Please can I have recommendations for a foundation for very sensitive skin. I also have rosacea so need good coverage and get dermatitis round my eyes if irritated. Thank you!

This is my current combination. The setting spray is really good as it stops my red nose blaring through the make up.

I read, and have success with, bare minerals type powder foundations are good for rosacea. Also Kalme chameleon concealer.

I bought Mac studio fix on Friday and it's perfect for my similar sounding skin.

I like the Clinique anti-redness foundation.

Bourjois healthy mix serum works for me

I use bare minerals but without a doubt the best thing that’s helped my roscea is full sun block every day, even if spending majority of the day inside

Another one for Clinique redness solutions foundation which I use with the pressed powder in the same line. I've used it for years and it doesn't irritate and covers the red.

I can no longer wear a liquid foundation as they all make my rosacea much worse and break me out in spots. I swear by Laura Mercier Mineral Powder Foundation. I've used it for about ten years. It has great natural coverage that neutralizes the redness perfectly without breakouts. Expensive but a little goes a long way.

I'm aware of the mineral powder foundations but I can't stand the mess. I think I will try one though as liquid foundation seems to give me an even redder nose.

With the LM powder, it has a sifter, which I only open slightly then tap some powder into the lid. The key thing for application for me is a big flat brush or kabuki style brush. These spread the powder foundation easily with a swirling motion without too much mess. They are also excellent to help build up the coverage where you need it most. (On me that's the nose and chin)
In fact the more I buff the powder the better the coverage.

I have tried the bare mineral powders, both types, but found them too dry. The LM is a more creamy powder if you see what I mean.
Good luck. I hope you find one you like.
