10 Popular Makeup Items That Cause Breakouts

Foundation: Some foundations, especially those with heavy coverage or certain ingredients like oils and fragrances.

1. Concealer: Thick or creamy concealers may also clog pores if not suitable for your skin type or if left on for extended periods.

Powder: While powder can help set makeup, certain powders with talc or heavy ingredients may contribute to pore blockage.

Blush: Cream or oil-based blushes can be problematic for acne-prone skin, as they may exacerbate oiliness and clog pores.

Bronzer: Similar to blush, bronzer formulations that are heavy or contain pore-clogging ingredients can lead to breakouts.

Highlighter: Some highlighters contain shimmer particles or oils that can cause irritation and breakouts.

Primer: Certain primers, especially those with silicone-based ingredients, can create a barrier that traps oil and bacteria.

Makeup Brushes and Sponges: Dirty or improperly cleaned makeup tools can harbor bacteria.
