i used mac loose powder and blush… before one month it was pretty gud but eventually i got break outs which sucks completely cause i have super sensitive skin… and i have oily skin too…
i need to get face powder… can u gals tell me abt some good brands which does not cause break-outs or anything…I don’t want to use mac powder cause that will break me out. I need loose powder. What do you suggest??
thnx in advance 
max factor , face power is absolutely amazing …
gives you good coverage and perfect for oily skin , i have sensitive skin too but thishas never given me spots or break outs.
comes in a good range of shades
MAC makes me break out too at times…I use it only for very special occasions and very lightly at that.
I have super sensitive skin and am prone to breakouts from so much as even touching something that doesnt agree with me.
I use and have used the following with pretty good results:
Lancome Dual Finish…their powders also come loose and are great all year round.
Clinique
Cover Effects…the best make up I have ever tried. Offers GREAT coverege and is formulated for sensitive skin as well as people who have skin problems.

yaa ma beauty stylist recommend me clinique but m too scared to use it… 
i mean mac is like th best noo… but after mac i dnt trust anything like i have got lot of acne 
Re: i thought mac is suppose to be gud but…
Bobbi browns loose powder I have oily skin and its perfect I wear it on top of their tinted moisturiser..
MAC makes me breakout terribly. Ever since I started using it (I was told it’s really good n such and it is good for coverage) I’ve been getting acne and blemishes.
Cover effects - just yesterday a lady from Vichy recommended it to me. She whispered it in my ear at her booth..lol!

Mac makes me break out too.
Clinique’s foundation is amazing, i’m not a frequent user of foundation but i bought this scared to use it incase it made me get spotty, but noooooooo it really didnt!
Reha what number do you use?
Re: i thought mac is suppose to be gud but…
really m thinking to get clinique but m scared 
Re: i thought mac is suppose to be gud but…
Clinique’s 3 step skin care system suits my skin to the par. Their foundation is designed on that basis to , so it dosen’t make you break out 
You do realise if you buy these products and they do not suit your skin you can get a refund ? always keep the receipt!
Re: i thought mac is suppose to be gud but…
lol i had mac’s recipt but i dunno i lost it somewhere in ma room lol… now i dunno if i will find it they will refund it or not no idea i think i bought in aprill
Re: i thought mac is suppose to be gud but…
should still be ok. I went and returned a foundation ( NC44) after about 7 weeks. I kept getting told i look ‘kali’ and it just looked horrid. Went to mac saw an asian lady and she matched my colour to NC 35 to give me the glow i wanted but still looking my natural shade.
MAC is one of those brands that people either totally hate or absolutely love. I’m acne prone but I looove MAC. Been using it for over 3 years and never had a problem. But I know plenty of others who break out from it.
As others mentioned, Clinique is another good option. I would also recommend you check out Bobby Brown. Chanel is nice too…I used to use that before MAC.
MAC is ONE of the best when it comes to heavy make up…its not the best when it comes to taking care of your skin. There are others out there far better in quality and coverage.
I love this stuff…really do.
Clinique’s Superfit is really light and nice for everyday use…thats a good option as well.
Absolutely! Either it works beautifully for some or terribly for others. It works really well on my sister and mom but on me…its a little too much and I break out instaneously from it.
Although the foundation is nice I find that Clinique doesn’t have too many colors to match our ‘desi’ tones. It’s also great if you have clear, blemish-free skin as it doesn’t provide a good coverage.
Re: i thought mac is suppose to be gud but…
Before you buy something why dont you take a sample home? 
Re: i thought mac is suppose to be gud but…
Clinique
Re: i thought mac is suppose to be gud but…
they don’t always do samples 
there is no samples at all infact i had a trail of evrything almost i wanted and i loved it i was looking differ man!! hehehhehe 
but now
Yup!
Well, what the make up artist does on you will look amazing because they are professionals and thats their job.
You need to go to a counter, pick up a brush and experiment with different shades until you find the one that works for you. If its a non-desi make up artist, ignore whatever they say. I find non-desies really dont know what to do with South Asian skin tones.
Re: i thought mac is suppose to be gud but…
You have to ask them for a sample so lets say if you’re buying foundation. They’ll put it in a tiny container for you to take home. I didn’t know this before until a friend told me. I used to buy all sorts of products without taking a sample home.
