2 Makeup Products You Should Stop Putting On Your Face In 2023 Because They Make You Break Out

Makeup is the gift that gives — in the form of color and radiance that you may not otherwise feel yourself exhibiting at six in the morning. But sometimes makeup, and particularly face makeup, is also the gift that takes. When you wake up with three new zits on your cheek or forehead that weren’t there before you applied your primer, foundation, powder, and concealer yesterday, it’s time to investigate their root cause. Depending on the ingredients they contain, some makeup products are simply more prone to clogging your pores and causing zits, whiteheads, and blackheads. Knowing ways to prevent this from happening can help you continue to wear these products if you choose, while avoiding the negative effects they can have on your skin. These are the two makeup products that are most likely to make you break out.
FoundationIt’s not much of a shock that the makeup product that you literally spread over your skin might make you break out if you aren’t careful. Because of the oil found in most long-wear and full-coverage foundations, foundation tends to settle into pores with dirt and sweat, which causes a buildup, which results in breakouts, says Amoy Gizelle, A makeup artist and beauty expert of over ten years and founder of AmoyGizelle.com.
“I recommend using a lightweight, oil-free or non-comedogenic foundation and applying moderately, adding layers only if necessary,” Gizelle said. “Also, properly cleansing and prepping the skin before makeup will help to lower your chances of getting pimples.”
Avoid applying foundation over skin in the morning before properly cleansing, toning, and moisturizing your face. And choose oil-free formulas like Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Liquid Foundation Makeup.
