Safe make-up

With all the talk about phlates and zinc oxide, I was wondering if you ladies have any suggestions for safe cosmetics.  I NEED some kind of foundation.  Suggestions needed!

Thanks!

I'm using Bare Minerals, but who knows whether that's "really" natural. I haven't done too much research so I end up not wearing make-up most of the time.

Do make sure (as I think most of us know here) to NOT use products with parabens (methylparabens, ethylparabens, etc.). Those act as xenoestrogens (they mimic estrogen in the body). Some might say the effect is so minimal that it doesn't matter, but MANY, MANY products (shampoos, soaps, cosmetics, lotion, etc.) contain parabens and the effect is cumulative. Parabens have been found in bc tissue so this isn't just quackie altie theory.
