Mac has a big reputation for causing breakouts and I really don't recommend it for sensitive skin. My friend has an olive skintone and after she used Mac foundation it actually bleached her skin and now she has white patches all over her face. That being said I don't know if it's the foundation or estee lauder cream that made you react, it could be a mixture of trying 2 new things in the same day. I would not use any makeup or that cream on your face until the bumps go away, then try the estee lauder cream again and see if it happens again, then you will know for sure. Is it itchy? My best advice when I get an allergic reaction is to ice it. It's the only thing that ever makes my skin feel better, and also applying 100% pure cold aloe vera gel (found at health food stores) can help reduce redness and sooth the area.
