So I've been breakout out whenever I got a day with makeup on. It's not a bad breakout, maybe 3 or 4 pimples around my face (But my face is usually clear when I don't wear makeup). Do you think it's my makeup? I currently us Missha Perfect cover BB. I've never really noticed, so I'm not sure if my skin has always had this reaction to makeup or if it's just this brand (been using brand for almost a year). I do wash my face and makeup off btw.

Do you think primer will help control my breakouts? If so, what do you recommend? And do any of you have other recommendations for what I should do or makeup for sensitive skin?

Primer helps. it acts as a barrier almost between your skin and makeup. also helps with oil and pores as well as keeping your makeup looking fresh for longer. I use the nyx one and really like it for 7 bucks. I notice whenever I d io by wear a primer I get little under the skin pimples.

You could be allergic to it.
When I used to wear foundation, I wore the Fit me by maybelline. It gave me a huge breakout on my face, so I tried a Lancôme primer, and even with a high end primer it still broke me out. But it's still worth trying with a primer!

I agree.Try using a primer and if it still breaks you out maybe your allergic to it.

Or maybe it's comedogenic? Primer doesn't always help and primer can also be comedogenic so check ingredients and make sure it's oil free and free of fragrances!

You may be using a product with some type of oil in it. I would recommend getting an over the counter face wash or spot treatment since they seem to work good with clearing breakouts within a good amount of time. And if the acne doesn't go away, Minocyclin (anti-biotic pill that kills acne bacteria) works great! I hope this helped!
