If your make-up contains anything but pure mineral pigments from the earth, you may have bacteria lurking in your make-up.
Read the ingredients. See if the list contains oils/lipids, vitamins, talc, bismuth oxychloride, corn starch, rice powder, dimethicone, or cyclomethicone. These serve no other purpose than to act as harmfull additives that can cause breakouts, inflame sensitive skin conditions like roseacea and acne, and cause fine lines and wrinkles to be more apparent, due to the make-up depositing into the lines.
