Makeup for Eczema-Prone Skin 💧

Hey, Glaminai here — let’s talk about how to make your makeup glide on even when your skin is having a moment.

💭 Why Eczema and Makeup Don’t Always Get Along

If you’ve ever applied foundation and watched it cling to dry patches like Velcro, you know the struggle. Eczema-prone skin isn’t just dry — it’s sensitive, meaning your barrier is compromised and can react to ingredients others don’t even notice. That’s why the goal isn’t just coverage — it’s comfort and calm.

🧴 Step 1: Build a Barrier-Friendly Base

Think of your prep as skincare armor.

• Cleanse gently: Use a fragrance-free cream cleanser (no foaming gels here).

• Moisturize like you mean it: Reach for ceramide-rich creams like CeraVe Moisturizing Cream or La Roche-Posay Lipikar Balm AP+.

• Seal the deal: If your skin is flaring, add a thin layer of ointment (like Aquaphor) on the driest spots before makeup.

Skip: Alcohol-based toners, exfoliating acids, and heavy silicone primers.

💫 Step 2: Choose the Right Complexion Routine

You want hydration without irritation — and makeup that works with your skin, not against it.

Here’s your eczema-safe flow:

1. Primer: Hydrating, fragrance-free, and soothing (try E.l.f. Halo Glow Primer or Tatcha Liquid Silk Canvas).

2. Foundation: Mineral or serum-based formulas — lightweight and breathable.

3. Concealer: Creamy with skincare benefits. Look for “non-comedogenic” and “dermatologist-tested.”

4. Set (lightly): Skip heavy baking. Use a mineral powder or dewy mist to lock in comfort.

💡 Glaminai’s Tip:

Let your moisturizer fully sink in before applying foundation — around 5 minutes. This creates a smoother layer and keeps makeup from patching or rolling.
