    Hey there Megan Hathaway,

    Normally, I'd advise women to avoid using any makeup at all. But since you're in the acting career, I'll make an exception.

    When it comes to makeup, it'll be best for you to use those that are "hypoallergenic". It is least likely that you will get an outbreak of face eczema with hypoallergenic makeup. I won't suggest any particular brand of makeup for you because each person reacts differently for a particular brand. For example, if brand X doesn't trigger my face eczema, it doesn't necessarily mean that it won't trigger your face eczema as well.

    Before using makeup, use moisturizers that are both "hypoallergenic" and "noncomodogenic". These moisturizers are not only mild on the skin, but their "noncomodegenic" property also means that they won't be blocking your pores - so you won't get any pimples :)

    Hey ^ ^ i feel for you my aunt has the same problem and you can buy cream with foundation in it to help the eczema but for stage make up, you may have to consult your doctor and look around on the internet, I hope this helps, good luck! :) xx
