millie96 answered Friday July 22 2011, 1:13 pm: I live in South America, and we have some pretty rough winters here, so what I do when I want to wear makeup is first put on one layer of face cream, then put on your makeup (which should be very little or you will look like a clown. You should just put on some concealer when needed, blush, and lip gloss, and maybe mascara for parties.), when you are done, put some more cream on top, so that your skin will stay moisturized all day long and be super nice and smooth when you touch it. Mac should be fine, but make sure to ask a lady what would be good for your type of skin when you go buy your makeup,(one who doesnt have all that much on, that way you can get a good opinion.) Remember to always wash your face in the morning and at night, and if would be good if you used a face cleanser when you do this, which will prevent zits. Good luck!

If you go to their counter and tell them want to find the best make-up for your skin type they will try out some different products on you to find the best match for your skin.
However, MAC is expensive and depending on how many products you buy, it's probably going to set you back a fair bit. Personally, I like to buy a high-quality foundation and concealer as these are the base of your make-up and the most important. It's okay to spend a less on blush, powder and eye make-up.
A good alternative is to buy a tinted moisturiser. These are similar to a foundation and will give you colour but also keep your skin moisturised. Another advantage is that they're lighter than foundation, which is more comfortable and better for your skin.
Most make-up brands have tinted moisturisers in their ranges, including the less expensive ones. It's worth going to a drug store or somewhere that sells make-up and trying out different products to find one you like best. Use the testers on the inside of your wrist as the skin here is closest in tone to your face. You want to find a colour that is as close to your natural tone as possible to avoid looking orange or too pale.
Always remember that a good skin regime is the key to your skin looking good. Cleanse and moisturise morning and night and always remember to fully remove your make-up before you go to bed. I like to invest in a high quality moisturiser because I think it makes all the difference. Clinique do a good skincare range but I love Liz Earle ([Link](Mouse over link to see full location)). Again, it's important to choose products that are right for your skin type. Most good skincare brands sell products for dry skin. [ rainbowcherrie's advice column | Ask rainbowcherrie A Question ]
