Please reccomend your drugstore face powder and concealer

I've been a loyal Lancome customer for almost 15 years.

However, I'm trying to find less expensive alternatives for my makeup. It's difficult because my skin is so sensitive. I can't wear Clinique or use any Olay products, so I'm hesitant to find new makeup products.

Any recommendations for drugstore face powder and under eye concealer?

I don't like any of the bare minerals or loose powders. They are too messy for me.

I use the organic ones by Physicians Formula.

My skin is very prone to breakouts and having makeup without all the chemicals definitely helps

I second Physicans Formula. I like their loose mineral powder, but I also like the Organicwear pressed powder. (The blushes & bronzers & good too)

I used to like the Mineral Wear™ Talc-Free Mineral Cream Concealer ( in a pen--not messy) but I can never find it anymore.

None of their stuff ever bothered me when I used to break out a lot, but I don't have super-sensitive skin.

Neutrogena might also work for you.

I like their yellow neutralizing concealer stick.

Maybelline's Super stay concealer is also good--I just had trouble geting the right color.
I am not sure if long wearing make up would bother you though.

EVERYTHING makes me break out.

So far, this concealer:

Maybelline Mineral Power Concealer



and this powder:

Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Talc-free Mineral Face Powder



are the only things that work for me. The powder is pressed but becomes loose when you use the kabuki brush with it (which you'll need to buy separately). LOVE it. Covers better than any foundation I've ever used.

The concealer is good - not as thick as I would prefer, but because it's really the only thing that doesn't give me blemishes, and I use it under the powder, it works. I do not use anything under my eyes, so I can't help there, sorry.

I use Maybelline Dream Moose Concealer and I love it.

Also, I recently ordered Nars concealer on Sephora for $10 bucks and it works great too.
