People, who have really dry skin, get worried about their makeup. Dry skin is full of particles and flakes. Make up does not look well on uneven surface. For make up you need a smooth and moist surface which is almost rare on dry skin. First you have to prepare your skin before applying makeup. This article will show you the right method of applying makeup on dry skin.

Seven Steps To Put Foundation On Dry Skin

Exfoliation

To make your skin smooth, regular exfoliation is must. Scrub your skin on weekly basis to make the surface smooth. Scrubbers of various brands are available in the market. Buy the best quality. It is matter of your skin so do not compromise with the price.

Other than the readymade product you can use some natural products as scrubber such as rice whisk, coarsely ground lentil, straw berry or apricot, etc. Scrub gently on your face and neck. Give special attention on lips because the lips get cracked at this time and dry skin start to accumulate on skin.

Moisturizing

After scrubbing you need to moisturize it before applying any foundation on dry skin. If it is dry winter and you have excessively dry skin, it is better to massage cold cream on your skin to get a smooth finish.

Massage cream on your lips also. Rub an ice cube all over your face or sprinkle cold rose water. Then take a soft towel to dab the excess oil and water. Now your skin is ready for foundation.

Apply Foundation

For dry skin you have to buy oil base foundation. Buy the same shade as your skin has. Take a little amount of foundation on your palm. Then spread it on your skin with fingers. Spread evenly on whole skin. If you want to dilute it, use mild moisturizer for this purpose instead of water.

Apply Compact

After applying foundation you have to apply compact over foundation to reduce the extra shine of the skin. But take the cream based compact else powder finish compact will make your skin look dry. Do not rub. Just dab and make soft stroke to mix the foundation evenly.

Blusher

Buy cream based blusher for your cheek. Take a soft wide mouth brush and apply the make up with it. To bring the ultimate finish use your thumb. Rub your thumb on your chick and spread it towards the cheek bone. Powder based blusher can be applied with brush but for the cream based blusher you need your thumb.

Eye Shadow

Eyes play an important role in our appearance. Choose cream based eye shadow for your eyes. It is better to apply cream based eye shadow with your fingers than to apply it with brush. Rub your finger on eyelid to mix the color on skin. Then draw your eyes with cream based eyeliner or kajal.

Lipstick

Your make up will not be complete till you do not draw your lips beautifully. As your skin dry, your lip also will be dry. So take a little amount of cold cream and massage it on your lips because lip liner and lipstick do not move well on dry surface.

Choose creamy lipstick for you and better avoid matt finish lipstick. You should apply lip-gloss after applying the lipstick. It is not at all tough to make a dry skin beautiful with the help of foundation. What you need is the cream version of all beauty aids.
