Several things: If its on both sides of your face, i would stop using all make-up for 2-3 weeks to see if there is improvement. Use only gentle wash such as cetaphil or cerave or just water. Moisturize with a gentle moisturizer cetaphil or cerave have excellent creams. Don't use lotions on your face when it is irritated. Be careful with hair products; they can cause reactions as well.

Foundation: Try no makeup until the ras clears, and then see what products bring it out. It may be that any product causes eczema for you. The 2 year delay in the initiation of symptoms has no relevance, you can develop a hypersensitivity to a product at any time in its use.
