Makeup Recommendations - acne safe (non-pore clogging)
15
items This is my everyday, natural-finish, makeup for acne-prone skin. Most of these pass the pore clogging ingredient checker. The (*) products have a few flagged pore clogging ingredients. These products have worked really well for my skin, but everyone'...
This is THE foundation! A staple to have in your makeup collection! Leaves a beautiful and skin-like finish. Never breaks me out. Great for ALL skin types. Wide shade ranges that do not run too yellow/orange. I am a cool/neutral and use shade 1.5
Giorgio Armani | Luminous Silk Natural Glow Foundation
Go-to concealer! Hydrating, long-lasting, and skin-like finish. Works great as an under-eye concealer or for other areas of the face. I've gone through so many concealers and this is the only one that has not broken me out! It is reliable and is the ...
Giorgio Armani | Luminous Silk Concealer
Easy color correcting pot concealer! Great for quick makeup days or travel. Thicker in consistency. The green shade is perfect to counteract more red or cystic acne. I like to use the beige shade to cover large surfaces with lighter pigmentation, or ...
THE SAEM | Triple Pot Concealer
I don't normally prefer contour but this leaves a pretty and subtle sun-kissed finish when I want more dimension. I go pretty light but it definitely can be buildable. I use shade LIGHT. FYI = a few flagged pore clogging ingredients
*Makeup By Mario | Soft Sculpt Transforming Skin Enhancer
A soft finish - not drying or overly mattifying. Still maintains your natural glow! There are two versions - I prefer the “talc-free” version. FYI = has a few flagged pore clogging ingredients but has done well on my skin.
*Laura Mercier | Talc-Free Translucent Loose Setting Powder
Such a pretty blush! Versatile - you can go subtle or bold. I like to apply to the back of my hand, blend it out a bit with a finger, then use a brush to pick up the color and apply to the cheeks. My favorite shade is BLISS. It's the perfect pinky bl... FYI = I found that non-pore clogging blushes tend to be in this type of formula, rather than powder or cream
Rare Beauty | Soft Pinch Liquid Blush
I like this when I want a glowy, fresh faced look! I like the shade CHILLY - it's a cooler pink tone. If I want a more natural finish, I gravitate more to the Rare Beauty liquid blush.
Saie | Liquid Dew Blush
Makeup does not budge!! Best affordable dupe to the all-nighter spray! I used to use the Urban Decay All-nighter setting spray, but this one is less drying and does not break me out. FYI = Only 1 flagged ingredient.
*Milani | Natural Finish Setting Spray
Asian or stubborn lashes!! This is the BEST mascara I've used that WILL HOLD YOUR LASHES. I recommend using light strokes to avoid clumps - little goes a long way. Make sure to curl your lashes well prior. Then clean up using your fingers or a spooli...
Etude House | Curl Fix Mascara
A staple korean mascara. Perfect as a clean and simple everyday mascara. I recommend the “Long-curling” version. Easy to remove and keeps lashes up! I have oily eyelids - no smudging or racoon eyes.
CLIO | Kill Lash Superproof Mascara
My ride or die eyeliner pencil. I use the BROWN shade. It glides on well, has a slight shimmer, and perfect for everyday.
Clio | Sharp, So Simple Waterproof Pencil Liner
My most repurchased product! If you're looking to create soft and natural brows, this is it! It is dual-ended (pencil + brush) with a hidden twist out powder. I love using the powder to fill in the inner part of the brow or large surface areas. FYI =...
rom&nd | Han All Sharp Brow
Perfect on-the-go Korean lippie! It is moisturizing and smells yummy! I like the shade KAYA FIG. It's perfect if you're just getting into Korean lip products. Usually this is sold on Korean websites but currently it's on sale at NORDSTROM!
rom&nd | Glasting Melting Balm
Beautifully blends out liquid blushes. I like the wider surface area and angulation of the brush. I am not great at blending, so this makes it easier to apply blush!
Rare Beauty | Soft Pinch Blush Brush
So versatile! Although it's a foundation brush, I use this often to apply blush as well - especially when I want more control. This is frequently on sale at ULTA, usually 50% off!
