Gluten-Free Affordable Makeup

Hi, I have been using makeup for about a year now. I was officially diagnosed with a gluten sensitivity about 6 months ago, though I have been avoiding gluten for about 4 years. I am having trouble finding safe, affordable makeup. I have been using mainly ELF and Rimmel, but I want to branch off into some more brands. I have been trying to research about L'Oreal, CoverGirl, and Maybelline, but I have come up empty handed as every site says something different. I specifically would like to find more foundations and concealer, though verifying the safety of a brand would suffice as well. I am currently recovering from an allergic reaction, I used a concealer that has made my face extremely red and dry -- my skin is almost pealing like after a sunburn. Please help me find more safe makeup brands.

I gave up for a while looking into makeup, but at some point would like to again.  I just got burned out researching things free of gluten, corn, and soy. As it is, right now I have about eight more pharmaceutical companies, trying to find safe versions or alternatives to two prescriptions I am taking.  But if I ever find out about makeup, I'll come post about it here.  It must be a hard thing to verify because I never seem to get a lot of very certain, definite answers so far on it. I have been just using the Badger Balm tinted rose facial sunscreen as sort of my foundation (I am photo sensitive so need sunscreen daily).  The slight tint, plus I am on the pale side anyway is enough to give light coverage, not a lot.  I thought I heard there are some mineral powder foundations that are suppose to be gluten-free, but I have not looked into that yet.  It is frustrating.  I hope you can find something that does not bother you.  It seems it can be a long process to figure out all you food issues, not to mention vitamin supplements, body care products, over the counter meds, prescriptions, etc.  that don't bother us.  It is a process. Hang in there.

Red Apple lipstick (I don't really like the colors they offer though)

Colour Pop is marketed as gluten-free too. They are not too expensive.

      Burning sensation when I wake up

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I forgot to mention that exercise also triggers it, except for the period right before I tried the gluten challenge where I could do moderately intense workouts without getting this burning sensation and extreme fatigue for days afterwards.

      Burning sensation when I wake up

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am 30 years old, female, and have Hashimoto's thyroiditis and suspected celiac disease (wasn't able to complete a gluten challenge, but have the symptoms and HLA-DQ8) or at least some kind of gluten sensitivity. When I first got diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, I went on AIP and never reintroduced gluten. Whenever I would eat a little bit of gluten I would wake up feeling very old, achy, and unrested, with a burning sensation everywhere especially on my hip bones and chest area. It felt like severe inflammation. This would also happen during stressful times and times where I hadn't been sleeping well.  This symptom had decreased in intensity and completely gone away before I tried to do a gluten challenge over a month ago. Now it is back and I have it every day when I wake up. It usually goes away or decreases in intensity after a few hours of being awake. Is this inflammation or something else, and is it related to Hashimoto's thyroiditis or celiac (or gluten sensitivity) or both? Could it be related to not moving for long periods of time (as is the case when I am sleeping)? I was also extremely sensitive to all foods when I first started AIP about 3 or 4 years ago, but with time, I could tolerate more foods and even gluten in small amounts occasionally. Now my stomach is super sensitive, I am afraid to eat again, and my stools are abnormal. Thank you.

      Inflammation and Menier’s disease link?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @MagsM Did your doctor do the DGP IgG and DGP IgA tests or the tTg IgG test.  It looks like he just tested total IgG.   Were you taking any medications or over the counter stuff before the test?  Some can suppress the immune system and cause false negatives.
