Top Makeup Tips for Sensitive Skin

If you have sensitive skin, you know how tricky it can be navigating the beauty world to find products that won’t cause irritation or trigger an eczema or rosacea flare-up. People with skin sensitivity need both skincare and makeup routines that are gentle enough that they won’t cause redness or inflammation, which is no easy feat! Not only can topical products cause skin sensitivity but even wearing certain fabrics or using certain clothing detergents can cause issues at times. So, finding those just-right sensitive skin products is a must, even if it’s a long and ever-changing journey. Keeping your skin barrier healthy and intact and using gentle fragrance-free skincare with nourishing ingredients like hyaluronic acid are key steps in nailing down the right beauty routine for your easily irritated skin. In addition to your morning skincare routine, it’s important to find the best makeup for sensitive skin that you can wear daily knowing it won’t cause redness, itchiness or inflammation. That’s where L’Oréal Paris Glow Paradise comes in. A full line of sensitive skin makeup, this collection is gentle and can be used on skin, eyes and lips for gorgeous colour and has textures that won’t cause problems for reactive skin.

Hydrating Face Care

One of the most important categories to consider when it comes to sensitive skin is what you’re putting on it. In addition to soothing, dermatologist-recommended skincare, foundations, tinted moisturizers and BB creams that are to be layered on top are just as important in your skin sensitivity beauty routine. L’Oréal Paris Glow Paradise Skin Paradise Water-Infused Tinted Moisturizer contains a must-try blend of 70% water-infused ingredients, such as aloe vera and witch hazel, to calm and nourish the skin. With its unique water-break technology, the formula bursts upon contact to deliver 24 hours of hydration to parched, thirsty skin. It provides lightweight, oil-free sheer coverage that won’t clog pores and leaves the skin with a healthy glow. Perfect for everyday wear, L’Oréal Paris Glow Paradise Skin Paradise Water-Infused Tinted Moisturizer awakens the skin with seven blendable shades ranging from fair to deep.

Gentle Eye Care

Having watery, sensitive eyes is par for the course for many people, including those who suffer from sensitive skin. Even the act of removing mascara by scrubbing and rubbing the eyes can trigger redness and irritation in the eye itself and to the delicate skin around the eyes. L’Oréal Paris Voluminous Lash Paradise Mascara is infused with a luscious blend of flower oils to condition and strengthen lashes with each wear. Apart from its bestselling and beloved formula, which delivers full, volume-packed lashes, this mascara is also safe for sensitive eyes as it doesn’t contain parabens or fragrances, both of which are potential irritants. L’Oréal Paris Voluminous Lash Paradise Mascara is ophthalmologist-tested and easy to remove—no pulling, scrubbing or tugging necessary!—when used with a gentle makeup remover or cleanser like L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Replumping Micellar Water.

Non-Irritating Lip Care

The last step in getting your makeup for sensitive skin sorted is finding lip products that won’t cause itchiness. L’Oréal Paris has two lines in the Glow Paradise collection that are formulated specifically for sensitive lips. Glow Paradise Balm-in-Lipstick is a cushiony balm that glides on the lips for a soft wash of colour. The formula is dermatologist-tested for safety and allergy-tested to ensure that it will work for all skin types, including sensitive skin. Available in 10 luminous shades, this balm instantly gives lips a dose of hydration. When used daily, it will give you a softer and smoother pout, even when your lips are bare. L’Oréal Paris Glow Paradise Balm-in-Gloss offers the same plumping, nourishing finish but in a gloss texture. Containing pomegranate extract and hyaluronic acid, this gloss pampers lips with sheer, natural colour that’s both gentle and non-sticky. Choose from 12 shimmering shades that work beautifully on their own or paired with lipstick.
