There are many foundations in the beauty section of the department store, but if you have sensitive or acne prone skin, you will want to steer clear of a majority of them. You will instead want to look for foundations for sensitive skin, which are less likely to trigger a breakout or allergic reaction. Be sure to look for the words hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic or oil-free on the label. Many times people with skin issues that do not use foundations for sensitive skin will experience redness, bumps and other problems that can be avoided by being more selective with their makeup products.

Bare Escentuals produces a line of their bareMineral Foundation which provides skin with a radiant finish while at the same time offering sufficient coverage. Check out
