Is ALL MAC makeup bad for your skin?

I used to use MAC and noticed some tiny breakouts starting to occur so I stopped using it. Granted, I was using the Studio Fix foundation and studio fix compact on top of it. I am wondering if they make any full coverage products that won't eat up my skin so bad...any suggestions would be appreciated!Is ALL MAC makeup bad for your skin?
First off, Studio fix fluid and studio fix powder aren't meant to go together. They're two different kinds of foundation. So basically, you're wearing two layers of medium-coverage foundation (waaaaay too much!), which might explain why you're breaking out. Pick one or the other (liquid if you have dry skin, powder if you're oily) and roll with that. If you're looking for a powder to set your liquid foundation, try a translucent pressed powder.





If you're looking for fuller coverage, try Studio Sculpt foundation, or pick up the Studio Finish concealer to cover up your imperfections, and use one of the studio fix foundations to even out your skintone.

Basically, most types of makeup aren't bad for your skin. You just need to make sure you're applying non-expired makeup in a sanitary fashion. If you put on liquid foundation and rub it in with your fingers, are your hands clean? Use some purell beforehand to prevent any bacteria from jumping from your hands onto your face.


Do you use a makeup sponge? Switch it out for a new one at least every week if you're using liquid foundation, or every 2 weeks if you're using a powder, The bacteria from your makeup sitting out in the sponge all day multiplies throughout the week, and every time you re-use your sponge, you're just putting more of the same stuff onto your face.


Do you use brushes? If you're using liquid foundation, you absolutely MUST clean your foundation brush every single day. Clean the rest of your brushes at least twice a week, and deep-clean them with baby shampoo at least once a week. You can make your own brush cleaner by following the simple instructions here:

Oh, and NEVER want to touch a dirty brush or sponge to the bottle of liquid foundation. Pour a little blob of foundation onto your (clean, ideally Purell'd) hand, and swirl your brush/sponge/applicator around in the blob. This will also help your makeup last longer, because you'll notice you end up using less.


And always make sure you wash your face when you wake up in the morning and before you go to bed at night.

How are u applying your MAC makeup? If you're using brushes are u cleaning them properly? Usually this is the problem. People think its the make up thats making them breakout when in fact is the bacteria accumulated in the brushes. Also do u dip ur brush back into the makeup or do u pour some out on the side? If you touch ur brushes to your makeup u are putting back any bacteria on the brush into you makeup leading u to breakout everytime u use it.


Also, if u share your makeup with your friends that might bring bacteria to your makeup.
MAC is usually really good with skin, super safe and everything.


MAC is a good brand, so maybe if you just used it for lips and eyes you'd avoid breakouts.
Mac's coverage is very nice, but I breakout to almost every type of foundation in Mac.
