Whether
you're just getting into makeup now, or feel you have certain areas to improve
in, the most important place to start is understanding your skin type, and
working with it, rather than against it. This is where most people go wrong, so
as long as you have this down, you shouldn't have any major problems in the
future with your technique.

Advice for Oily Skin
Oily skin
will look shiny and greasy, almost as if you have just had a workout and you
start to sweat, mostly leaving obvious traces around your forehead, nose, and
cheeks. Because of the excess oil, you may experience a lot more acne than
others, along with larger, more visible pores.
It
is therefore very important to keep your face clean as much as possible, and
avoid any creams that contain oily ingredients (like coconut oil.) You may even
want to carry around some antibacterial wipes with you, so you can have a quick
clean up whenever you need to when makeup is a no go.
Makeup
wise, the key is a gentle toner
that will remove any excess oil and dirt, you can find many options to choose
from on the internet. Then choose a water based foundation as this won't be
packed full of unnecessary oils.
An
absolute must have Is powder, so when going in to contour, use a powder to
sculpt out the cheekbones and slim down the nose (instead of a cream), and
always remember to set your face with a good quality translucent powder. In
fact, keep it with you whenever you head out, and as soon as you feel a
build-up of oil, just pat on the powder, and you will be as good as new.

Advice for Dry Skin
Dry skin
will feel tight, flaky and even powdery within minutes of getting out of the
shower or just after you have washed your face. This will be because your cells
underneath your skin aren't making enough oil glands to hydrate itself, and
because it lacks moisture, it will be your job to make sure it's getting
enough.
You
can do this by investing in some top skincare
products that not only moisturize, but they stimulate those glands to work
again, that way your skin isn't having to rely on the cream - it has to work
for it.
You
will want to choose the right kind of foundation too; otherwise it will dry out
and look as if it's crumbling in certain areas of your face, (usually around
the nose and mouth area.). You may also want to use face masks on a regular
basis. Look out for the ones that include aloe vera
and coconut oil - they work best. Just make sure it's natural.
Regardless
of the makeup and skincare
products you buy - if they aren't suited to your skin type - they won't look
good. So always put that first before falling in love with a product, only to
realize it makes your skin look and feel even worse.
As
soon as you master that, you'll be flawless.
