Uh.
Moisturizer?
Exfoliators?

You cannot cake makeup onto dry flaking skin. You need to help treat the flakes before applying makeup.

Eczema is pretty much really really dry skin that is sometimes flakey or in a rash form

If you have eczema on your face I recommend clearing it up before you even consider putting make-up over it (I’m a fellow eczema sufferer, have been for years). After that, I imagine bare minerals would indeed be gentler on your skin if it is sensitive (I say this because I have eczema but my skin isn’t particularly sensitive- a very weird paradox I’ve never understood).

Question by NyNy: What is a good makeup line for someone with eczema?
I want to go all out. The foundation, powder, eye liner, eye shadow, blush, mascara, and lip gloss. But if you know of a good lipstick that is not dry and thick, then I will try that as well. Thanks!

Bare essentials is wonderful. it’s actually good for your skin. It may be a little on the expensive side, but it’s worth every penny. Some dermatologists sell it. My sister bought it, and it cleared up her acne. Eye liner and mascara shouldn’t bother your skin. If you have allergies, try using clinuqe for eye liner and mascara. I promise, once you use bare essentials for about a week, you won’t even remember you have excema. I had that on my arms, and I loaded on cortizone ten before i went to bed. It helped me a whole lot.

I have horrible eczema on my eye lids. They turn really scaly and flaky. I have used elidel but it only makes them burn. Is there a magical cream that can fix it and allow me to use eyeliner and eye shadow without it looking flaky and gross?

Having spent a fortune on makeup recently as I’ve had a problem for a while with my eyes, the doctor told me it was contact dermatitis from something I’m using on them. I tried lots of makeup (Clinique – hypoallergic), then thought it was lanolin so spent a fortune on No.7 range which is lanolin free, I wore this for 3 days in a row and thought it was working, I was so happy, then I woke up this morning with huge puffy, red and itchy eyes just like before. I then read on internet that it maybe bismuth oxychloride which is in a lot of makeups and can cause my symptoms and that I should try mineral makeup so I’ve ordered two samples from Lily lolo and bare essentials, fingers crossed! To be honest I’m so down and feel like there’s nothing I can do. I get married in 4 months and keep thinking it’ll be a disaster because I can’t seem to wear any makeup. Does anyone have any info to help me, I feel so down about this.
