While the Il Makiage product page doesn’t confirm whether their primer is non-comedogenic, I’ve done the research for you. Neither of the trusted websites I use flagged any ingredients in the Il Makiage primer as pore-clogging.
Here are the ingredients:
Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone crosspolymer, Isohexadecane, Octyldodecanol, Polysilicone-11, Polygl-yceryl-4 isostearate, Dimethicone/vinyl dimethicone crosspolymer, Dimethiconol.
The primer results:
After checking the ingredients on multiple websites, yes, it is non-comedogenic!
This is fantastic news for those of us with oily, acne-prone skin.
I always use these two websites to confirm if beauty products are acne-safe:
Skincarisma: confirms: no clogging ingredients found.
AcneClinicNYC: confirms: no clogging ingredients found.
How much is the primer?
It’s £42 (25ml), available from IlMakiage.com. Use code ‘welcome10’ for 10% off your first order. It’s free delivery over £50. I’d normally recommend a brush but you don’t need one for primer – fingers are best to warm it up to make smoothing it on better.
Is the Il Makiage primer good?
Yes, I think so! I use it to smooth out my skin, so foundation looks better and stays on for longer. It helps to smooth out fine lines, and fill in pores, so foundation looks a lot better. I wouldn’t ever use foundation without it because otherwise, it flakes literally straight away.

If you’d like to read about their ingredients, see my Il Makiage foundation and concealer ingredients check. I’ve also written about my experience with both foundation and concealer:
- my Il Makiage foundation review – great for oily skin and covering spots and hyperpigmenttion
- my Il Makiage concealer review – great for covering undereye dark circles and bags
