Probably not: As long as your make up is not overly occlusive, oily, irritating, or something that your particular skin is sensitive to, make up generally does not cause any long term skin problems. No, it does not cause wrinkles. Sun, other sources of UV irradiation, smoking, and the passing of decades cause wrinkles!

Content dependent : The contents of the make up our important to determine the safety and benefits. Having mechanical sunblocks such as titanium oxide is beneficial but I would attempt to avoid any makeups containing parabens. They reportedly act like synthetic estrogen which can be harmful.
