Pre-makeup tips for sensitive skin.

I have hyper sensitivity. Which in short means my body overreacts to everything. However, I like wearing makeup sometimes and I've found a few tricks that make it much easier on my sensitive eyes and skin.

- Use a toner and moisturizer before you apply face makeup. This cleans out and reduces the size of your pores and the more moist your skin is the better base it gives you. If you have oily skin use an oil free moisturizer and this will prevent the makeup from clogging your pores.

-Eye drops. I have so many issues with eye makeup making my eyes itch. So now every time I go to put eye makeup on I apply my allergy relief eye drops. I keep eye drops in my makeup drawer so I won't forget this step.

-If you have very sensitive eyes skip the waterlining and tightlining. But if you really don't want to skip this step make sure to use waterproof and let it dry well before letting it touch your eye.

-For my lips I always exfoliate them and then apply a nourishing lip cream. This keeps your lips from drying out as badly with other lip products and if you do this at the beginning of your makeup routine this will absorb into you're lips before you apply your lip products.

-My last tip is to keep your under eye area from creasing make sure to use an eye cream to keep them moisturized before applying concealer.

I hope this helps!
