How to choose make up for combination skin?
by admin on Mar.27, 2010, under Makeup Q & A
OK so i have combination skin and is now just starting to use make up. I want to know which type of products i should use that would not make my skin break out. Coz i tend to.
So like:
1. foundation
2. primer
3. face wash
4. moisturizer
5. etc.
basically, like should i not use make up that is liquid, or should i use powder make up. should i try mineral make up instead of regular. should i use oil-free make up.. etc.
thanks for your help.

its really hard to say whether a foundation will break you out because everyones skin is different ! i have combination skin with acne dry cheeks and under eyes with oily tzone ! annoying ! anyway i have been through so many foundations its stupid ! anyway mineral make up is good you can get it in either liquid or powder form i get liquid as i find powder to drying for my cheeks , however the only prob i find is that because i have acne it doesnt give enough coverage for me so if you have alot of spots you will need to get a good conceler to go along with the mineral foundation ! also right now im using revlon colourstay for combination skin i prefer the formula for normal to dry skin better but once again it doesnt give the coverage that the combination one gives ! its a really good foundation good coverage not to drying , stops shine , doesnt look caked on , good range of colours ! but its a long lasting makeup and believe me it really does last and ALL long lasting makeups will break you out if your not removing All of it at night so what i do is wash my face first with soap then a face wash then get a cotton pad and use some toner or cleanser to remove the last traces of it i use a tee tree oil one to help my acne ! this works to remove all of it , also if you use moisturiser before applying make up with revlon colourstay make sure its a oil free one as the foundation is oil free so if u apply it after using a oily moisturiser it will go patchy same goes for if u use a foundation with oil use a moisturiser with oil ! gosh primer is good ! you could get a tee tree moisturiser as well ! hope i helped
