Cystic acne and foundation?

I've tried tons of foundations. Everything from the cheap stuff to the high end mineral foundations. Right now I've got 2 $30 foundations that I can't use, because they break me out too. I wash my face with good stuff, and use nice acne creams. Anytime I use foundation my skin breaks out! Has anyone found anything that works good? With good coverage?

Additional Details

I can't use and type of powder. Not even the mineral powders. Max Factor panstick doesn't break my skin out as bad as those powders do.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

are you normally oily or dry? do you want a liquid, powder, cream? what kind of finish- matte or dewy? what kind of coverage- light, medium, or full?

i have worked at merle norman and sold avon for years. i have seen girls and women get cystic acne from bare minerals and mac.. so bad that they could not wear makeup for 4 months or more, and had to get steroid and antibiotic presscriptions from a dermatologist.

what are you looking for in a foundation?
