I find many of the products in the Nude by Nature range are free of silicons and many of the expensive make up brands have dimethicone.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18167536753560929559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8649608938579178424.post-9009762183412277022016-02-23T10:51:09.975-08:002016-02-23T10:51:09.975-08:00Hi,
I just read your article about your (soy and)...Hi, <br />I just read your article about your (soy and) dimethicone allergy.<br />I have a few questions for you: has it ever been tested that you have a silicone allergy? <br />I myself think I have an allergy for dimethicone too. Recently I had a series of allergy tests. Nothing from the standard test came back positive, but I did seem to have allergies to some kinds of shampoos and other cosmetic products. Now I compared the ingredients and the one factor they have in common, is dimethicone. This is something that I can't find on the list of the things tested in the standard test and was not an ingredient of the products I did'nt test positive on. <br />What are your thoughts on this matter?Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14122535205353522819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8649608938579178424.post-84756403988112024432015-05-20T09:50:43.099-07:002015-05-20T09:50:43.099-07:00Maya, can't thank you enough.

I can't use primers, most oil free moisturizers have so much silicone in them even organic brands I just break out bright red like a Hummel doll and get tons of acne. I have very sensitive skin have since a girl and now in my 30's. So far even though not oil free the best silicone free budget moisturizer I've found is kiss my face fragrance free olive and aloe. I mix a squirt with a few drops water and smooth on my skin. Really calms it down. And makeup goes on smooth. Desert essence makes a silicone free one too but it has alcohol in it which can be an issue for some, Jason's vitamin e is good but only in extreme cold weather it's very rich for the rest of the year.I do feel your dilemma! Thank you. I'm not alone.

Depending on the type of primer you want, this actually can be pretty simple. Just add a few tablespoons of soy-free Glycerin (I buy Starwest Botanicals brand which as of last year was coconut-derived but double-check to be sure) to a spray bottle of DISTILLED water and maybe two drops of organic tea tree oil to preserve it. This is actually very similar to the ingredients in Urban Decay's or MAC'S liquid primers (except without the dimethicone) although I have yet to test it, so it's at your own risk. If you want to really recreate the ones in the store, simply buy the liquid dimethicone from www.makingcosmetics.com. =) Hope that helps and thank you for stopping by!Maya Marcottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05439004771232400732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8649608938579178424.post-75242279326833251422014-12-08T16:56:42.093-08:002014-12-08T16:56:42.093-08:00Do you know of any soy free face primers?Do you know of any soy free face primers?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07913776213690393814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8649608938579178424.post-13455737726618042772014-07-24T19:28:05.967-07:002014-07-24T19:28:05.967-07:00Sarah,

The niche for this genre could definitely be lucrative but more for a cosmetics line since allergic people are scattered all over the world. I did venture into this, but realized startup costs for both or even just building my kit as a gluten-free allergen-free makeup-artist would be extremely high with not enough return because very few people in Long Island who are getting married have severe food allergies and skin sensitivities. Also, after doing it for so long, it bores me. I would, however, consider doing YouTube makeup-artistry tutorials for people specifically with food allergies and gluten sensitivity...that has def crossed my mind..<br /><br />For now, though, the portraiture is definitely keeping me busy!
