Make-up/sunscreen give me migraines... Recommendations please!

Over the past few years I have become increasingly sensitive to cosmetics and fragrances and now get migraines if I wear any make up (apart from powder blusher) or sunscreen. It is horrible as even though I'm not bothered about wearing makeup every day, I would at least like to have the option on special occasions! I was wondering if anyone else has the same problem and if you could recommend any cosmetics that you have found OK. I have also tried numerous sunscreens and any thoughts on less migraine inducing ones would be great! Thanks

What about something like Bare Minerals powder foundation?

Or I have many allergies and can wear most Urban Decay products as they dont use any of the heavy metal pigments (eg chromium oxide) in their products that I'm allergic to. They're in 95% of other brand products.

Alternatively I've also in desperation tried make up from 100 Percent Pure brand which is fruit based so minimal allergens.

Ultrasun works well as sunscreen for our allergic eczema prone family. I think if you contact them they will send you a sample to try if it's for allergy reasons.

Why not try some unscented makeup and see how it goes. I know.... pretty much every beauty product under the sun has added fragrances. Just have a look on
