Ive been using it for about 2 months now and while the finish is good, I keep getting small irritation like breakouts in places Im NOT prone to blemishes. I stopped using it yesterday, hopefully the breakouts will stop so I can pinpoint the problem. I wash my brush every other day and havent changed anything else...
Anyone else having this reaction?
Liz--didnt you say this made you itch? |

VS- I tried this out in the winter time when my skin was ultra-dry anyway, but I definitely felt a bit drier and itchy when I used this stuff. I had a hard time getting a good color match too, so I just stuck with my Alima. Unfortunately, I didn't use it enough to be able to say much about breakouts, so I'm looking forward to hearing what others have to say. |

I tried this once. It was on for two hours and I had little itchy red bumps all along my jaw line and up the cheeks.

Thats exactly what they are--red bumps, no real "heads" to them. Ugh, I wonder how long its going to take from them to go away.  |

| Hmm...never had a breakout from Lumiere's VV. It is still my favorite but I haven't try many other MMU yet. |

| Unfortunately, my mother-in-law has been getting the bumps too from the VV. Now I've got to get her samples from other companies and hope that they work. |

| So far, I've tried Everyday Minerals, MAD, Lumiere's VV, Meow, and Lure Beauty. No breakouts from any of them, but MAD gave me the itchies. I loved Lumiere VV and will probably choose it when I'm finished with the sample I have. |

| I can't use Lumiere's because theirs have magnesium stearate in it, and that makes me itch/breakout. |

I guess thats what is giving me the reaction, thats what I get for not looking into MS.  My face has also cleared up 100% after I quit using it. Poop. More money down the drain. |
