, and Acne Solutions Liquid Makeup (thank goodness for Sephora samples!), since these seem to be getting really good reviews. I'm a big fan of Revlon Colorstay (liquid version), but applied lightly. I'm also giving the new "whipped" version a try soon. I'm sorry that I can't be more help, but I figure you can get some samples, like I am, and see which ones work best for your skin. Good luck!
