Understanding Skintypes for Applying Makeup

Video Transcript

" Hi! I’m Yvette Parrish. Thanks for joining me at Expert Village. Today, I’m going to show you how to apply makeup properly, professionally, and the use of brushes. Tips for mature skin less is more. So, you don’t need as much foundation. I would recommend a soufflé style, a lighter foundation. Stay away from the thick cream foundations, because that will kind of weigh your skin down. So, on a mature skin I would do a soufflé or a liquid, a waterbase that will be really pretty. On a younger skin, if your are very oily, make sure that your foundation is oil free. You can always ask your makeup artist, what they would recommend as well. If you are very dry, you don’t want it oil free, because that is going to suck whatever oil you have left out of your skin. So, make sure you are looking at a foundation that is nourishing, that has moisturizers in it and most foundations will say on the bottle… it will say for oily skin or for dry skin, for mature skin, acne prone skin. All you have to do is read a little bit, and if you have any questions you can always ask your makeup artist or the department store makeup artist, or you can e-mail me and I will let you know. "
