makeup that works for lupus

hey everyone, with my lupus its really hard for me to wear makeup, im 15 and im in love with makeup. but the problem is most makeup irrates my lupus and havent been able to wear any at all unless i buy really expensive makeup. my question is for those who do wear makeup what makeup do you use that works well but wont irrate my face?

Hi Bek!

I was going through this issue too. I was wondering if you could list what you have tried, so I can then make suggestions without listing something that does not work for you.

Thanks,
Leta

I use bare minerals and I have a horrid time with most makeups but it works wonders and hides a lot of the lupus rashes

thanks i think im going to try bare minerals. i bought a 30 dollar foundation to try to hide my rash and i was a waste of money cause it irrated my skin, some mac makeup works for me some other stuff of theres doesnt, but its really expensive. ive tried all the covergirl, neutrogena, maybiline, bascially what you find on a walmart makeup section ive used and it irrates my skin.

Bek, I don't know any store, whether it be a drug store or a large department store, that won't take back something that you bought but were allergic too. Keep your receipts till you try the products, and if they don't work, take them back for a refund. I've done in more than once.

I hope you find something that works.

I've heard good things about Bare Minerals....I don't wear make-up all the time, but I have been using Clinique for awhile and like it pretty good. I hope you find something that works well for you.
