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.

      This would definitely be an interesting study. We did an article on this a while back:

      For people of European ancestry, 2% is about average, depending on which study you look at. For Asian ancestry it can be higher. For full Sub-Saharan African ancestry it is zero, but in practice they tend to have trace amounts due to migration back into Africa. While each individual may have 1-3% Neanderthal DNA, it is not always the same DNA that is Neanderthal. Estimates are 20-70% for which parts of the human genome might be Neanderthal in any given individual. Another way of saying this is that 20-70% of the Neanderthal genome survives in the human population. The HLA genotypes that confer susceptibility to celiac (necessary but not sufficient) are known to be of human in origin. There are some other genes known to be associated with a higher probability for getting celiac (with the right HLA genotype) that are associated with Neanderthal DNA. However, there is no correlation between quantity of Neanderthal DNA and probability of getting celiac. Neanderthal DNA is associated with other autoimmune diseases. Lupus, Crohn's disease, and rheumatoid arthritis are probably the most strongly associated diseases.

      I believe most of us have tiny but still traceable neanderthal components in our DNA. If you have 2% it is considered high. It would be interesting to test the DNA of those with coeliacs and other autoimmune conditions to see whether we have a high neanderthal percentage. ? Sue

      Dermatitis Herpetiformis - follow up dermatology appointment coming up

      By BelleDeJour · Posted

      Thank you @suek54!  @trents she did mention doing it and asked if I had any of the little bumps left. I only had a few on my feet which I can feel but they are not very visible. She couldn't really see them but I said it was okay for her to touch me and when she did, she said she could feel them. My feet in particular were covered in them a few weeks ago but I now have very few left. I can still feel them slightly on the backs of my calves. I should have taken photographs but looking at my skin for the last year, well, I just haven't been able to, I found it too upsetting.  I think she just was in no doubt that all my symptoms matched dermatitis herpetiformis. My gastro symptoms (now also getting much better) seemed to confirm it for her. She was satisfied that my new diet is the cure and was very impressed that I am already taking all the vitamins and minerals that she would usually recommends. Actually, except Turmeric - does any take that? I am not sure what it does so will look into that today.  She has given me an 'open' appointment for 6 months time (I guess that means I can cancel it if I feel that I don't need it by then).
