I have tried putting on make up but some how the day after i end up with pimples on my face. People tell me that the chemicals in the make up irritate my face but when i tried wearing natural make up it also gave me pimples. Is there a make up that wont irritate my face and give me pimples?

I hardly ever wear make-up because I have the same problem. It doesn't really seem to matter what brand or if I wash my face really well when the day is done... make-up makes me break out. I think faces are different and it doesn't really matter how "natural" or "gentle" a product claims to be, there are some faces that won't take to it well. If you're determined to wear make-up then I'm sure if you experiment by trial and error you'll eventually find a brand that won't hurt your complexion.

Hi, I use so many different makeup
brands available in the market.
There were brands that has cause me pimples,
there are brands that doesn't cause me pimples.
Maybe the make up you're using gives you allergies.
Just try using many different brands so you'll know
which brand suits you best. It may also be that
your make up is contaminated. Clean your make up tools regularly.
Before, I don't always clean the make up brushes,
sponges, and puffs that I use in applying makeup.
That caused me pimples. So now, I always clean them
and I also make sure the make up I'm using is always
clean and not contaminated with dirt.

maybe you are just really allergic with make up or try to wash your face properly and remove all the make up before going to bed at night and put some moisturizer on it but the best advice i can give was to visit a dermatologist and ask about it and he/she can give you the best advice about your problem so you will know what to do

Well, unfortunately our skins react differently to make up, so some good products may not be good to others. If you can, explore which make ups do that to your face, but I think it would be best to consult your doctor, at least he would be able to give you a scientific assessment of your skin type. Unfortunately for some people, their skin get irritated by any form of make up.

I think the brand you are using right now is not suitable for you. The best thing to do would be to try different cosmetics. I know they can be expensive but what you can do is go to the make up stores and ask for the trial packs. That is what I usually do before buying new cosmetics.
The other thing is wash your face before going to bed or as soon as you are home. But I assume you do that already

i seldom use make up but when i use it, it would cause some pimples too but not so visible. what i do is just was it with a mild soap everyday then it disappears after several washes. maybe for your case you must consult a dermatologist so she could recommend to you products that are friendly to your skin type.
