Makeup on dry skin??

Question

I have dry skin on my face...you cant really see it if I dont have any makeup on. Then when I do put makeup on, then it looks flakey and dry. How do I get rid of it???

Answer 1

Apply a moisturizer on your face before you put on the makeup.

Answer 2

First you should exfoliate your skin to get rid of the dead skin cells.

I have the same problem and I have found that shea butter works the best on my skin. It makes my skin feel so soft. Don't get the shea butter lotion. Look for a shea butter cream. It may be expensive but it is well worth it.

I also use Affodable Mineral Makeup. Liquid foundation just seems to cake up on the dry areas and make them more noticeable. The mineral makeup works so much better. It works with the heat and natural oils in your skin to even out the problem areas.

Answer 3

Dry skin is common in the winter, def use a tiny bit of vaseline just blend it in to all the dry areas of the face before applying make-up it should work but it clogs pores so try not to wear the make-up for hours on end. Good luck I have really dry skin too and it flakes a lot so I know what you mean! Also aloe vera gel helps at night to add moisture.

Answer 4

I would suggest you go too an Dermatologist, and receive and Facial (Chemical peel), first, and they will tell you what too do. Now if that doesn't work if you don't have the money for that buy you some over-the counter- products such as Olay of olay, or if you can afford it go too a Make-up Specialist at your local mall, and purchase some Clinic Moisturizer, or any moisturizer to rejunivate your skin back too its essential natural beauty.

Answer 5

Try a tinted moisturizer, it works really well for dry skin and still gives you coverage. I love Stila Illuminating tinted mousturizer, though its a little on the expensive side it works wonders. Also good and less expensive is Cover Girl tinted moisturizer. You won't flake at all!

Answer 6

well what you do is go to Wall mart and look for a moisturizer called cetripfil it helps if that don't work then

go to the docs and tell them if they can get you a cream for eczema and your skin will be soft that's how my skin gut soft

Answer 7

I use smashbox photo finisher primer. I've heard of paul and joe moisturizing foundation primer. Look it up.

Answer 8

first of all you shouldn't wear make-up if u have dry skin but when you do what i do which is put on lotion then cover up and all that stuff then i put on some more lotion. and my skin feels all smooth and it looks natural.

Answer 9

i get that too sometimes. i have found that mozturizers don't really work, so i buy this stuff called 'hydroderm' [i think thats how you spell it] and it is expensive, but it works great! it gets rid of all your dry skin. it's amazing.

good luck =]
