Can foundation or concealer give people acne breakouts?

i mean, it is really good for your skin ayway?


i just wanted to know, what do each do? i always hear girls at my school going ';oh yea, im wearing foundation %26amp; concealer right now'; what the heck is it? lolCan foundation or concealer give people acne breakouts?
Both can.Can foundation or concealer give people acne breakouts?
Both can give you breakouts if you don't wash your face twice a day, everyday. Foundation is more or less a make-up base that is applied to the entire face to even out skin tone, cover minor flaws, etc. Concealer is meant for spot treating major flaws (like a large pimple for example) and is not meant for the entire face.
umm its ok for your skin but you have to know wat kind to get...... DONT USE MAC it will break you our and leave you cakey so just dont go there clinique is good as well as covergirl and revlon but no mac ummm concealer covers zits or other imperfections and foundation gives you a soft clean surface on your face( if you dont use to much)
Some foundations and concealers can clog pores, or cause breakouts because of their heavy oil bases. Before buying any skin care product (i.e. makeup, face wash, or lotion) make sure to read the ingredients on the back. If the product includes something called ';glycerin,'; stay away from it! Glycerin is almost like Vaseline or petroleum jelly, and is used as a filler in cosmetic products. This will definitely give you clogged pores. Also, look for items that read ';water-based'; or ';oil-free.'; I find that cover-ups and foundations that include a mineral formula (Physician's Formula brand is great!) work best. They aren't heavier like most foundations, and also they cover up any existing blemish's, wrinkles, or age spots better than anything else. They cost about the same as your regular Cover Girl compact, but the quality is way better!
Most, if not all, foundations and concealers clog your pores, resulting in a buildup of dirt and grease which will probably give you acne and... just give your skin a general feeling of uncleanliness. I'm sixteen now, and a few years ago I wore both and had problems with acne, (I wore it in an effort to cover it up,) and it wasn't until I STOPPED using the products that the acne cleared up. In fact, it cleared up almost instantaneously, and has not come back since, thereby making the concealer and foundation completely unnecessary!!





People often compliment me on my naturally clear skin now, too, and all I do is wash it, use an Olay Daily Facials wipe once in a while, and moisturize it every morning. I'd highly recommend that strategy- you'll feel a lot better about yourself if you're bringing out your natural beauty rather than hiding your imperfections. =)
concealer is like a thick, colored cream that you put directly onto a blemish to hide it. foundation is like a colored lotion that you can put on your face to even out your skin tone and help blemishes a little. both of them can clog pores, but there are certain products that won't. in fact, you can even get foundation and concealer with salicylic acid [a product that helps treat acne]. there are many different kinds of foundation to choose from, and a few choices for concealer too. and foundation/concealer can be bad for your skin, but you can get oil-free foundations with sunscreen in them that aren't bad at all. it all depends on which brand/products you buy. i'm currently using an oil-free foundation from neutrogena with sunscreen in it, and a concealer stick that has salicylic acid and my skin is great. if you choose to wear either one of them, just make sure to wash your face everyday. hope this helps!
yes any face make up can..it clogs your pores..i use it but you have to make sure you are using a good cleanser to exfoliate and open your pores when you are all done lookin dolled up
