Any digestion issues or anything like that? Maybe a probiotic or digestive enzyme could help?

Gastric issues or maybe a food allergy can show up on skin. Especially ppl that intake a lot of dairy. I see it a lot!! Look at Laura Cookseys Face reality acne clinic.

We did just talk about her makeup I recommended she try pure minerals. Do you know of a line Christine for darker complexions that is good ?

Not specifically, but mineral would be best. Red dyes can be particularly problematic, which is why I ask about blush. It is legal to use FD&C (dye) colors in blush, face, and lipstick colors, but ONLY mineral pigments may be used in eye shadow, which means that she can look for a pinky eye shadow color that will work with her skin and use that as blush.
