Skin with rosacea

Yael Maquieira's first recommendation is also a message that should not be forgotten. “All skins must be careful with the products that are used. For me, all skins are sensitive. It is very important to have identified the type of skin we have and to know which products are appropriate. This may seem obvious, but in the self-makeup courses she took and in bridal tests, I see this every day: products that don't work well for each skin type," she explains. As an example, it is common for brides and guests to resort to astringent cosmetics and makeup when they have very dry skin, something totally harmful because this formulation is designed for oilier faces.

Rosacea is a common and chronic skin disorder that can be treated by following the recommendations of dermatologists. It produces redness, redness and visible blood vessels on the face, which is why it requires following an adequate facial routine. “It is important to maintain hydration in this type of skin to calm redness. Also, use specific products for sensitive skin that are hypoallergenic”, says Yael. In addition, to neutralize those reddish marks of rosacea, he advises using makeup bases with a beige background. However, at least eight months before the big day, the makeup artist points out, it is advisable to make an appointment with a dermatologist or a responsible and trusted aesthetic clinic to define the appropriate treatments. "That he give us a 'beauty' routine for the wedding that includes a routine at home and treatments in the cabin," he defends.

Very dry skin

Delicate skin is also very dry, faces that tend to suffer from non-specific products. Eugenio Lavado, better known as Eu Moda, is clear about it: “Therein lies the meaning of the makeup test before any event, since it serves to rule out that any cosmetic product will react. Very important, as I usually say, is to use products that do not include alcohol or perfumes”. This type of skin needs more hydration than the others, so the expert advises thinking about cabin treatments every six months.

“Regarding makeup products, in these cases illuminating primers and foundations that contain a large part of water are used. Also, cream blushes and highlighters should be used that provide more juiciness to the skin. Finally, we fix the makeup with a suitable mist or fixative, which provides hydration”, describes Eu Moda. Regarding the day-to-day of these fiancées, the expert indicates that a serum, a good hydration product for day and night, a mild exfoliant (which they will apply once a week) and sun protection should not be missing from their dressing table. high. If we had to highlight a trend in this type of face: “use cream eye shadows, to give light to the eyelids; also cream and liquid blushes and highlighters, to achieve greater luminosity”.

Oily skin

The first steps, says Jessica Arques, are the most valuable when applying makeup to oily skin. The durability of the products will depend on their composition, which must be appropriate to treat this type of face: no oily, unctuous or dense textures, better to trust powders. “Although oily skin usually calls for a matte effect without shine, some of my clients do not want to leave out the 'glow', even if they are looking for a matte finish in the most problematic areas. For this reason, I always recommend using a sebum-regulating primer that will help control seborrheic activity and allow the subsequent base to settle better”, he introduces.

Although as a make-up artist she adapts her routine of cleaning, preparing and moisturizing to these skins, Jessica recognizes that these faces should not be over-mattified, to avoid the dreaded cracked makeup. The 'oil free' products, touch-up after hours and a good fixer will be the best allies. “If there is a lot of humidity or a lot of heat, we have to take into account that makeup can tend to shine as the hours go by and for that we must touch up, the skin is our largest organ and makeup is a mere complement, let us always keep that in mind” , share. Naturalness also reaches shiny skin, which seeks fewer layers and a luminous finish.

Reactive and sensitive skin

Eva Villamar remembers that each skin pathology requires specific care so that, in this way, more durable and flattering makeup can be achieved, especially with reactive and sensitive skin . “My way of doing makeup is born from the study and subsequent knowledge of the skin in front of me. So, for me, the first thing is to check the degree of reactivity of that skin, the need for an aqueous and/or lipid supply to recover, as quickly as possible, a state similar to that of skin with a stable barrier function," he says. . The preparation of the skin is, therefore, an essential step in all cases, which with delicate skin types takes even more value.

Explains this makeup artist who starts as soon as possible with her girlfriends, to try to get a suitable routine for each one. “It is important for me to convey the message that well-cared for skin, accompanied by a proper anti-inflammatory diet, always improves. Of course, stress plays an important role in the state of reactive skin, which is why it is so important to create a working front between me and my girlfriends; they at home, I in the studio, to get results together”, she defends.

With these faces, technique is essential, since each area has specific needs, so they should not all be hydrated in the same way. In relation to the perfect makeup for these skins, less is always more, therefore heavy coverage should be avoided. “Cream and liquid textures have a better adaptation since they do not steal water from the skin surface and their adaptation to any surface irregularity is much greater than powder, so it will not accentuate possible marks or bumps,” he advises. And that is why it recalls a message that has been transmitted from generation to generation for years: “These skins need to breathe”.
