I have dry sensitive skin and have developed a sensitivity to silicone. I get terrible itching from any product containing dimethicone, cyclomethicone or their derivatives. No it’s not anything else causing this. Makes the search for things that can be used rather frustrating.

As I found out last year when I went to get new contacts (made of silicone), more and more people are becoming allergic to silicone. I discovered I had this allergy. I have now developed an allergy to silicone in makeup and everybody is putting silicone and its derivatives, silica gel, simethicone, etc. in all types of makeup (foundation, eye shadow, mascara). This is really making my life hell. Guess I willl have to try to find some makeup that is not “natural”.

Silicone foundations are great inventions! It’s a second skin for all skin types and is breathable. I use my fave http://www.faceatelier.com – on all. It’s long-wearing does not cause breakouts and because of being hyper-pigmented your coverage is great. Silicone layered on silicone will cause ‘pilling’. Make sure that your not layering a moisturizer with silicone with a primer with silicone then a foundation with silicone. Plus, apply with a foundation brush – fingers and sponges make uneven textures and therefore uneven applications.

I’m kind of scared to try primers. They sound great and all but I also read that ingredients ending with “cone” are not good with acne.
So applying a silicone-based primer all over my face is a horrifying thought…
