Itchy Make Up

I had been using Bare Escentuals mineral makeup and Mineral Veil for two or three years now and recently, I discovered it was making my face itchy. Now that I think back, it’s probably been irritating my skin for all the times I’ve been using it but I had chalked it up to acne or bug bites. It wasn’t until yesterday that my mom asked me what was up with the redness and scratching? After some conversational sleuthing about what I’d been putting on my face these past few days, we finally figured out that my makeup is irritating my skin. Not that I ever need a reason to buy makeup but yay, I get to buy new makeup! As it happens I read about a website yesterday, Goodguide.com which provides ratings on consumer products based on how safe they are to your health and the environment. So I’ll be poking around looking for something to try. If you have any recommendations, please tell me!
