Heart It
Having sensitive skin is sometimes seen as a double punishment: It is
hyper-reactive and make-up is banned. And yet this everyday pleasure
need not be forbidden, not even on very fragile skin. Quite the
opposite, it can actually neutralize redness, improve the appearance of
skin reactions, and protect the skin against external aggressors.
Test products before committing yourself
Sensitive
skin reacts to factors usually tolerated by "ordinary" skin. It is
therefore important, before adopting a product, to test it on a small
part of your face. If you experience no discomfort within 24 hours of
applying it, it's good news you have found the right product for you.
Matte compact for smooth base
A
matte compact powder is ideal for those with sensitive skin. This is
because a compact is often said to be milder than a foundation for your
skin. You can also opt for mineral compact powder that will protect your
skin.
Water-proof eye makeup
With a wide range of
water-proof makeup available for sensitive skin, the eyes should also
not be neglected. Water-proof mascara and kohl or an eye pencil are your
best bet.
Neutral eye shadows
If you wish to wear an eye shadow, opt
for a neutral shade. The shades vary from light pinks and peaches to
light mauve. These shades look great on your skin and will also ensure
that you do not get an allergy.
Crease-less lipsticks
These
are creamy lipsticks, instead of the usual matte ones, and stay on for a
long duration of time. It hydrates your lips and ensures that that your
lips are well-moisturised through the day.
