Having trouble with Accutane and makeup advice greatly appreciated!!?

To anyone who may be able to help me your advice and answers would be most appreciated. I don't want to bother my dermatologist over the phone with a simple question about makeup I'm sure he has much more important matters to deal with. Anyways I am currently on Accutane 60 mg a day. I have mild to moderate acne nothing to severe. However I began noticing that everytime I apply makeup I break out. I only am using makeup to add some color to face seeing as you cannot tan or shouldn't while taking this drug. The reason I guess this whole thing is bothering me is because I have been on all the tetracyclines before and I have worn the same makeup for years because it never caused me to break out. I use Physicians formula powder only for sensitive and break out prone skin! And like I said before before my immune system caught up with the minocycline and such I wore makeup pretty often and I never broke out. For some reason though I'm using the same makeup now .... for sensitive and every single time I wear the makeup now I break out... when I do not wear makeup my skin is a clear as can be... if anyone can tell me perhaps why this is happening when it never happened before it would be most helpful. Another thing I'm wondering if perhaps anyone else has experienced applying makeup and then a half hour later it starts to desolve or go into my skin. Certain parts of my face will be spotted like a cheetah on my face... I figured perhaps it was the accutane sucking up the makeup through my pores and perhaps that is what's causing me to breakout the fact that the accutane was getting rid of the makeup and doing it's job... again I'm confused thanks for any input!
