I've been researching make up online and in the stores and following Dr. B's recs for DSNW and excluding products that contain chemicals that can hurt my skin.
Guess what!! It works!! I'm so pleased!
Here's what I have:
Still using some of Laura Mercier's Oilfree Foundation until I've finished this bottle. I do mix up a little of my own potion using Jane Iredale Loose Powder Foundation with my sunscreen to make a tinted sunscreen.
May try Trish McEvoy Protective Shield Tinted Moisturizer next time.
The Revlon Age Defying with Botafirm stung when i put it on my cheek, so I took it back to Ulta.
Eye make up:
Bobbi Brown cream eyeshadow and gel eyeliner. Much kinder to my eyelids and eyes.
I've discovered that if you have Rosacea then you must try to stick to eyeliner that is black because the other colours have dyes that can cause problems.
Blush:
Bobbi Brown Cream Blush Stick. No sting, no burn! Yes!!!
Lipstick:
Laura Mercier Lipcreme
This is the only lipstick I could find in colours that I like and that does not have castor oil or eosin in it. It is hard to find a lipstick without castor oil in it! Many lipsticks also contain bismuth oxychloride. :o
Bismuth oxychloride is the major reason I can't wear powder eyeshadow well and powder blush too. It's also why many MU's cause intense itching.
So, for moi, Laura Mercier Lipcreme is a winner. No burn, no drying and no awful taste in my mouth.
Could not be happier about these finds!!
I appreciate Laura Mercier for posting all their ingredients online. This is something all the product lines should do if they want to avoid returns for stinging, burning and colour that does not stay true.
