Beauty Q & A with Kimberly Nicole Oubre
written by
THE EDITOR IN CHIEF
I have combination skin and my makeup tends to make me look like a ball of grease by the end of the day. What is the best foundation for me to use?
-Tiffanee S.
A: Combination skin is skin that has oily and dry areas. It is usually oily in the “T-zone” and dry around the eyes and perimeter of the face. The best foundations to use are those formulated for combination/oily skin. Look for products that say longwear, or 16+ hour stay.
A lot of drugstore brands like Revlon, will specify skin type on the packaging. One of my favorite foundations for combination/ oily skin is MACs Pro Longwear Nourishing Waterproof foundation. It helps control the oils in the center of the face and nourishes enough to keep the dry areas moisturized.
My dark under eye circles drive me crazy. I find myself constantly applying concealer throughout the day to to cover them and it ends up looking heavy and grey. Help! How can I
cover these dark circles?
-Shannon P.
A: Great question! The first step is to hydrate and moisturize. Make sure your under eye area is well hydrated. Eye creams should be implemented into your skincare routine. Chose a color corrector.
orange depending on your skin tone. Color correctors assist in hiding discoloration.
