When I say sensitive, I mean I'm allergic to zinc, iodine, glycerin, lanolin... you name it. And to top it all off... I started Accutane about 6 weeks ago. I'm one of the lucky ones and not peeling horribly, but I keep getting the "wow, you got a lot of sun over Thanksgiving!" comments and my lips are cracking, which is controllable

Here's my dilemma. I need to find a decent foundation and eye goop to wear as protection (and balance out color) during the winter months. I can wear Almay eyeliner and Neutrogena mascara at the moment. I had some Almay eyeshadow, "for green eyes," but not only did the cat break it, it made my eyelids swell up a bit if I didn't wear it every day. And it didn't look that nice. It kinda dried my eye area out. I'm trying to find out if there's any hope.

I've tried Clinique with a very bad result and I can't use the mineral-based ones because most contain zinc... The Bare Escentuals lady told me not to use even the ones that don't list it as an ingredient because it's in so many that most products will have trace amounts. The hives I had a week ago from a "light moisturizer" from Vanicream has made me really leery, but the holiday season is coming up and it's cold at night, I feel like I need some kind of protection from the elements.

So, those of you with sensitive and/or aggravated skin, what do you use?
