Yes, certain kinds of makeup can make it worse. Some makeup has irritants in it that are just going to make acne more inflamed. Similarly, facial products with camphor, menthol, or peppermint oil should be avoided. They will inflame your skin. Otherwise, a basic regimen of gentle cleanser (like Cetaphil) plus a moisturizer is good. You can add specialty products to fight your acne if necessary, but your first mission should be to not irritate your skin. Currently I use Cetaphil daily with Neutrogena's Pore Refining toner (to keep my skin clear) and Nivea's Simply Glowing moisturizer. I only get the occasional rogue pimple, as Bill said.
If your skin is really bothering you that much, you need to talk to your dermatologist.
