You must carefully read the labels and look for vegan, chemical-free, and cruelty-free makeup with potent natural ingredients to keep your skin safe and in trend!
Here to help you pick the best lipstick shades and much more that suit your skin tone, skin sensitivity, and trends that buzz the town. Check below our top 10 makeup tips for turning heads when makeup is the reason, and surely not the effects of the sensitive skin: 

Always Do a Patch Test  

Before you buy any new makeup product, always do the patch test. Apply a small quantity of the product on the forearm or behind the ear and wait 24 hours. If you don’t see any adverse effects, the product is good to go to your vanity. A simple patch test can save you from allergies, sensitivity, and rounds to a doctor’s clinic. It is always better to be safe than sorry!

What do the Labels say?

While a thought may cross your mind, ‘How does makeup for sensitive skin does any better for my skin?’ Let us tell you that it makes a huge difference. The products for sensitive skin are developed keeping many forms of allergies in mind, making the formula gentle to prevent irritation, rashes, or even breakouts. Check the labels, for example, for a makeup foundation to read fragrance-free, non-comedogenic, hypoallergenic, paraben-free, and preservative-free. Ecostay Intensive Serum Foundation comes with a a gentle formulation on all skin types.

Gentle Cleanse Always 

Gentle cleansing is what sensitive skin demands. Cleanse your face with a soft, fragrance-free cleanser to protect your skin from damage from harmful chemicals. Avoid abrasive products and harsh scrubbing that can promptly damage the skin and cause irritation and rashes. You can also go for double cleansing to protect your skin from drying out, worsening the sensitivity problem. A little love and tenderness to your skin will reward you with a healthy, flawless look!

Nourish and Moisturise

Nourished skin reflects the natural glow that only healthy skin radiates. Keeping your skin moisturised gives it much-needed nourishment, making it supple and healthy. Before applying the best foundation for Indian skin, Proedit Silk Touch Foundation, apply mineral-oil-free and preservative-free nourishing cream, Proedit Silk Touch Glow Strobe Cream, to create a smooth base for your makeup and keep your skin hydrated throughout the day. Embrace this lightweight moisturising cream for your sensitive skin to shine on!

The Wonders of Primer

Primer is a savior for sensitive skin. It acts as a barrier between your skin and makeup, protecting it from the possibility of irritation caused by the layers of makeup. Go for an oil-free and lightweight formula that blurs out all imperfections with added advantages of a preservatives-free, fragrance-free, and dermatologically tested formula, Proedit Silk Touch Luminizing Primer. It will keep your skin safe from possible damage, softly smoothen the skin texture and minimise the pores, extending the wear time of your makeup. 

Foundation Alternatives?

The foundations for sensitive skin have to be nourishing and lightweight. Heavy foundations can suffocate sensitive skin, and mattifying ones may dry out the skin. Instead, opt for a foundation, Ecostay Intensive Serum Foundation, that is breathable and light. The other options your can explore are tinted moisturisers, Nutraglow Tinted Moisturiser – Fresh Ivory, or BB creams, Xpress Glow Daily Beauty 10-In-1 Cream SPF 25 – Royal Pearl, that are light to be worn for the whole day. They smoothly give good coverage without clogging pores and triggering reactions, making skin breathe freely and stay fresh all time long.

The Perfection of Pressing Powder

Pressing powders, Ecostay Ideal Finish Pressed Powder – Royal Pearl, is one go-to product that you can’t simply miss for a smooth and perfect finish. The concerns of sensitive skin are intense here, and you should look for talc-free, paraben-free, and oily skin compact powders that are gentle on your skin and control oil. Take the product on the brush, dust the extra powder, and apply lightly with a brush. Do not overdo it to prevent the skin from drying out and looking greyish. Fall in love with the shine-free complexion without skin woes!

Lit-up the Eyes

The area around the eyes is usually quite sensitive, and overall sensitive skin worsens the case. Take care of your eyes cautiously, and always use the right makeup products. Pick the best kajal for your eyes, Ecostay Longlasting Kajal – Black, mineral-oil-free and comes with the goodness of jojoba oil and high pigmentation, making application easy and longlasting. For eyeliner, Colorkick Eye Liner Azure Mermaid CL02, and mascara, Maxlash Botanical Mascara – Black, go for vitamin-e and aloe vera enriched formula that is gentle on the eyes and gives an intense look all time long. And if you’re deciding between lash options, explore the differences between magnetic lashes vs diy lash extensions to find the gentlest and most effective choice for your sensitive eye area.

The Lip Essential

Whether you wear complete makeup, lipsticks are must-haves for most women. Buy deep nourishing and high payoff lipsticks to keep your lips chap-free and soft. Ecostay Butter Matte Lip Color has a high payoff that glides easily on the lips in just one slide. The potent ingredients like jojoba oil, shea butter, and vitamin E keeps the lips nourished and plump. 

Let your Skin Breathe

The thumb rule is to take off the makeup before going to bed. Use a micellar water or advanced formula, Bi Facial Waterproof Makeup Remover, which is dermatologically and ophthalmologically tested, making them suitable for sensitive skin. Avoid harsh rubbing or pulling to avoid skin damage. Take soft cotton pads, gently remove the makeup, follow your night skincare routine, and let your skin rejuvenate while you sleep.  With these tips, wear your makeup without worrying about damaging the skin and flaunt the flawless look with your beautiful, sensitive skin!
