"Hi I'm Michelle Renee from the Michelle Renee Makeup artist group here in Tampa Florida. And on behalf of Expert Village we're going to show you how to apply makeup on women of color. The first step to any makeup routine should be cleansing your canvas it's important before you put on product to have clean fresh skin. There are many types of cleansers out there. I have oily skin, I'm completely oily in my T-zone and cheek area. I personally like to have a cleanser with little beads in there called aoba beads or some some kind of exfoliater built into my cleanser that makes me feel squeekly clean. I also have clients who have T-Zone oily, they like to use a gel or a bar so they feel smooth and clean. Lastly, we have people with dry skin. When you have dry skin you might want to use a cleanser in a jar with emollient products in it. Any type of skin that you have, just make sure you listen to what your skin is telling you. You can go to your local drug store or department store and ask a specialist what type of product they recommend for your specific skin."
