What can you do? Stop using it. See if your face stops itching. IF it doesnt stop itching then you know something else is causing it. If it stops, then send the makeup back.

I have extremely sensitive skin and have been using BE for more than 20 years - never had a problem.
The powder has looked and felt the same, whether it was purchased years ago or several months ago.

What are you using to apply the BE? Their brushes are sort of irritating to me & with all of the buffing you do to apply it, that could be a possibility.

Same here! After leaving BE came back. No longer experience sensitve issues. Holiday Rose Gold with brush purchased. Love the brush. Natural kit and skinny dip bronzer summer bisque concealer.

In my case, it was the bismuth oxychloride in the foundation. I simply can't use it because of the pinprick like itchiness it causes. I can use the matte version with no problems. It doesn't have the bismuth in it.
Maybe it's the primer though? I don't know if that's a new thing for you, but it's a thought.

You have the classic symptom of a sensitivity to the Bismuth Oxychloride in the formula. Change to the Matte version.

Hi all! I've noticed since starting to use BE original formula makeup that my face itches like crazy after my make has been on for a little bit or when my face gets a little hot and sweaty. I just started using BE again after not using for about 3 years due to the job that I had (no makeup). I'm using the primer and still my face itches. Any suggestions as to why and has anything changed in the product. What can I do? HELP!!! Thanks.
@MzRitchieI agree with the other poster that said it is the bismuth oxychloride. If you switch to the matte formula, that does not have B.O. in it. I can wear the matte formula fine. In fact, I've worn it for years.

I found the same thing happened to me. I switched to matte and that works fine. Also the brushes they give you in the kits are what caused 99% of my problem. I can use the original in the colder months with no prob. I use the " Sam & Nick Chapman" face brushes from Ulta. Hope this helps you. There are a few YouTube videos also that give good tips.
