I love mineral foundation, but I would avoid both Bare Escentuals and all of the drugstore brands. They all include an ingredient called Bismuth Oxychloride, which can be a skin irritant. It can cause this kind of itchy feeling, especially when you get hot or sweat. It also makes the foundation have a kind of shine to it which you may not want if your skin is already oily.
I really like
Everyday Minerals. #1) they offer free samples, #2) they have 4 different formulations, so you can get more or less coverage, and a choice between glowy or matte finishes, and #3) they have olive and neutral shades not just pink or yellow.
