Foundation Breakouts!

Hey guys!

I need some help. Lately I've been noticing that all types of foundations are breaking me out. I've tried Maybelline Fit Me, L'oreal True Match, Revlon whipped and colorstay and Garnier bb cream. All of them have broken me out on all over but especially on my chin, cheeks and my jawline. Any suggestions on what I should do or wear?? Please help!!

If you can, go to a dermatologist and see if you can find out if a certain ingredient in each of them is causing those breakouts.

Also: Did you use primer underneath? Or just on top of moisturizer?

I don't have insurance :-( that's my main problem... No primer just moisturizer..

I had the same issue. I used them all in search of a foundation that wouldn't make me break out. Bare Minerals has worked for me for over six years. I use a light moisturizer with acne medicine in it. I don't off the top of my head the brand, though. Good luck!

Try a tinted moisturizer (water based) instead, that way you get the coverage you need but your pores can still breathe underneath . Then just apply face powder on top of moisturizer to give you a matte look :)

@ Tameka - I do have oily skin @ Jennifer - does bare minerals have good coverage? @ Avery where can I purchase pur minerals? @ Charlotte a friend of mine suggested the Sonia Kashuk tm do you have any suggestions which is best?

Also a suggestion would be to get samples before you actually make a purchase. I know Sephora is good for giving you samples of products that you want to try.
