Working in retail cosmetics for the past several years, I get asked about ingredients so frequently that I often find myself stumped by what is really in the products that I sell. So I have started researching ingredients online in order to better perform my job and to educate myself so that my own skin is well taken care of.
There are so many allergies now that I can recall a time when I was doing a foundation match on a young girl for MAC Cosmetics Face and Body Foundation, which is primarily water based and considered to be a very mild foundation. As I swiped my brush on the girl's face with the Face and Body Foundation, her skin immediately broke out in hives! I couldn't believe how fast her skin reacted! The girl didn't even have time to realize her skin was having a reaction, but I immediately wiped off the foundation with water and a tissue.
