HELP! I notice every time I have a night out and decided to look extravagant by putting my face on I break out the next day like crazy. I tried different cover ups but It seems nothing works. I have sensitive skin and by that I mean almost anything that comes close to it, might cause me to break out. What are some good foundations & blushes that will not cause me to wake up regretting the fact I ever even put make up on.

I agree with Nichole that there may be something you are adding to your "going out face" that is causing these breakouts. I too will typically add a little something extra, whether it's heavier foundation, luminizer, etc. You may want to try experimenting with only adding a single product when going out to see which one breaks you out. Regardless, a night out will do a number on your skin! Dehydration from alcohol, cigarette smoke, sweat buildup from dancing...all these make my face feel so icky after a night out. Remember to wash your face before bed!!! If you aren't able to do a full face wash, buy some good makeup removing cloths to get the bulk of it off. It's better than nothing!

I just started using Bare Minerals, and I really like it. It's not heavy, and it offers just as much coverage as liquid foundation. They also have some luminizing all over face colors that give a pop of sparkle for a night out. Plus, you may find that mineral makeup will break you out less often. It's supposed to be good enough to sleep in it, so washing your face before bed won't be so bad if you happen to forget a night :)

This might be a question that may help you, but do you clean your brushes? I noticed that made me break out when I get lazy to do that. Also, microglitters can easily clog pores so after you cleanse your face with a facial cleanser in the shower, use toner and lotion :3

If you are going out and sweating dancing and all that more than you would on a daily basis you have to make sure you wash your face extra well that night so you unclog your pores. Also if your drinking alcohol for every two drinks drink a bottle water in betwen to stay hydrated. Mineral makeup might help your sking breathe better as well!

Hi Camille,

Nothing worse than looking stunning at night and waking up the next morning with breakouts...been there, done that! Try starting with a regimen that's right for your sensitive skin, that way your make-up choices shouldn't effect you in a negative manner. Nothing is more beautiful than having great, healthy skin!
