i have sensitive skin but i need to wear makeup?

Question

what makeup can i use....is almay any good....my face looks dullish without makeup so what can i use

Answer 1

Almay is one of the best for sensitive skin and Clinique also if you want to go that expensive.

Answer 2

Clinique is meant to be good for your type of skin and, as it's so expensive, you tend to be very certain about what you buy before you actually part with your £$£!

Ask for a trial size of any product you're interested in and try a few things out on relatively 'unimportant' areas of skin, (behind your ears, maybe?) for foundations etc. If the skin on the rest of your body is also sensitive, you might be able to try out make-up products on your upper arms or something.

Another thing worth trying out is to improve your diet and other habits (if necessary - and I daresay we can all use a kick start in healthy habits!!) and thus improve the general look and lustre of your complexion without needing to resort to foundation etc. You might even find that changes in this part of your personal care lead to your skin becoming less delicate in the long run.

Other than that, do some web searches and have some fun shopping!=) I don't have overly troublesome skin, but I think Almay is nice anyway and, as far as I know, have a decent reputation. Sample some of their stuff next time you're in Boots.

Answer 3

You're gonna wanna use make up that's REALLY light with alot of mosturizer. I have the same problem. Anything I use makes my skin dry up and peel, because the chemicals are too harsh for it. To kind of help I buy alot of vitamin A & E ointment and put a light coat of that on my face before bed. Don't use too much because it's really thick. But it does the trick. When I wake up my skin feels smooth and it's easier to work with make up.

Make sure that whatever you buy has sunscreen of atleast 15 spf. And if you're still not sure ,you might want to go see a dermatologist.

Answer 4

wow, this is easy, =)
anyone can wear makeup, no matter what their skin is like. if you want to not make your skin dull, use foundation. not the heavy ones (my skin isn't sensitive, but even a heavy foundation can make it dried out), but use the light ones, that matches your skin tone. the one i use now, i ordered from AVON, but you can go to a store, and look at the cosmetics, and find a foundation. and a black eyeliner, makes a good makeup. it brings out your eyes, no matter what color. also use lip gloss, not the glittery ones, those ones are for 5 year olds, but clear ones or colored ones, and if you have flat lips get a lip plumper to make it plumper -.-
and use eyeshadow of course, gold eyeshadow is great for anyone's skin, but use different colors, not just one color, i usually use about three different eyeshadow, and they work great.

i hope this help ^_^

Answer 5

Covergirl is a product that really covers. It gives a glow to young skin and evens out ruddy areas in older skin. It was started as a clean make-up
with a Noxzema antiseptic base and does keep pores open and healthy. .............

I used Covergirl foundation as a teen in the sixties and found it covered acne, my encounters with poison ivy, and my natural tendency toward a ruddy complexion over the years....... It is a low-cost and seasoned brand and is even popular with men.......

Answer 6

Physcians formua is excellent, will not clog pores,non allerg. and light on your face,not a heavy makeup. also there is the barely Minerals.Both are excellent choices. I use both and never ever had any skin problems. My skin is really sensitive. good luck....

Answer 7

Hi,
Try tinted moisterizer for sensitive skin.
It looks like foundation but you wont ahve a problem with it.

Good luck x

Answer 8

i have sensitive skin, too. i use bare minerals. it works good. takes practice to get good at applying it and sometimes the powder can get all over the counter, but thats ok b/c the water will just wash it away

Answer 9

Try wearing powder instead of foundation and only using hypoallergenic formulas. Lancome has fantastic products.

Answer 10

try mineral makeup. they are made of natural ingredients and better for sensitive skin. bare esentuals is popular thanks to infomericals and qvc. but it contains fillers and other allergens that may cause trouble for some women. i personally like everyday minerals. it doesn't contain any known allergens and it's priced to be affordable.
