6 Dry Skin Makeup Tips for Glowing Skin

6 Dry Skin Makeup Tips for Glowing Skin

If you have dry skin you'll know the battle when it comes to applying makeup and stopping it from looking flaky. If you're ready to swap cracked, cakey makeup to glowing and smooth then try these 6 skin tips!

 

Dry Skin Makeup Tips

When it comes to makeup application, the key thing for dry skin is to make sure it is hydrated and protected. Dry skin lacks oil, but symptoms of dryness can often be exacerbated by environmental factors as well.

For instance, constantly moving between different temperatures or artificial heating / cooling can wreak havoc on our skin. When this happens our makeup will not sit as beautifully or naturally.  

 

Dry Skin Makeup Tip for Glowing Skin 1: Make sure you are moisturising enough

In order for your makeup to sit well your skin needs to be hydrated properly.

Make sure that you are moisturising morning and night and adding a little extra if your skin is still feeling dry!

Upping the intensity of your moisturiser can also help dry skin.

Our number one best-selling moisturiser is Jelly Ko Bubble Tea Steam Cream. It combines the benefits of an oil, serum and moisturiser into a single jar. Your skin will simply drink up the hydration in this top-rated moisturiser. 

 

 

 

 

Dry Skin Makeup Tip for Glowing Skin 2: Don't Ignore Your Eye Area

One of the main areas that you'll notice flakes, dryness and fine lines when you do your makeup is your eye area.  So make sure you get your eye cream sorted.

Look for a formula that will soften, plump and nourish your skin as this will also assist to boost dry and damaged skin.

When your eye area is properly hydrated, you'll notice an improvement in the appearance of fine lines. This means your concealer and foundation will glide on and sit beautifully throughout the day.  

 

Dry Skin Makeup Tip for Glowing Skin 3: Don't Forget Your Primer 

You may have heard that primers are just for oily skin because they help smooth pores and mattify the complexion. And in the case of some products you would be correct. 

However, there is another category of makeup primer altogether that is absolutely perfect for dry skin. Namely, hydrating primers.

These serum-like formulas sink into the skin, imparting a soft, natural radiance that looks like your skin, but better.

 

Dry Skin Makeup Tip for Glowing Skin 4: Stay away from powders

Try to avoid powder-based makeup for dry skin because this dehydrates the skin and only accentuates any flakes. 

Where possible, swap over to a liquid or cream option instead.

We love Korean BB creams for an everyday option. Thanks to their nourishing and hydrating formulas, they are a perfect fit to offer natural coverage to dry skin. Best of all, you don't need powder to set the.  

 

Dry Skin Makeup Tip for Glowing Skin 5: Add a Sleeping Mask into your routine

While this is still skincare (you might have picked up on a theme here!) your makeup is not going to sit well if your skincare routine isn’t supporting a healthy skin barrier.

One of the things we love to add into our own routines for dry skin is a sleeping mask. These leave on masks work to hydrate the skin as you sleep so that you wake up with hydrated, bouncy, dewy skin.

Our favourite? Jelly Ko Cherry Blossom Sleeping Mask of course. This Best of Beauty-award winning mask is formulated with Ectoin, Niacinamide, Panthenol, and Sodium Hyaluronate. It works to cocoon and nourish your skin overnight. Apply it before sleep and let the magic happen!

 

 

Dry Skin Makeup Tip For Glowing Skin 6: Pop a hydrating mist in your bag

We never leave the house without a hydrating mist in our bag. Korean beauty has a wealth of options that are ideal for providing instant hydration to dry skin.

 A few spritzes of this throughout the day helps to keep your makeup looking fresh and your skin hydrated.
