FIND THE RIGHT PRODUCTS

Achieving a natural makeup look can require understanding what products will help enhance your skin depending on your skin type.

According to the American Academy of Dermatology, skin type can be identified under the following categories: sensitive, normal, dry, oily, and combination skin.

“Whenever I started breaking out, I stopped using makeup. But then I would use it occasionally whenever it was calmed down to cover the redness of my acne,” said Garcia.

Light-coverage makeup such as tinted sunscreen or moisturizer, blemish balm, foundation serums and colorcorrecting creams can provide a natural finish to the skin.

As someone who deals with oily skin, Garcia uses the NARS Soft Matte Complete Foundation to even out his skin tone and sets his makeup with the Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder.

Michel stays away from powders when dealing with dry skin and eczema around the eyes.

Instead, she reaches for makeup that is a lighter consistency and skincare infused, like the Summer Fridays Sheer Skin Tint, which contains hyaluronic acid, a hydrating ingredient, and squalane, a moisturizer.

“I feel like hyaluronic acid in the products really do make a difference, and it even helps with that appearance of that glowy and refreshed look,” said Michel.
