If you have dry or combination skin, and would love to see the day where your makeup doesn’t make your face even dryer, then this post is perfect for you.
We have listed down products and ways that would possibly stop this problem, and hopefully make your next makeup experience a little more bearable!
Moisturizing Primer
Primer is a must if your skin is dry. Every makeup experience needs to start with a stable base and people with dry skin needs a moisturizing primer to prep their faces for foundation. Choose one with an SPF to skip sunscreen. They tend to give a more healthy and bright finish.
Cream/liquid foundation
Cream or liquid foundations are better solutions than stick or matte finish foundations if your skin is dry. Depending on how dry your skin tends to be, make sure to prep it well with moisturizers and primer before applying a light layer of foundation with a brush or beauty blender.
Translucent Loose powder
Since you would have to apply primer and foundation that has a moisturizing finish, a little of setting powder will be needed. In this case, translucent loose powder is the best to go. They are very lightweight, would not increase the thickness and coverage of the foundation but will give your face an overall smooth finish. Gently swipe it all over your face with a huge powder brush.
Cream blushes
If your skin is exceptionally dry and absolutely cannot take powder blushes, you might want to try cream blushes. They are extremely handy during cold winter weathers. Warm it up gently between your fingers and apply it on the apple or hollow of your cheeks. They can even double up as a tinted lip balm!
The same method goes for bronzers and highlighters too!
Moisturizing lip products
Not just for the skin, if your lips tend to easily get dry and flaky, stop with the matte lipsticks and lip stains, it’s time to switch it back to basic, lip balms and lip-glosses. Lip crayons and lipsticks are also fine, just make they are extra soothing and packed with enough moisturizing ingredients for your delicate lips!
