Bare Escentuals Bare Minerals Complexion Make-up — 

I was in the mall one day and decided to walk in and try this new line of make up. I told the lady that I have very sensitive skin, so much so that I can't wear make up. Well she assured me that it will be safe on for my skin. I tried on the make up and blush. I was pleased that I did not get any skin reactions, took her card and make up info and walked out of the store. As soon as I got into the hallway I noticed a familiar tingling sensation on my face and started to get concerned. I walked into the store next door which was five steps away and my face started to burn like fire. I had no soap or water to wash it off so I went to the store clerk in torture asking for a wet wipe. Those are bad for my face but I had to pick the lesser of two evils. Thankfully they had one and I wiped my face clean.

My face burned and itched for about an hour and I left the mall frustrated that once again I cannot find make up that my skin can tolerate. It may be fine for most people but if you have really sensitive skin, you might want to beware.

Have you tried Almay? I have had good luck with their products and less to no irritation.
I found the B.E. made my pours really show up...not something I want people to notice right off the bat.
