Hi, I'm Christine. I'm a makeup artist, and I'm going to show you how to put on makeup for dry or sensitive skin. You can definitely wear makeup if you have dry or sensitive skin, it's no problem. The things you'll need for this look are a creamy foundation, and a really good moisturizer. Let's get started. So, the first step for this look is to take your moisturizer and apply it to the face. So, you can just squirt a little bit onto your fingers, make sure they're clean, and then you can apply it directly onto your face. I just like to tap it, and then smooth it. Be sure to use a really high quality moisturizer, one that has, you know, maybe some antioxidants or vitamins. Vitamin E is really great for sensitive skin. You get all over, and then we're going to apply our foundation. We're going to use a creamy foundation, so that it's good for dry skin. You just take a little bit, and again, tap it on, and then smooth it out. Makeup's going to go on so much smoother once your skin is moisturized. Don't forget under the nose, on the sides. You can go ahead and bring this all the way up to the eyes as well. And, just blend it all in. A lot of people forget to get underneath the jawline, so make sure you get that to blend in. And, there you go. It's just that easy. That is how you apply makeup for dry or sensitive skin. We use the mousse foundation. But, your must-have product is going to be a really great, high quality moisturizer that you put on beforehand. Thank you so much for watching. I'm Christine, bye!
