bareminerals is the only thing that doesnt make me itch and/or breakout. plus it feels so lightweight and i play around with the colors to match my skin tone during different times of year (i get dark in summer)

You have my face????

I started getting acne around age 9 and it has never gone away, completely. Some days are better than others, but it's always there. I totally have the ugly duckling syndrome from it.

My skin's combo too, on my face. The T zone is highly oily and the rest very sensitive and normal to dry. The skin on my chest is also highly sensitive, so I don't do the extra brush of powder I've seen some women do nor do I squirt perfume directly there anymore.

When I get settled, I'll definitely look into getting ahold of some Bareminerals.

You might check it out. In the Austin heat and humidity, makeup melts off your face. Bareminerals is the only stuff I've found that'll last awhile. I've got oily skin, and it doesn't make me break out.

I totally understand. My skin is sensitive like that too and mineral makeup is the only thing that feels really good on my skin. I use mineral blush for the same reason. I use Purpose for my facial wash and moisturizer and they really help cut down on irritation.

I don't have any dedicated make-up brands that I love. But I love Maybelline Express Finish nail polish and The Body Shop's perfumes.

My basics: mineral make-up, mineral blush, eye shadow, mascara, red lip gloss or stick, and perfume.
