Hypoallergenic product recommendations needed!

I stopped wearing makeup a little less than a year ago when I fell into a depression episode. During this time I also stopped using all of my skincare products. This week I had a couple of job interviews so I decided to dig out my old makeup and skincare. Checking expiration dates, I sorted through all of my products and made sure they were still safe to use (I even replaced some). But by the end of my interview day, my whole face was swollen and I developed acne (which I recently learned was an allergen response) and some small hives. On top of that, the days following I had the worst stye on my eye that caused a migraine.

Does anyone have any hypoallergenic product recommendations or any helpful tips on how to combat reactions like this? I have an inkling that this could be related to a medical condition I might have (I’m seeing a specialist later this month) but if I am going to be going on interviews/back to work I would like to be able to wear makeup again.
