amyable Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Never thought I'd post a thread title like that! :laugh: My 15 year old is in a performance in a few weeks where she has to wear zombie-like make-up: white face, black around the eyes, black lipstick. The problem is she has extremely sensitive skin and the last time she had odd colored make up on, she broke out in a rash, especially where the black was. She'll need to do this for 4 shows and a dress rehearsal over the course of a week, so I'd like to keep her from an allergic reaction if possible! Does anyone know of a more hypoallergenic line of makeup that would have the white for the face and black lipstick? I can probably get away with eyeliner for the eyes, but I'm not sure how they are doing that yet. Thanks for any leads! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pippen Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I'm not familiar with these products but if you google hypoallergenic costume makeup and hypoallergenic clown makeup you'll get some hits to check out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amyable Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 Thank you! I'll try that ... I couldn't think of good google search terms. My mind isn't what it used to be! :tongue_smilie: And "hypoallergenic makeup" was just getting me normal makeup, not what I needed. Thanks!

Kebo Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I wonder if some kind of white clay beauty mask (such as kaolin clay) might work. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005VEE1AA/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2BHZF73QCEZYR You'd still have to test for a reaction of course, but they are supposed to be fine for sensitive skin. Sorry I don't have first hand experience with this, though I know I look like a zombie when I wear my green clay mask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HLDoll Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Mineral make up? I switched to it a few years ago and my skin does much better with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillfarm Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 What about using a zinc oxide ointment plus a little powder to set it for the white part? Many stores have hypoallergenic products like these in their baby care department. For the black, I realize this may be a crazy idea, but could you use some soot instead of makeup? We have a woodstove and I know I get a thick, black mark on me if I rub up against the inside of the door when putting new wood in. Perhaps if you put the zinc all over and then added the black on top of that, it would protect her skin from the black. Definitely do a patch test in a small area before doing her whole face with this. But it might work, and absolutely no artificial colorings or fragrances!
