    Default mac-bad for skin?

    Does anyone know for sure if mac cosmetics are bad for your skin?

    I have been using it for about a year and would like to know for sure before i switch cosmetics.

    i saw it brought up in another thread, and want to clear it up for sure..

    thanks!

    Every piece of makeup I own is Mac and I personally haven't had a problem with it affecting my skin. I don't wear alot of makeup though, and I do have facials regularly to really clean my pores, so maybe that's why I haven't had a problem. I think those with more sensitive skin may need to use other brands. It seems like it could be a little harsh for some.

    Maybe the foundations since they are not oil free. But i think the rest of the line would be okay.

    I may have many faults, but being wrong ain't one of them.

    Personally I love almays 'clear complexion' range...its the only stuff I use.

    I have 'problem' skin and it doesn't cause any 'problems'

    the mac skin care bothers my skin but none of their other products do. I can't wear their liquid foundation either...doesn't come in the right colors for me. I am able to wear studio fix though.

    I don't know if I could live without my StudioFix! It's the greatest, I hate liquid foundations.....

    Everyone's skin is different. Eye liner, mascara, and foundation are the articles most irritating to those with cosmetic sensitivities. The eyeshadows and lip gloss and lipstick from MAC shouldn't be a problem, though.

    I have very sensitive skin, and my studiofix has never been a problem. I dont think
    I'll be switching any time soon.

    I personally recommend bare essentuals mineral makeup...it's so pure you can sleep in it. It covers every flaw imaginable. It's a lil pricey, but hey, I'm worth it.

    I can't wear the liquid foundations of StudioTech - breaks out my skin BAD. The rest of the line is fine. As for StudioFix drying out, I've found that either using a makeup primer or misting with the Evian mist after application helps a lot. Where you are at may make a difference as well... I could wear it with no problem in Seattle but the dry air in Nevada makes it dry and cakey unless I use the above helpers.

    I love Nars foundations, btw.

    TFD, I wore studiofix for years (never had a problem with it drying out tho not sure what you mean) Sometimes my skin would break out but the great thing with studiofix is that is sure as hell covers up everything. I also recently switched to bare minerals last month (studiofix is just too much for daytime now that I don't dance) and I really love it. Bare minerals is not bad for your skin they claim it's good for it; so good it's recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation.
