What foundation is better for acne prone skin, Bare Minerals or MAC?

I%26#039;m a teenager and I get so much acne so instead of using drugstore makeup, I%26#039;ve decided to use a little more expensive products. I%26#039;ve heard awesome reviews about MAC and Bare Minerals and I%26#039;m just wondering, what foundation provides more NATURAL looking coverage and LASTS longer, MAC or Bare Minerals?|||I%26#039;ve used both and I always thought (when I had to switch over to BareMinerals because of my skin) %26quot;omg! i miss my MAC so much! bareminerals sucks!%26quot;


so one day at a football game (I%26#039;m a cheerleader and I sweat constantly because of it lol) i decided i%26#039;d try MAC just one more time


what a mistake! i hated it! my skin turned spotty where i had wiped the sweat off because MAC is pretty much waterproof, but not sweat proof.


bareminerals is sooo much better for your skin and even though its not sweatproof it just feels so much better!





bareminerals allll the way!





(my dermatologist also said that MAC is the worst for your skin! hence the switch!)|||STAY AWAY from MAC - especially if you have acne-prone skin. MAC does have great items but it%26#039;s one of the worst line when it comes to skin health. Since they we%26#039;re originally created as stage make-up, their items are filled with parabens, chemicals, and fragrances - everything that irritates your skin.





Most traditional make-up is filled with chemicals so if you have acne-prone skin sitck to natural cosmetics and minerals. (Seriously, if you only knew what was in make-up - you would never wear it again - it%26#039;s so bad for you)





I hear mix reviews about Bare some people love it while others hate it - I don%26#039;t hate it but I think it makes me too shiny so I stop wearing them.





I recommend Raw Natural Beauty. They have an awesome mineral line and color collection. I%26#039;ve been using their minerals since November and I LOVE THEM!!!! They have totally help my skin clear up - it%26#039;s the only line that contains skincare ingredients so it actually helps your skin. I%26#039;ve noticed a huge difference.





I also just started buying their mascara and their Soft Focus Skin Perfector (tinted moisturizer) and I love them both. It really doesn%26#039;t feel like natural make-up - it%26#039;s very upscale-looking but affordable.





You can check them out at www.rawnaturalbeauty.com





Bottom line - Swtich to natural or mineral make-up and you will start to notice your skin clear up - but make sure you buy items that are truly natural (read the ingredients and ask).





Good luck!|||are you sure you don%26#039;t want to try to venture into something else? you can check our Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer. It%26#039;s more than what it%26#039;s really called. It could pass as a foundation with good coverage but would not leave you with a very heavy mask like feeling. Laura Mercier is for those who have sensitive skin because Laura herself has a very sensitive skin so she created something that not only she can use but also those who have the same problems as hers. I got this information from the color specialist from Laura Mercier when I asked for some advise...goodluck!|||bare mineral(:|||Obv. Bare Minerals.
