Effects of makeup: Makeup doesn't have any major negative effects.It could cause a few skin reactions. Most of these reactions aren't severe or long-lasting. Makeup can cause acne. You'll be fine if you're diligent about removing your makeup at the end of the day and immediately after exercise.Certain oils in many cosmetics can cause or worsen acne. Some people experience allergic reactions to cosmetic ingredients
