Alternatives to Doublewear Light

I've been using a tester of Doublewear light, which I love, but it's brought me out in eczema around my eyes. Has anyone found anything similar?

I can imagine - it's like emulsion paint even the light version.
WhAt do you like about it? What's your skin type? Lots of info on mineral makeup which would be suitable for you to help eczema- Lily Lolo is a good brand- better than Bare Escentuals.

Revlon ColourStay is almost identical to DW. Except it has a faint smell when wet, which some people don't like. I really have not noticed significant differences, though - except that the Revlon one is only about £10. Might be worth a try.

The Rimmel 25 hour one is also quite comparable, and only a few quid.

I Love my Dw Light-it suits my skin so no eczema but definitely not emulsion paint!!!

I liked it because it was so light (not emulsion paint at all!) and was still there by the end of the day. I've only ever worn tinted moisturiser until now. Combination skin, not at all prone to eczema!

Second vote for the Rimmel 25 hr one, nice dewy finish and lasts v v well. And its about £7!!!
