    I am young and you are probably right about that. Especially bc some concealers are marketed with sal acid. I didn’t notice because I have dyscalculia which effects my mental processing of visual information but “normal” teens also just think because that is how its marketed that’s how it actually best works.

    What about using lipstick as blush? This seems the only way to find the perfect color.

    @Michelle: Are you sure? I thought the modeling college was located on Ganymede.

    Tree most lipsticks are waxy, buttery and oily, in order to hydrate the lips. If you used it on your cheeks you would be making yourself far more likely to break out even more.

    Yeah lip skin is thin and can’t get zits its totally different than your cheeks.

    If you have black hair and white skin you are probably cool toned. Clinique makes a pretty purpleish cream blush.

    I bought one from Tony Moly, the only color my friend said looks good on me. It is number two and is called pleasure pink, whatever that means.

    My hair is light and my face is kind of pink. I hope this will work for me.

    @Tree: Coral is a pretty universal color-it looks good on just about everyone. That would be a safe color to start out with. Before you apply the blush to your cheeks, make sure to tap off the excess powder on your brush. This will make the blush go on more evenly and look more natural.

    NUH UH! Coral looks lime oompa loompa on me. My skin is very pale and cool toned. Just wondering, is your hair a cool toned light brown or warm toned? Some pinks are neutral. You have to develop an eye for what kind of color it is.

    i found the mineral hygenics makeup line does make blushes bronzers finishing powders even eye shawdos and they only use 4 inredients Titanium Dioxide, Iron Oxides, Mica and Zinc Oxide.this is all i’ll be using from now on,since bare minerals makes 40% of ppl s skin irritated because of the Bismuth Oxychloride ingredient

    Bismuth oxychloride does cause itching in some people but I’m curious where the 40% number came from. That seems really high.

    Great blushes come in all pigment grades and price points.

    As far as formulation, my recommendation is that you choose a company who makes a lighter weight formula not only so the pigment and binding ingredient texture blends better with your BB cream texture but also to prevent possible product build up.

    Acne on cheeks are commonly caused from liver and intestinal digestive issues combined with pigments that are fine milled leading your pores to digest the pigments faster than those not experiencing digestive issues and hold on to them in the pores even after cleansing.

    In Korea, Clinique would be a company that is lighter in texture yet mills their pigments to support an easily clogged pore.

    I would suggest since you have natural color on your cheeks from the inflammation caused from breakouts that you choose a blush that is a neutral (both equal parts cool and warm). Your natural pink will show through regardless once your BB cream warms to your skin so you don’t want too much of a cool base.

    A neutral color to look in to that would be good for fair skin types in Korea by Clinique is:

    40% does seem high for a Bismuth Oxychloride sensitivity. Bismuth Oxychloride is in the majority of all powder based complexion products mineral makeup or not. That would mean a little less than half of women over the last few decades were unable to wear makeup mineral or not.

    Another side note based on my previous post is women that experience acne on their cheeks can be more acne prone to mineral makeup or HD makeup than others that are not prone to acne on their cheeks.

    Mineral Makeup and HD Makeup is particularly finely milled and those prone to breakouts on their cheeks find their pores tend to hold on to the minerals and get build up easier.
