Selecting the right makeup for your skin type can be transformative. The correct products ensure that your makeup looks flawless, lasts all day, and keeps your skin healthy. This guide will provide detailed advice on choosing the best makeup for dry skin, oily skin, combination skin, and sensitive skin. We'll also introduce you to some top CHADO products to help you achieve the perfect makeup look.
Skin types can vary due to factors like genetics, ethnicity, age, and hormones. Generally, there are four main skin types:
Dry Skin
Dry skin lacks natural oils, making it look rough and dull. Weather, frequent washing, dehydration, and diet can make dryness worse, and it can also be hereditary.
Makeup Tips:
- Creme Genereuse - 4 in 1 Face Cream: This rich cream provides deep hydration and works as a primer and moisturizer.
- Go for liquid foundations that say “luminous wear” or “hydrating” on the label. They have light-reflecting elements that give your skin a healthy glow.
- Baume Magique: A 3-in-1 balm that adds color and hydration to your lips, cheeks, and eyes.
- Avoid mineral powders, matte finishes, and cream-to-powder foundations, as they can highlight dry patches. Use a primer to help makeup go on smoothly.
- If you like using powder, stick to just your nose, which is typically less dry.
- Finish your look with cream eyeshadow, moisturizing lip gloss or satin lipstick, and cream blush.
Oily Skin
Oily skin is due to overactive oil glands, often caused by genetics, hormones, weather, and stress. This skin type tends to be shiny.
Makeup Tips:
- Use matte foundations labeled “oil-free” or with mattifying properties.
- Multi Function Powder - Skin Perfector & Eyeshadow (Nude 63): Controls shine and provides a matte finish.
- Mineral powder makeup is great for oily skin as it absorbs excess oil.
- Setting sprays and blotting tissues help keep your makeup in place all day.
- Avoid shimmery or glittery products as they can make your skin look even shinier.
- Use waterproof eyeliner and loose powder eyeshadow to prevent makeup runs.
Combination Skin
Combination skin has both dry and oily areas, usually with oiliness in the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin) and dryness on the cheeks. This type can be influenced by weather, hormones, and genetics.
Makeup Tips:
- Look for cream-to-powder or liquid-to-powder foundations that provide a matte finish.
- Use Primer Mat Absolu - Base & Primer to even skin tone, reduces redness, and minimizes pores, giving a matte and natural finish.
- Use mineral or powder foundations sparingly on dry areas and more liberally on oily areas.
- Choose oil-free products specifically designed for combination skin.
- Select cream and powder products for eyes and cheeks based on your skin’s needs.
Normal Skin
Normal skin is well-balanced, neither too oily nor too dry. This skin type has the right amount of hydration and natural oils.
Makeup Tips:
- With normal skin, you can choose from a wide range of options. Use matte products for a polished look or luminous products for a dewy, radiant appearance.
- Consider switching to mineral makeup in the warmer months when your skin produces more oil, and opt for liquid foundations in the winter for added hydration.
- Always choose oil-free and hydrating products, and check labels for these features.
