If your make-up contains anything but pure mineral pigments from the earth, you may have bacteria lurking in your make-up.
Read the ingredients. See if the list contains oils/lipids, vitamins, talc, bismuth oxychloride, corn starch, rice powder, dimethicone, or cyclomethicone. These serve no other purpose than to act as harmfull additives that can cause breakouts, inflame sensitive skin conditions like roseacea and acne, and cause fine lines and wrinkles to be more apparent, due to the make-up depositing into the lines.

Mineral powder make-up, which leave off harmful additives and fillers, are all the rage. And for good reason. They look good, are healing to the skin, and one shade will fit a wide variety of skin tones, due to the ingredient "mica", which refracts light away from blemishes and skin imperfections giving the soft glow of healthy, blemish-free skin and a smooth complexion. They are water-resistant, have a high natural sun-protection factor, refract light and are free from food-grade additives. They are unable to clog pores, because they lie on top of the skin in thin, over-lapping sheets, that allow your skin to breathe. Who doesn't want that? Throw out that old make-up today!
