I'd say light coverage that could maybe be built up to something like light-medium. I like it because it gets so hot and my face is so oily which makes for a lame ass combo, that full foundation all the time isn't my favorite thing to do. Lasts pretty well on me though I do have to touch up around my oily areas and it blends in great.

Hey there ladies! I'm having a skin/makeup crisis. I saw the dermatologist today and was told I have to basically stop using all the face/ makeup stuff I use. I was told I can't wear my beloved Kat Von D lock it foundation ( a.k.a my war paint)

I was given a list of some makeup brands I can use and about a block away home a lightbulb went off and I realized all my mac, nars, ud, and others aren't on that list. If I use a foundation from a brand on the list but a blush from a brand that is NOT on the list does that defeat the purpose? What do you all think?
I would totally change the dermatologist

But Jokes Apart, I think a dermatologically tested foundation for sensitive skin type should do just fine. And chances are the list wouldnt be so elaborate as to include all the brands. So probably you can check the options given by the derma like ingredients etc, compare and find similar ones in the brand you love!

That's a bit of a conundrum right there! I think it kinda depends on the skin cause and why you can't use those items anymore. I'd maybe try using an approved foundation and trying out for a bit wearing a non approved blush. I'd also maybe call the dermatologist and ask them about it.

You know, I thought about it! I walked out of there so deflated. I went to try on bareminerals bareskin foundation ( it was in the approved list) and was like wtf is this?

Did your doctor at least give you any suggestions? To be honest, I've never seen a dermatologist. I have my dentist and Stephanie, my lady doctor. Yep, I'm on a first name basis with her. If you're diving down there I want first names.

My dermatologist gave me a list too a while ago. I didn't listen and well my eczema got worse :crybaby: to the point of tears. To the point I wouldn't leave the house ever! I urge you to follow the list, unless the makeup you use isn't affecting the current skin issue you have.

Both versions of their mineral foundation and the mineral veil made my face itch, had lame coverage and made me feel like a had some odd mask on. Total hate. Oh and I do not have sensitive skin at all.

I saw the dermatologist for constant dryness and flaking on my nose and chin that started this past winter. He told me exfoliating was only making it worse. I also tried out some mac skin care stuff and it broke me out and now I have pigmentation marks that have lasted for a month. I'm gonna try the approved foundations with my usual blushes and shadows. I can't give those babies up!

I'd think changing the foundation would suffice. I hope just changing that works out for you! :)

Lol, the list of recommended makeup brands are Almay, Clinique, bareminerals, neutrogena and physicians formula. All stuff I've never used! :haha:

I used Clinique for almost seven years, their three step skincare and I never had any problems. I recently switched because I wanted to use more natural products but I still use their toner. I can testify for Neutrogena too - I really like that brand a lot. They never made my skin 'amazing' but they kept my skin healthy. I still use some Neutrogena and Clinuque products, but I'm currently using Fresh and Ole Henriksen products as well and I find they're working well too.

Good luck!! I hope it works out for you!

Those are all brands I didn't like. They either didn't have a shade that matched me or my skin hated them. I hope you have better luck. I know I'd have a hard time letting go of my MAC foundation. YOU CAN PRY IT OUT OF MY COLD DEAD HANDS.

I am planing to go to sephora today to get NARS foundation pump. I have totally avoided the KVD thread so far except to peep in and see few FOTD's.
girlhaha.gif
But the shades I am more interested are Player and Lullaby for which I couldnt find swatches of. Motorhead is also pretty. Poe, I like but I dont like blue on me. Hopefully I would be able to avoid the whole section.

But then there are those new bite crayons I need to check out too. I should rather order that foundation pump online if I know better
