I’ve long been impressed with Becca’s wide range of shades. It overcomes the fact that this Australian based makeup line can be difficult to find (some Sephoras carry it) and high priced. Unfortunately, all of my personal encounters with Becca makeup have ended sadly.

This powder has very few ingredients, but somehow it still ended up breaking out my skin. It also contains fragrance, which can aggravate sensitive skin. Great color selection though.

Ingredients: Talc, Magnesium Myristate, <emParfum [May contain: Iron Oxides, Yellow 5, Ultramarines]

Italics=potentially comedogenic ingredients.

Price: $25

BECCA: Compact Concealer

This hard to find (and expensive) Australian makeup line has some of the  truest foundation/concealer shades for women of color. The concealer is a perfect example. It comes in an array of shades for neutral, yellow and warm undertoned skin. The end result? It  actually looks like real skin.

The concealer has two sides. One half provides medium coverage for the under eye area. The other thicker, heavier half covers skin discolorations. Unfortunately, this concealer also contains plenty of pore clogging ingredients. If you’re not acne-prone, go for it; but if you have a tendency to break out, you may want to skip it.

Ingredients:
Medium cover: Mineral Oil, Paraffin, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, Octyldodecanol, Wax, Magnesium Myristate, Tocopherol, Cetyl Palmitate, Beeswax, Carnauba Wax, Oleth-10, BHT, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Citric Acid, Glyceryl Stearate, Propylene Glycol, Fragrance [May contain: Titanium Dioxide, Yellow 5, Iron Oxides, Chromium Oxide Greens, Red 36, Ultramarines, Yellow 6.]

Extra Cover; Mineral Oil, Paraffin, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, Octyldodecanol, Wax, Magnesium Myristate, Tocopherol, Cetyl Palmitate, Beeswax, Petrolatum, Carnauba Wax, Oleth-10, BHT, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Citric Acid, Glyceryl Stearate, Propylene Glycol, Fragrance, [May contain: Titanium Dioxide, Yellow 5, Iron Oxides, Chromium Oxide Greens, Red 36, Ultramarines, Yellow 6.]
