I have to agree with the recommendation for using mineral makeup. I have a sensitivity to sulfites (used as a preservtive in most cosmetics). Soap, shampoo, makeup especially, perfume, bread dough, wine, toothpaste etc. I couldn't figure out my strange rashes, headaches/migraines, asthmatic episodes, sinus issues until a crabcake almost sent me to my maker but the allergist couldn't get me to test positive for a shellfish allergy. Turned out the crab had been treated with sulfite. I apparently had it all my life but in my 30's it snowballed. I now have to be careful not to "layer" too much -- when I decide to have wine I don't eat pizza or store bought bread, etc. I can't however, use any liquid makeup. Try the minerals but watch the generics -- they have the preservatives that might be causing your issues. Bare Essentials/Bare Minerals - or one of the more recognizable brands should work for you. Good luck.
