Which makeup for your skin type?
Oily, dry, combination or sensitive: each skin has its products and steps. Here is how to find your way.

Makeup that enhances one skin can crease or shine on another. The key to a beautiful result often comes down to one detail: matching the products and steps to your skin type. Here is how to identify yours and choose what suits it.
Identify your skin type
Oily, dry, combination or sensitive: each type has its needs. Oily skin shines during the day, dry skin feels tight, combination skin mixes both and sensitive skin reacts easily. Knowing yours guides every choice.
The right products by skin type
Oily skin prefers mattifying textures and good setting, while dry skin loves hydrating, luminous formulas. Sensitive skin favors gentle, minimal products. The right product is the one that respects your skin.
In short
- Oily skin: mattifying primer, light powder, setting.
- Dry skin: hydrating primer, luminous finish, little powder.
- Sensitive skin: gentle products, minimal application.
The importance of prep
Whatever your skin type, good prep changes everything. Suitable hydration, a targeted primer and precise application let makeup last without highlighting flaws. This is where a professional's expertise makes the difference.
There is no bad skin type, only poorly chosen products.
Why consult a professional
A makeup artist reads your skin in moments and adapts their routine accordingly. They know which products to avoid and which to favor for a natural, lasting result, with no guesswork or wasted purchases.
