Ladies with rosacea-what is the best foundation/make-up to use? Currently using estee lauder futurist because?

it stays on well, and after trying many other brands and colors, it's the only one that has the right shade (desert beige). The problem is ; the last 3 times I've bought it in the past year the price has gone up 2 or 3 times, unlike others where the price seems to hold steady for 2-3 years!Ladies with rosacea-what is the best foundation/make-up to use?

I not only have rosacea, but I have large pores, and pale skin.





I've tried lots of different foundations over the years from Lancome (ridiculously expensive and ineffective) to Maybelline.





Consistently over the last 3 years I've settled on: Clinique Superfit and Bare Escentuals.





My fave is bare escentuals which really surprised me. If you use it, I highly recommend buying the kubiki full coverage brush and the concealer brush. Using those I get great coverage and it looks very soft and natural.





The other thing that helps tremendously is make up primer. I use a philosophy product called the gift and also got a sample of Laura Gellar from sephora. They really help to even the surface of my skin before I put it on.





One final tip - even though you didn't ask - Eucerin redness relief products - cleanser, night cream, etc. They are fantastic and you can get them at the drug store. They are a little pricey, but not department store pricey, and they are definitely worth it.





Good luck!Ladies with rosacea-what is the best foundation/make-up to use? Currently using estee lauder futurist because?
Estee Lauder is pretty expensive. Try M.A.C or Clinique for something cheaper and they are still popular brands that are good.
Mac product is nice and I believe you would be happy with the results
two words: MINERAL MAKEUP! :D





i have rosacea too. (and large pores %26amp; pale skin, like the answerer below! hehe.) i've tried traditional makeups, expensive (everything from Clinique to MAC) and i think every single drugstore brand.


when i first switched to powder foundation, i tried bare minerals and it was terrible. i wanted to give it another try though. i tried 2 other brands called www.aubreynicole.com and www.everydayminerals.com.





now i use Joppa, and it's fantastic.





great coverage


natural-looking


no shine (bare minerals had tiny sparkly particles in it)


comes in 2 formulations (soft and full).


was actually formulated FOR eczema %26amp; rosacea sufferers


actually doesn't hurt/inflame my red areas... which is amazing to me, because everything else does.


also, my incredibly volatile acne hasn't flared up from this stuff.


reasonably priced, but don't let that fool you! this stuff is the gourmet of mineral makeup, i kid you not.





there are a ton of mineral makeup companies out there (bareminerals, the mainstream one that everyone knows about), but i think this one outshines all the ones i've tried. they just opened up their first retail store, and i honestly think they'll be really big in a few years -- the coverage is that good. i'm a member of an online acne community, and that's where i heard about this company -- a lot of people there use it and love it.





lol...i think i'll shut up now, before i start sounding like a commercial for them. :p anyway, if you do try it, hope you enjoy. i bought their starter kit, and a few others of their products. if you have any questions, let me know, and i'll tell you which ones i think were (and weren't) worth it.
