I only use
Herbal Basics, the lady who makes it has a store on ebay. Its the best Mineral Makeup (for me). It has more coverage than other's that ive tried but it goes on more smooth.
BE caused me to break out horribly and also caused my cheeks to get more red, for a week the redness didnt go down. I hated it so much.
Golden_Butterfly - I dont know if you exfoliate or not. But exfoliating can really help with applying make up. I have really sensitive skin that is prone to breakouts and I exfoliate my face once a week (friday nights) and when I wake up its taken off the dry rough skin and my makeup doesnt look ashy / chalky anymore. Goes on very smooth! Just a suggestion
