I used to use bare escentuals and mineral makeup and my skin was perfectly clear. Then one day it was as if my skin rebelled. It broke out into unclear, oily skin. I had not changed any part of my skincare routine, and I was taking good care of myself, eating healthy as always. I'm not quite sure what happened but now every time I use mineral powder, any foundation/blush/bb cream, my skin breaks out and becomes disgusting again. I was wondering if anyone had encountered the same issue. It has become a real problem in my life, because now I cannot use the makeup I would like to use. Please help!

That sounds like a reaction to an ingredient in the mineral makeup. Seeing an allergist could narrow it down so that you could know exactly what the problem ingredient is. It could be talc or bismuth, a lot of people develop sensitivity to those over time.
