THINGS TO LOOK FOR:
PORE SIZE Usually the more oily the skin, the bigger the pores, and the smaller the pores, the dryer the skin. REDNESS You may need to colour correct, and this is an indication of sensitive skin.
DRY PATCHES You may need to use more moisturizer on that area.
OILY T-ZONE This is an indication of combination skin.
PREMATURE WRINKLES Be aware of wrinkles and not to apply too much powder or highlighter.
HOW TO PREP FOR DIFFERENT SKIN TYPES
NORMAL SKIN
For normal skin, you can keep it simple and just use a lightweight moisturizer.
DRY & MATURE SKIN
For both dry and mature skin types, the more hydration, the better the application. On mature clients, you should always use an eye cream or serum for extra hydration. If you can see dead/dry skin, have the client use a gentle exfoliator on the day of the appointment (just make sure that it’s a product that they have used before), and use a hydrating mist as well as a hyaluronic acid serum.
OILY SKIN
For oily skin, you should always use a mattifying primer. It’s important to note that a mattifying primer should only be focused on the T-zone area where most of the oil is produced. Clients with oily skin are often afraid of face oils or moisturizers, but this actually prevents the skin from creating more oil. Always moisturize!
COMBINATION SKIN
Use a lightweight cream moisturizer all over, and then a primer in the t-zone.
SENSITIVE SKIN
If a client has a rash, redness, or clearly irritated skin, use a barrier cream (always keep one in your kit).
EYELIDS
You can use a concealer or a primer/eyeshadow base. Make sure that the concealer you use has a wax base, as this will ensure that oils don’t get through and break up the makeup. Also, make sure that the concealer is mattifying and not hydrating.
UNDER-EYE
Use an eye mask to prep the skin.
