Having sensitive skin means you can’t use any random beauty product or you’d find yourself battling breakouts, rashes, and skin irritation. A harmless dab of powder can lead to raging contact dermatitis and leave your skin a mess.
And have we talked about how “harrrrrdddd” it is to find a makeup product that understands the delicate nature of your skin and works without inviting a bevy of skin disasters? But that is about to stop because you can take the best hypoallergenic makeup products off our list without a hassle.
Hypoallergenic But Not So Hypoallergenic
NEWS FLASH: just because a product bears the label “hypoallergenic” doesn’t mean it will work for your skin. Some “so-called” hypoallergenic products do the exact opposite of what they promise. This is because there are no standard regulations for hypoallergenic products, hence, beauty brands don’t need to undergo any formal processes or testing before labeling their products as “hypoallergenic”. So you need to tread with absolute caution when buying products for your sensitive skin.
Always read the ingredients and make it a habit to do a patch test for every hypoallergenic product you plan on using. Watch out for harsh chemicals, suspicious preservatives, and synthetic fragrances. With that out of the way, let’s get down to business!
Top Hypoallergenic Makeup Brands for Sensitive Skin
Here are our favorite, tested and trusted, dermatologist approved and recommended, hypoallergenic makeup brands for sensitive skin:
Face Blush
Burt’s Bees gets a nod of approval from dermatologists because it is devoid of parabens and sulfates. Parabens are a form of preservative chemicals while sulfates are cleansing chemicals that get rid of dirt on the skin. However, they can be harsh on dry skin and hair, leading to skin problems like rashes and whatnot.
Product Pick: Burt’s Bees Blush with Vitamin E
Lipstick
As gorgeous and irresistible lipstick is, it can be a thorn in the flesh for sensitive skin. Most lipstick brands include waxes, fragrances, and dyes that can stir up a ton of skin problems. VMV understands the need for hypoallergenic makeup products, especially where lipstick is concerned, so they came through with their hypoallergenic lipstick line. We particularly love the Subtle Shine line as they do not harbor dyes, fragrances, parabens, phthalates, and all other problematic ingredients.
Product Pick: VMV Hypoallergenic Subtle Shine Lipstick
Powder
Nothing gets sensitive skin like mineral makeup, and the top of the list in this department is Bare minerals. Their products are specially formulated to tackle rashes, breakouts, and bumps associated with sensitive skin. The powder is a 5-ingredient beauty that works magic on delicate skin. It is free of fragrance and talc and you get to control how much coverage your face needs with every application. Plus, it lasts long without clogging your pores. If non-comedogenic was a powder, this will be it!
Product Pick: Bareminerals Original Loose Powder
Brow Gel
When it comes to manufacturing paraben-free and non-comedogenic makeup products, Physician’s Formula is a top contender. If you are looking for an allergy-free brow gel to make the most of your brows, look no further than Physician’s Formula Brow Gel. It is a dermatologically tested, fragrance-free, gel that incorporates a blend of organic oils to condition and defines your brows.
Product Pick: Physician’s Formula Organic Wear Brow Gel
There’s no mentioning hypoallergenic foundation without mentioning Colore Science’s Tint du Soleil whipped foundation. It is as good as liquid mineral foundation gets. The silky smooth foundation does not contain the slightest parabens, artificial fragrances, talc, and dyes. Instead, it includes ceramides and peptides that illuminate the face without inviting rashes or clogged pores. Though It is more moisturizer than a full-coverage foundation, it gets the job done!
Product Pick: ColoreScience Tint du Soleil SPF 30 Whipped Foundation
Concealer
Jane Iredale needs no introduction in the hypoallergenic beauty industry. You will be hard-pressed to find a better skin-friendly concealer than this. Ever the non-comedogenic, mineral concealer, the formula eliminates parabens, fragrance, and clogged pores. It goes on to blow our minds by including antioxidants derived from Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and green tea.
Product Pick: Jane Iredale Circle Delete Concealer
