I really want to try and use the Mufe ultra HD stick foundation but I keep hearing that the waxes in the stick formula will break people out. I have adult acne (so more hormonal than anything) and was wondering if I would be affected too. of course I can just get a sample and patch test (which I'm probably going to do) but I would like some extra info before I take the plunge.

Thank you!

Yes, you increase your risk of breaking out if you are currently acne prone. It's a creamy, very natural looking foundation, but not something I'd suggest using daily, if at all based on your skin type.

@Rozberry J. Thank you! I guess I'll have to give up on this one (haha!).

You may want to try the new ABH stick foundations. They are supposed to be great on oily skin types!
