The
first thing you ought to know is your skin type before
 applying any
makeup to your skin. Listed below is makeup tips for normal, dry,
oily and combination skin.
Normal Skin
Normal Skin usually looks and feels smooth but can also react to
changes in the environment: oilier in the summer and drier in the
winter.
Makeup tips

Apply a layer of moisturizer underneath for dry, winter conditions
or whenever you enter a parched environment.
Keep a pressed powder on hand for oilier moments or more humid days.
Dry Skin
Dry Skin occurs naturally as you age and the oil glands decrease
their output. Dryness may also reflect your skin's sensitivity to
skin care products, cleansers, diet, or even emotions. The
occasional blotchy patch can result from dryness, too.

smooth out skin tone.

Oily Skin
Oily skin is shiny and uneven. It leaves the house feeling clean and
fresh but by noon suffers from shine.
Makeup tips
Start with a gentle toner on your clean skin.
Use water-based formulas for all your make-up, especially
foundation. · A concealer stick helps hide the effects of breakouts.

throughout the day.

Combination Skin usually expresses its unique qualities with
oiliness in the T-zone and normal-to-dry skin everywhere else. Like
other types, environmental factors and your body's chemistry may

powder must be the same tint that foundation is.

and creamy blush. Creamy blush more suits for dry skin. It's better
to apply with your fingertips. If you use powder blush, apply it
after powder, but creamy blush, it's better to apply before powder.
