Re: mineral foundations for rosacea

[Guest guest]

If you check the archives, you'll find numerous posts regarding those

foundations. Jane Iredale seems to be the most popular, with

Youngblood coming in second. Philosphy also makes a mineral makeup,

I'm only suggesting it bec their products are more mass marketed and

therefore, easier to obtain. I personally have not used it.

Take a quick run thru the archives, you find the pros and cons.

but the derm said that foundations just help to exeborate the

sebderm so I decided to give the minerals foundations another go. I

have used them before but could not find a good colour for me.

> Just wondering if any of you use them and if you have a preference.

all of thme are supposed to provide good irritant free coverage for

rosacea

Hi -

I'm happy to hear that your meds are helping! As for mineral foundations, I

use Jane Iredale, but I must admit that the color isn't quite right (too

pale).

I bought a sampler set of La Bella Donna mineral foundation powders from a

site called http://www.whosthefairest.com , but they don't carry them

anymore, I've just discovered! I feel that the Bella Donna stuff goes on

even smoother than the Jane Iredale, and the Jane Iredale is pretty darn

impressive (when I tried the J. Iredale, I almost wept because it was the

first time in years that my skin looked " normal " ). Most liquid foundations

would not stick to my nose, & if I applied them lightly to just my red

areas, you could see a texture difference (the only one that didn't have a

major texture difference was the foundation from Aveda).

Back to the La Bella Donna - it's application/texture is smoother, & the

color that works for me is a bit warmer (the J. Iredale equivalent is too

pale, & the next color is too pink). Oh, I just looked for other sources of

La Bella Donna & got no-where. I did find a phone # - 1-800-74BELLA, & they

have a website in the works (http://www.labelladonna.com)

I wish you luck in your search!
