Can you recommend a makeup brand that doesn't make acne worse?

Hi, Emaly. Wrong makeup is one the most common causes for Acne breakouts.
When you have an acne-prone skin, it's better to use powder cosmetics instead of cream foundations.
If you still want to use foundation the best will be oil-free liquid silicone matte foundations, such as those containing dimethicone or cyclomethicone.
The best products are labeled oil-free and non-comedogenic.
These products were tested and found not to clog skin pores. You may want to check out your tips section in your plan for suggestions of good makeup products for acne prone skin. You may want to try products from Clinique that specializes in acne prone skin makeup products. 🙂
