+Catriona Halliday in the same way! Haha especially after a breakout- in those areas I have dry flakes, but everywhere else is oily/normal. I usually use a face wash formulated for oily skin then moisturize with a gel formula (so my oil doesn't go crazy!) and then on the spots I am dry I use a heavier moisturizer. Hope this helps!
I'm a pro MUA and I have very dry skin and I am religious about skincare!!! If you have an amazing skin care line and routine (double cleansing baby) it makes a world of difference with your makeup doll!:)
What about combination skin? I have an oily face with SUPER bad dry patches. Like the dry patches are like flakey and when I put foundation on top it just clings to it and makes it took worse.
I have this same problem. my overall skin type is acne prone so I use a gentle scrub with acne medicine in it but then treat the oily and dry parts of my fave differently. if I do masks, I'll have one for oily skin and then use another one for my dry patches. I use a lightweight moisturizer all over and then go back with a heavier cream where needed.
what is good for combo skin?? i recently tried the tarte amazionian clay 12hr full coverage foundation and i love the feel of it, but around my nose, cheeks and forehead, it gets dry and yet oily at the same time....help!!! idk what to do :(
Use thin layer of vaseline as a primer , won't clog your pores, hydrates your skin and its tacky for holding your foundation. Then use your foundation setting powder.
I always considered the Benefit Porefessional as a better a primer for oily skin. I am dry and have found the Smashbox Primer Water is the best and it agrees with every foundation formula- no rolling! :)

Ugh i bought the porefessional primer once and it made my foundation look the worst it had ever looked . It was literally crumbling off and there was flakes all over my forehead and around my mouth, and this was a high quality expensive foundation that i always use too.
You know out of all of the beauty channel that I’ve watched over the last few months I keep coming back to yours. You’re so real and so knowledgeable. Thank you so much for doing what you do I know that we all appreciate it. Keep up the good work
i'm glad i don't have oily skin like most teenagers because it means less acne, but when it comes winter time i can't scratch my face the tiniest bit without flakes falling off!! it's DISGUSTING!! and i love makeup so i can't even wear foundation bc it looks like i'm a porcelain doll that is cracking
You are amazing!! I was getting so down and didn’t think there was a solution to my dry skin problems!! My skin always looked patchy and dry but adding the oil (which I never thought you should mix with foundation etc lol!) worked a treat! Thank you so much you’ve made me feel so much more confident in make up :D I’ve tried so many expensive foundations/skin regimes etc and non of the ‘professionals’ could never tell me why or how to get rid of my dryness?!!! It’s crazy. Thank you so much, I love your videos will be watching and following your tips Gemma :) xx
Also, a trick I learned from Wayne Goss is to mix one drop of a face oil in your moisturizer. It is amazing! You know how when you apply your powder and your fakes show more? Not if you use pop in your foundation. It's been a godsend for me.

@@Summerlove23 I might try this,, im a bit afraid cuz I heard a girl got her eye ducts (the hole where you cry from on your waterline) clogged because of it and it was so scary
i feel you gurl! use a mattifying primer on your oily spots and a hydrating+skin perfecting one on the flaky parts. Naked Skin concealer covers up alligator/"lizard" skin. dewy foundation all over (I love the Bodyshop one) and last but not least, press a small amount of face or HD powder on your oily spots NOT the entire face. hope that helps :)
dasgruene chamaeleon Thank you! I will try this. I like to "bake" my face I guess as you would call it lol and its terrible because the areas that I place the powder are under my eyes and they literally peel off and look really messed up. Saddens me that I'll have to stop that but I guess you gotta do what you gotta do
i used to do the exact same thing! my undereyes peel like a snake -_- however, you can still set it, just dip your beauty sponge in powder and dab it on. just not a shitload of it
I have combo skin and I've been using Shiseido Purifying cleanser, the Josie Maran whipped argon oil - big joyful at night before bed, mask: Glam Glow Flash Mud, Primer: Make Up Forever Smoothing, and I'm loving the Make Up Forever Ultra HD Stick foundation. Hope this helps! 💗
I was about to toss my foundation because of my dry skin but I tried prepping my skin as you suggested and what a world of difference it made for my skin. Thank you very much for doing this video!!
These products do work. I had to change my skincare routine last year due to dry patches. Yes these steps work. If you find the right face oil, it can really solve your makeup/skin issues with a drop.
first off , thank you for doing a vid for dry skin . i feel like most of the people on youtube have oily or combo skin . i'm gonna look into the boots botanics facial oil since i really love the organic hydrating day cream that i received from influenster . thanks , marlena !
+Nicole O. You should try Mac Mineralize skin finish natural powders. They are a little sheer and so natural looking and the most perfect powder I have found for dry skin! :)
I love watching your videos you are so bubbly and full of life. I love how you help create body positivity on your channel. I love your laugh and I just all around love your videos. You are by FAR the best youtuber, Infuencer, and makeup brand owner I watch. Thanks for being a breath of fresh air.
Heather Mueller exfoliate at least once a week. There are times you can get excess oil off face with a napkin. Still moisturize. Powder places that are not terribly dry. I would test that before actually going somewhere. moisturize before then powder. Hope that helps!!
Heather Mueller fuggg me too! I exfoliate with a face scrub, moisturize with a non oily formula..I prime and put on my makeup and by the end if the day I look at my face and Im fucking peely like a snake thats shedding! wtf 😖😖 A million videos later and Im still lost. I try diff techniques and still the same shit
same! if you're trying to get rid of your oily spots, try using a generic facemask or tea tree oil on them (do not put on already-dry spots) and then follow up with a moisturizer. I have to help my boyfriend apply a face mask (Freeman's avocado mask) once a week to keep his T-zone under control. If you're trying to get rid of the dry patches, definitely exfoliate and look into purchasing argan oil if you don't already own it (but coconut oil works too)! Avoid any drying or hardening masks on dry skin and maybe consider some DIY facemasks (like Yogurt+honey+avocado, that one is my fav) and use oils to remove makeup and moisturize (remove makeup with oil, wash your face with whatever face wash you usually use, exfoliate while doing so, then lock in the goodness by putting a small amount of oil in your hands (size of a dime) and run your hands under the faucet for literally half a second to dilute the oil. Then pat on your face and let air-dry)! Just remember that it's easier to put makeup on oily skin than dry skin, so if you're going to try and combat one of your skin types, definitely take care of the dry skin first :)
the problem that I have is that I want a dewy finish and Id rather not powder my face but if I don't my bonzer, blush and highlighter won't go on smooth. Does anyone have any tips for that?
What I do is powder my cheeks only. Then go on top with bronzer contour and blush. It mattifies that area so that it's easier to blend. You can also use cream products if that doesn't work for you :) check out my channel! I'm thinking about doing separate information videos soon 💋 xoxo
Maybe switch to cream blush highlight and bronzer. Or you can scrape some of your powder product out and mix it into a little of your foundation primer to make a cream and apply that. Idk just some ideas that work for me!
+Caitlyn Sydney a cream bronzer, cream highlighter and cream blush might be better for you :) it'd probly be better than the powder ones anyways because they will really make a dewy finish for you.
Use a different brush. One with less dense bristles like a duo-fiber brush, which applies the product and blends it at the same time. I used to have the same problem and this is what solved it for me :)
I have DRY sensitive skin! All the primers I've tried make my skin break out or the foundation slips or floats! So no primer for my dry cracks!😂 I find just staying hydrated helps the best for me.
No idea if this could work for you but I use a liposomal sunscreen and it doubles as a primer. I did this after a film MUA said she uses it as a primer for her clients. :-)
Amazing tumbnail! And thanks for explaining the dry skin foundation routine. My skin is so dry right now, all BB creams and foundations are unkind to the dry spots on my forhead and arround the nose
I moved from New Zealand to California and my skin went from oily (in New Zealand) to dry here in California. I will try this method for my face but my biggest problem has been very very dry skin under my eyes. I have dark circles under my eyes and when I try to conceal them (no matter how light handed I am) it drys up and becomes scaly under my eye. Do you have any tricks or tips for hydrating under the eye and any recommendations for under eye creams and hydrating concealers that may help me?
Where has this video been??? Thank you! My face is so dry right now and it's summer! Everyone talks about the winter time and my face is so dry and cracking... andI haven't really been in the sun! Thank you for the tips!!!
+Koriana Myers Same. My dermatologist told me to NEVER exfoliate again. I was exfoliating to get the dead skin off but she told me to completely stop because I was causing more dryness than I was helping. It was a rough (no pun intended) couple of weeks but once I got through it, my dry spots basically disappears.
+Bailey McMurdie Iv heard that too and I have tried leaving it for weeks at a time and the dead skin just builds up 😔 It doesn't work for me I have to exfoliate
+Jennifer Kirkham To exfoliate with dry skin, don't use an exfoliating scrub! Just buy some sort of astringent (ie witch hazel) and use it with a cotton pad. It won't dry you out and it'll get rid of all the dead/dry skin!
I’m new to your channel. I’ve been so over makeup lately but found your channel and I really enjoyed it. It’s been a long time since I’ve followed a makeup channel. You are very informative and you seem very honest. Thank you.
I'm having really really bad dry skin issues recently. My skin has always been dry but I'm in and out of hospital all the time which dries out my skin worse, been super stressed lately, and it's winter in Scotland. But my skin is literally peeling off my face. It's like the American Baby Feet peel thing, but happening on my face. Two months of this!!! I found out that anything with oil in it is making my skin a lot worse. So everything has to be a water based formula and contain less than 2% of oil. It's now at the point I won't go anywhere and my depression and anxiety (due to other circumstances) is a lot worse and making my skin worse. I've tried every single oil you could possibly think of and the worst was coconut and second to that was almond oil. I need help here. Because I love makeup and love wearing it. All my products are for dry skin and worked perfectly before this happened. My foundation- collection Illuminating foundation and its full coverage and I use a tiny amount. Face masks- lush- don't look at me/Oatifix Moisturiser- boots botanical moisturiser dry skin rescue in the small tub! (Also use their exfoliating wash, cleanser and eye makeup remover. I have everything from the botanical range! Concealer- collection Illuminating concealer Powder- Nyx loose powder and only use it to bake my under eye for five minutes and nowhere else. My dry zones are my nose, and forehead and actually by my ears. Blush- collection one of my Younique one! Highlighter- benefit liquid one and or the sun beam one. Don't use bronzer, my contour is actually a really dark foundation and highlight is a white foundation (I'm always the lightest shade because I'm pale! Lighter than that is this MUR concealer that's basically white. Love it! And it's very very moisturising and not that thick texture. But still beautiful coverage) And that's it that would effect my dry zones. I cannot deal with this crap! I resorted to using hair conditioner to moisturise my skin. And it did work and I didn't have ANY flakey skin for the three months I used it. But it made me freak out invade it damaged my skin and I stopped. And it went back to this dry mess. Anybody. Please. Help. Me.
Alexa Campbell try looking up korean skincare! i tried it and it helped my skin SO MUCH. my face also used to flake off when i wore foundation for 2+ hrs with my past skincare routine. I HIGHLY recommend sleeping masks which is a last step in your routine and it's a very thick and moisturizing overnight cream that makes your face so plump and hydrated when you wake up. Ampoules are also a GODSEND. I use the Cosrx ampoule which doesnt irritate my skin at all and i have hella sensitive skin. I have a 10-step korean skincare routine, it is hellllaaaa time-consuming but very worth it.
Hey Alexa, unfortunately I have the same exact problem from severe health issues, many major surgeries, early menopause from surgery and lots of prescription meds have made my skin a severely dry mess, and extremely sensitive, even almost everything containing aloe gives me eczema so it's really hard for me to find a good moisturizer. I know you said you've tried every kind of oil and they don't work or mess up your skin, do you mean make you break out or make it drier? I've also tried every kind and I have been using 100% pure organic Argan oil, 100% pure organic Rose hip oil, and I just started using a mix of 100% pure organic Macadamia Nut oil with a tiny bit of pure organic need oil (I would use more of the need but I can't stand the smell of it, I so wish they could remove the smell cuz it's an amazing oil) I also add a little Dotera essential oils, Sage and rosemary to cover up the need oil smell but they are also really good for dry skin, but I wouldn't recommend any other essentials oils other then the dotera brand which I think you have to buy through a rep. But the essential oils sold at the stores even Whole Foods are not pure, dotera's are the best, my mom sells them and uses them on her massage patients, she did tons of research. But anyway, that mix has been really helping my skins dryness and also clearing it up, it's also very anti aging. But if you have tried those oils already or don't want to try them, I also found a moisturizer that actually does have aloe but is the only one that hasn't given me eczema, it's weird, but it's the Dr. Jart Ceramidin cream, which is actually from a Japan, I think but has gotten so popular in the US that it's sold at Sephora and Birchbox and probably lots of other places too. It's the most moisturizing cream I've found so far but it's pricy for me so I keep looking and buy it when I can. I mostly use my oils though. I hope this helps. Oh I also just got a sample of Juice Beauty stem cellular exfoliating peel spray in my last Birchbox and it's awesome! It makes my skin so much smoother and softer, again has aloe but has t given me eczema yet, fingers crossed it won't, maybe it's the quality of aloe that makes the difference I don't know, even in expensive products aloe usually breaks me out with eczema. Best of luck!!! And I pray you heal!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry I forgot to say be carful using Macadamia nut oil if you have pets, it is very toxic and can cause paralysis in the hind legs of dogs, there aren't enough studies on what it does to cats but just don't let them lick it off of you if you try it and have pets!
..I know, this is older vid, but if you are still struggling with super dry skin; Try Korean Beauty routines? They saved my super dry sensitive skin! 1: Gentle double cleansing if you are wearing makeup/SPF (or just Bioderma Micellair Water is great for dry skin too, I usually still rinse with water). 2: Hydrating, ph balansing toner and essence. I usually use Missha First Treatment Essence after cleansing, then Puynkang Yul Essence-Toner, which really saves dry, irritated skin! 3: Then hydrating sheet mask (like Missha Speed Solution Hyaluron Mask) or hyaluron serum and finally 4: Puynkang Yul Nutrition Cream. I also exfoliate my skin with the Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toner 2-3/week after cleansing my face. It's so funny, that even if I have dry skin, most of the oils (even 100% pure, fragrance free, which are only ones I ever tried) don't work on my sensitive skin either (or they irritates my sensitive eyes too much)! Surprisingly the best so far is so inexpensiveThe Ordinary Squalene Oil, which work also under makeup :)
It might be time for a dermatologist. I have redness/dryness/contact dermatitis around nose in winter. Doc recommends using head/shoulders. Lather let sit on dry patch. It's skin cells that don't slough off, but build up. That helps remove it. I bought a travel size so I don't need big bottle. It works. You can use moisturizer after.
OMG I can't wait to find these products! I just got all new makeup and I love it, but no matter what I do, every time I apply it all I can see is dry, flaky skin and makeup sitting in every age line on my face. It looks awful! I've been watching video after video trying to find a solution, and finally I've found you! Finally someone who gets it. Thank you!
i use the facial oil you suggested everyday and i use the olive mask everynight. also the makeup forever hd stick is all i use now. you saved my skin with this video. thank you so much!
I so glad someone did dry skin. I see a ton for oil skin tutorials, not much for dry skin. If I don't exfoliate regularly then I look and feel like I have scales. I exfoliate before I put makup on every time. I only wear makup like 3 to 4 times a week. So Im not overdoing exfoliating. I also put a few drops of face oil with my foundation. Love the way it looks and feels when I do that. I have to have full coverage foundation because when I was a teen I had bad acne. I don't have it now, but I still have the scars from it. Even though its been 15 years.
Could you do one with combination skin because I feel like if I do one for dry skin the oily parts are gonna be more oily 😁😁 or could someone else just point me in the direction of one 💛
+Jen Bean ive beej wanting to try an oil for the longest time to mix w my foundation. i might try this one. (: thanks do u have any other recommendations? i find applying my foundation w a beauty blender allows me to use more matte foundations because it sheers it a bit
Every morning I put L'Oréal Collagen cream, also the same face oil from Boots... they make wonders on my skin. I never stop putting my collagen cream and it's only $10 from Target. You should try it.
I have been super dry around my eyebrows eyes and mouth and super oily on my forehead and nose and foundation is a must ! Your tips have helped me alot on everyday application! 😙💖👐
This is actually Sad Marlena... You should know that dry skin should never use a silicone primer cuz silicone grabs to every tiny flake and exaggerates it!
I've been trying everything from expert makeup tips to get my foundation to stop looking cakey and clinging to dry patches, even if it doesnt look dry before I put makeup on, it does quickly. Your tip on hyralonic acid helps, I used the neutrogena hydroboost gel cream for extra dry skin last night and today before applying makeup and it doesnt look cakey or making my dry more dried out! I'm so excited!
You forgot a major ingredient! Glycerin! That is what in fix + makes it so wonderful for dry skin! dimethicone also tends to grab onto flaws, so only use if your face is tight/dehydrated rather than dry and patchy. I prefer two primers, first the laura gellar hydrating and then I spot-correct with porefessional.
Kati Nicole Agree, and my skin hates that drying Benefit primer. Usually hydrating primers work much better on dry skin! My faves are Smashbox Primerizer and Cover FX Illuminating and Anti-Age Primers.
Great video! Wish you would do a similar video for oily/combination mature skin. There is such a fine line between controlling oily break-through and looking too dry! Thanks!
I have normal to dry skin and I agree with some of these tips but not all of them work for me personally. I can't use primers like the Pore-fessional because they are too drying. I tried a sample of the CoverFx foundation and it was very dry and patchy. I have large pores and redness so I find that I can't wear dewy light coverage foundations in the winter when I'm driest and palest. For me, the solution has been lots of skin care. Good exfoliation, oils, and creams to hydrate my skin at night and in the morning. I also spray hydrating mist before and after applying my makeup and use the RT sponge damp. Everybody is different! Love you Marlena!
Marlena, please try to do a collaboration with Jaclyn Hill? I know she said it fell through on both ends because you are both very busy. I would still love to see what the two of you would come up with! You both are very creative and I know you both have an amazing relationship together! I was so sad to hear that it fell through😪🙏🏼 Can I ask when you will be coming out with highlighters & a banana powder?😘
JH spoke about this ages ago I believe, I don't think it fell through it's just JH had some other business stuff going on so she said Manny would go ahead and when timing works out she'll do her MUG pallet.
R. Walsh no she spoke about her line last year. The instagram for her line is @jaclynhillcosmetics on instagram. She wrote on a comment in her most recent video I believe that the collab with makeup geek was off because they were both too busy.
For dark skin sheer butter and coconut oil works as well and also using the aloe Vera face scrub leaves the skin looking matte and ready for the foundation.
Nice video, but one of the things that for me is the most important step is to get rid of all those dead skin cells by scrubbing my face with a gentle scrub before i start this routine... :-)
I tried a sheet mask for the first time recently, a hydrating one from the Miss Spa brand at Walgreen's (cute cartoon girl on the packaging). OMG made me realize sheet masks are a life-changer for dry skin. Leaving it on for 20min, the sheet helps it soak into your skin rather than sort of dissipate when it's exposed to air. And just rub the remaining serum into your skin afterward. AMAZING! Love to use this at night.
Thank you so much for your amazing tips! I’ve had crazy dry skin since I can remember and I have changed my skin routine since watching this video and wow! This has completely transformed my face makeup! My skin looks great for several hours and only starts to slightly crack on my forehead late in the evening. I am so so happy I found this video!! Can’t believe it’s taken me decades to fix my foundation routine. Thanks again!!! 💚💛💙❤️💖
Is your skin dry or actually dehydrated? I used to think I had extremely dry skin, so I used really high end nourishing creams, but it never made my skin and therefore my foundation look better, i'd struggle with virtually any foundation looking dry and cake. But the lady at the clarins counter told me I actually had dehydrated skin, so after using 2 clarins products specifically for that type of skin, and all of a sudden I can use nearly all foundations! Best discovery ever! Something to look into for anyone who assume they're dry skinned.
Thank you so much for this video. I now know what I was doing wrong and corrected it. I pay my powder instead of brushing it on. Makes all the difference!
thanks yall! i got some samples of the marc jacobs remarcable foundation because its full coverage and i love it but it leaves dry patches on my skin in my chin area and around my nose, i have used different primers with it too and still gives the same effect... i will def try those two out.
Ahhh this was so helpful! I'm one of those people that are so dry that I'm willing to spend anything to make it all go away...nothing's worse than putting foundation or makeup on dry snakeskin! And I loveeeeeee that you included inexpensive options....ESP when it comes from someone that has your expertise in makeup and skin, I'm willing to give it a shot! Thank you lovely!
Out of all the hydrating face creams you could use as advice to the average woman with very dry skin you chose Le Mere?? Not all of us own a makeup line nor funded by a TH-cam channel. I really miss the videos from way back you did without all the luxury features you consistently do now. It's great that you are financially well off & successful no hate here just wish you could remember not all of us can afford the highest price tag on all things you use. I see this over & over on TH-cam from ladies I have watched for years turning into these different people & the channels getting so different. Being humble & keeping in mind a lot of us work 12 hours a day while caring for our family keeping up with a home trying our best to make ends meet & as much as we would love a moisturizing cream & other luxuries in the hundreds of dollars we choose to put all that money to our children & eating out once in awhile to have a break from cooking on top of all the rest we do. It would just be nice to not see these overpriced products thrown around as if its just the best little cream or product. If you can afford to just pay out money on products just for the name on the label great but it's not nice to just be all that's featured to "work the best" no matter how sweet you come across it still makes you look as if you just wouldn't use it if its not top of the line & that's not a good look on anyone over abundant wealth or not. There is more than plenty of all that everywhere on every single social media platform all day everyday "Look at me, look at what I have " it would be so nice to not see that so much from you as well.
Why focus on the one thing that's expensive, especially a moisturizer as you can get good moisturizers at the drugstore (try simple and Cerave PM). I thought she did a good job of showing low and high end. Just as there are ppl that can't afford a $100+ moisturizer (I'm in this group) there are ppl who can. Plus these are just suggestions. On a side note your comment makes me think you might feel like it's not fair that other people can have things that you can't. You work hard. You work a lot and have to take care of people. And at the end of the day you can't afford luxury stuff and other ppl who work less than you can. How is that fair? Maybe in wrong but I hear that defensiveness in your comment. And it might help you feel better if instead you're just grateful for what you do have. A family. A job. A roof over your head. I know it sounds simple but it helps the bitterness.
+emigeeayeen No way you have tried "every drugstore" product, that would be ridiculous and cost an incredible amount of money. There are hundreds of dry skin products sitting in your local Walmart alone, much less all the thousands of different products available online from various websites. Come on now, be realistic, don't over-exaggerate. There are a lot of inexpensive products out there for moisturization, including plenty that aren't technically "drugstore" products, and there are plenty of high end products that do not work all that great also. You recommended Origins, and I have to say, I have tried Origins, wasn't that fantastic and I know lots of people who have said the same. I use Queen Helene cocoa butter moisturizer, which is actually from the same brand as the olive oil mask that was suggested in the video, bought from Walmart and costs me like $5 for 15oz of product. Leaves me feeling balanced and baby smooth in the morning.
I completely agree with that. I am a single working mum and no way I can afford expensive products. It would be useful if cheaper alternatives were also mentioned to help those who can't afford expensive items.
+Bella Mae The price of products that TH-camrs present in their videos isn't usually what bothers me. What bothers me most is that the La Mer cream is actually awful for the skin given the irritating ingredients/fragrance it has. I always check Beautypedia because their reviews are based on scientific research and knowledgeable analysis of the ingredients/packaging. I highly recommend looking up BEST rated products on their site. They usually have some for all price points, including drug store. :)
Please do a tutorial on IT Cosmetics. I have had dramatic changes from using this outstanding line. I get so many compliments on my skin, not the makeup!! This line is AWESOME!
Your cracked skin in the video thumbnail made me physically uncomfortable lol. Like when someone on TV has bugs crawling on them and it makes your skin itch.
Thank you for this video! I watch a lot of makeup videos but most skip over the skin care parts. I have such dry skin and never know what works and doesn't! Definitely going to try a foundation you mentioned!
To set my foundation I spray a damp beauty blender or cosmetic sponge with a setting spray. Shake off the excess then lightly dab all over my face (except my eye makeup). This technique really gives my dry skin that dewy finish I love.
I have extremely dry skin, Thank you SO much for doing this video : ) I totally agree with everything especially the oil, I use Argan oil every night and even mornings with my other moisturizers and it makes a HUGE difference. Luv u xoxoxo
Liked the video! I have really dry, flakey skin with alot of redness and all of the products you recommended have hated my skin (minus the setting sprays). Totally goes to show how personal makeup is and that what might work for someone doesn't work for someone else. Thumbs up! 👍
Thank you so much for this video!! I feel like most youtubers have oily skin so they have more tips for that and not much for dry skin so this video made my day thank you
Thanks for this video. I’ve been keeping up with your videos since forever. I’m talking 2010. Happy you made this video. I have really bad dry skin and with the winter it’s worse. Definitely going to get that green mask!!!
Yaasss!! Thank you for this! I'm the same way in the winter time & sometimes in the summer. My t-zone seems like the dryest part of my face, not including my chin.
Yesssss🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 Thank you sooo much for posting this video! I can’t thank you enough. I’m new to makeup and I’m 28 and a mom of 3. My skin is so dry now and I’m trying to start putting makeup on. I have no clue what I’m doing 🙈 I bought Matte+poreless foundation and it looks so bad on me 😭 I literally look way older than I am. So now I’m going to try out these techniques and products and see if I get better results! Again thank you!!! 💕😇 (subscribed and liked) can’t wait to watch more of your videos!!!!!!!
Yep, I'm the owner of the ultra dry skin club!! I live in a very cold, dry climate during the winter which makes things even worse. I find that a key step is exfoliating on a regular basis which you didn't mention. I use the MAC charcoal exfoliant which works great for me. Some other products that I find work excellent are Josie Maran Argan Infinity Intensive Creamy Oil as well as the Josie Maran 100% pure Argan Oil, both found at Sephora. Also, Avene has a wonderful soothing moisture mask that I leave on. For moisturizer, I highly recommend Murad's Hydro-Dynamic Ultimate Moisture lotion (they have one for the face and also one for the eye area) and the Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion + . I also love the Fresh Lotus Youth Preserve Face Cream and the Fresh Rose Hydrating Eye Gel Cream! Facial mists such as Caudalie Grape Water is nice to start hydrating the face with before anything else.ALL wonderful products for dry, dry skin. It truly sucks being dry-skinned :-(
Your such a breath of fresh air!!!!! Thanks for these suggestions!! I have heard so much great things about the Le mer line! I am going to try the travel size cream. Xoxo
Great video... I’m following this and will try to get those products and I’m using every hydrating mask I own ..making it a morning ritual after washing my face with a hydrating facial wash!!
Omg thank you sooooo much I haven't been able to do my makeup in a long time because of the wether and the way it makes my skin look so thank you sooo very much
Literally no matter how much oils and moisturizer I put on , my foundation always ends up separating flaking and caking and looks textured like wth
Emily Deyo , same here. 😡
Same and I’m 17 and still don’t wear makeup that often and I really want to but I just can’t manage my dry skin
same here
Exactly !!!!
Same! My t-zone is where I am most dry and my makeup is so flaky there! 🙄😥
The worst is blackhead/acne prone skin as well as it being super dry! SO HARD TO COVER ANYTHING WITHOUT THE FLAKES:(((
MuffinTopGirlLikeYou im in the same boat as you. nothing i use covers my acne and dry spots without flaking :/ everything is still visible
MuffinTopGirlLikeYou I'm like this rn on my cheeks and its the worst
MuffinTopGirlLikeYou you should try the catrice prime and shine as it is pure refining it really helps and is only 7$ !
Charlotte ah thanks but I live in the UK so I wouldn't be able to get my hands on it
MuffinTopGirlLikeYou at least you guys don't have as much bad stuff in your makeup. but I feel you. not the able to get things part but the dry skin.
I've never related to a thumbnail so much
+Rachel Whitehorse I know! That's me every morning lol
I'm so happy you did this topic. I stopped wearing makeup and foundation because when I put it on it sat in my dry spots and it looked terable.
I forgot to say the reason I have such problems is that I have dry spots with oily skin how do I figure that out? lol
+Catriona Halliday in the same way! Haha especially after a breakout- in those areas I have dry flakes, but everywhere else is oily/normal. I usually use a face wash formulated for oily skin then moisturize with a gel formula (so my oil doesn't go crazy!) and then on the spots I am dry I use a heavier moisturizer. Hope this helps!
+MadameAshlini oh thanks for the tip. we Rilly do have difficult skin lol
Me too!! I used to never wear foundation, by after finding the right formulas I have been using it more and love it!
I'm a pro MUA and I have very dry skin and I am religious about skincare!!! If you have an amazing skin care line and routine (double cleansing baby) it makes a world of difference with your makeup doll!:)
What about combination skin? I have an oily face with SUPER bad dry patches. Like the dry patches are like flakey and when I put foundation on top it just clings to it and makes it took worse.
I have this same problem. my overall skin type is acne prone so I use a gentle scrub with acne medicine in it but then treat the oily and dry parts of my fave differently. if I do masks, I'll have one for oily skin and then use another one for my dry patches. I use a lightweight moisturizer all over and then go back with a heavier cream where needed.
+Mykayla Bethany My exact problem every winter
Have you tried AHAs and BHAs year?
+Jessie LC lol she went to beauty school is all they don't teach actual dermatological studies there 😂 what you are saying is correct about skin.
omg put moisturiser asap
You're an angel I love you! Great video!!!!!!! I'm the driest in my t zone :( why!!!!!
Same here! Driest in my t zone and I hate it. Do you have issues with foundation on your nose also?
Kathleen!!!!!
i love u Kathleennn ❤️❤️❤️
+aprillovesjulio i do and it looks so ugly omfg
what is good for combo skin?? i recently tried the tarte amazionian clay 12hr full coverage foundation and i love the feel of it, but around my nose, cheeks and forehead, it gets dry and yet oily at the same time....help!!! idk what to do :(
the only problem I got is the foundation settles in my smile lines it makes me look like I'm 50.
Charles Zabala SAME
GIRL BAKE BAKE BAKE UR SMILE LINES BELIEVE ME THIS IS A MIRACLE
I have the same problem
I've seen a vid suggesting using eyeshadow primer or concealer on smile lines, to help out. Then applying face powder to bake it in.
Selena Lopez how?????????
I'm so dry in the winter! Thanks for the tips
For those of you looking for a really good primer for dry skin, try Hourglass N28 Serum primer! Its my HOLY GRAIL🙌🏼
Use thin layer of vaseline as a primer , won't clog your pores, hydrates your skin and its tacky for holding your foundation. Then use your foundation setting powder.
$68 yeah noo
Cole Sprouse thats why you steal 😌❤️✨
Jen V you know what? That’s doesn’t sound so bad 🤔
It is hard to believe I used to have oily skin as now my skin could be used to soak up an oil spill! Great tips - thanks Marlena. ♥ Elle
Elle Is For Living Me too! I got dry skin after I had a baby. 😄
I always considered the Benefit Porefessional as a better a primer for oily skin. I am dry and have found the Smashbox Primer Water is the best and it agrees with every foundation formula- no rolling! :)
Use thin layer of vaseline as a primer , won't clog your pores, hydrates your skin and its tacky for holding your foundation. Then use your foundation setting powder.
Ugh i bought the porefessional primer once and it made my foundation look the worst it had ever looked . It was literally crumbling off and there was flakes all over my forehead and around my mouth, and this was a high quality expensive foundation that i always use too.
You know out of all of the beauty channel that I’ve watched over the last few months I keep coming back to yours. You’re so real and so knowledgeable. Thank you so much for doing what you do I know that we all appreciate it. Keep up the good work
i'm glad i don't have oily skin like most teenagers because it means less acne, but when it comes winter time i can't scratch my face the tiniest bit without flakes falling off!! it's DISGUSTING!! and i love makeup so i can't even wear foundation bc it looks like i'm a porcelain doll that is cracking
MissMaddieMakeup I have dry skin and acne
MissMaddieMakeup your skin changes every 20 years. Oh and when you have a baby it really changes. those hormones really change it .
@@littlereddress82 changes for better or worse? I’m only 19 and have had acne for my than half my life😞
You are amazing!! I was getting so down and didn’t think there was a solution to my dry skin problems!! My skin always looked patchy and dry but adding the oil (which I never thought you should mix with foundation etc lol!) worked a treat! Thank you so much you’ve made me feel so much more confident in make up :D I’ve tried so many expensive foundations/skin regimes etc and non of the ‘professionals’ could never tell me why or how to get rid of my dryness?!!! It’s crazy.
Thank you so much, I love your videos will be watching and following your tips
Gemma :) xx
Also, a trick I learned from Wayne Goss is to mix one drop of a face oil in your moisturizer. It is amazing! You know how when you apply your powder and your fakes show more? Not if you use pop in your foundation. It's been a godsend for me.
*oil. Dang autocorrect
Use thin layer of vaseline as a primer , won't clog your pores, hydrates your skin and its tacky for holding your foundation. Then use your foundation setting powder.
@@Summerlove23 I might try this,, im a bit afraid cuz I heard a girl got her eye ducts (the hole where you cry from on your waterline) clogged because of it and it was so scary
Finally a detailed video dedicated to those with dry skin ! :D Thanks Marlena
What if I have SUPER DRY LIZARD SKIN around my eyes and eyebrows and super oily skin on my nose and forehead? :(
i feel you gurl! use a mattifying primer on your oily spots and a hydrating+skin perfecting one on the flaky parts. Naked Skin concealer covers up alligator/"lizard" skin. dewy foundation all over (I love the Bodyshop one) and last but not least, press a small amount of face or HD powder on your oily spots NOT the entire face. hope that helps :)
dasgruene chamaeleon
Thank you! I will try this. I like to "bake" my face I guess as you would call it lol and its terrible because the areas that I place the powder are under my eyes and they literally peel off and look really messed up. Saddens me that I'll have to stop that but I guess you gotta do what you gotta do
i used to do the exact same thing! my undereyes peel like a snake -_- however, you can still set it, just dip your beauty sponge in powder and dab it on. just not a shitload of it
dasgruene chamaeleon
Thank you love :)

Really glad that you've made a makeup video for dry skin. Most makeup gurus on TH-cam have oily skin. Thank you!
Marlena can you make a video for combination skin types? 😊 amazing video!
I have combo skin and I've been using Shiseido Purifying cleanser, the Josie Maran whipped argon oil - big joyful at night before bed, mask: Glam Glow Flash Mud, Primer: Make Up Forever Smoothing, and I'm loving the Make Up Forever Ultra HD Stick foundation. Hope this helps! 💗
+DeAnna Angelique how abt makeup remover esp for a more drier combi skin?
+ash t i used coconut oil to remove my makeup (i have dry skin) it works so well the makeup just glides off
I was about to toss my foundation because of my dry skin but I tried prepping my skin as you suggested and what a world of difference it made for my skin. Thank you very much for doing this video!!
A facial mist is a must for dry skin! Excited to try the other tips as well! Great video
These products do work. I had to change my skincare routine last year due to dry patches. Yes these steps work. If you find the right face oil, it can really solve your makeup/skin issues with a drop.
first off , thank you for doing a vid for dry skin . i feel like most of the people on youtube have oily or combo skin .
i'm gonna look into the boots botanics facial oil since i really love the organic hydrating day cream that i received from influenster .
thanks , marlena !
whoops , i forgot to ask , can you please do a video on the best powders for dry skin ?
thank you !
+Nicole O. You should try Mac Mineralize skin finish natural powders. They are a little sheer and so natural looking and the most perfect powder I have found for dry skin! :)
+Nicole O. None. powders are made to absord oils.
I love watching your videos you are so bubbly and full of life. I love how you help create body positivity on your channel. I love your laugh and I just all around love your videos. You are by FAR the best youtuber, Infuencer, and makeup brand owner I watch. Thanks for being a breath of fresh air.
I have oily and dry skin. I have no idea what to do.
Heather Mueller me too I'm have oily and dry too I'm last lost
Heather Mueller Moisturize and moisturize some more. Try something deeply hydrating like Clinique dramatically different moisture +. :)
Heather Mueller exfoliate at least once a week. There are times you can get excess oil off face with a napkin. Still moisturize. Powder places that are not terribly dry. I would test that before actually going somewhere. moisturize before then powder. Hope that helps!!
Heather Mueller fuggg me too! I exfoliate with a face scrub, moisturize with a non oily formula..I prime and put on my makeup and by the end if the day I look at my face and Im fucking peely like a snake thats shedding! wtf 😖😖 A million videos later and Im still lost. I try diff techniques and still the same shit
same! if you're trying to get rid of your oily spots, try using a generic facemask or tea tree oil on them (do not put on already-dry spots) and then follow up with a moisturizer. I have to help my boyfriend apply a face mask (Freeman's avocado mask) once a week to keep his T-zone under control. If you're trying to get rid of the dry patches, definitely exfoliate and look into purchasing argan oil if you don't already own it (but coconut oil works too)! Avoid any drying or hardening masks on dry skin and maybe consider some DIY facemasks (like Yogurt+honey+avocado, that one is my fav) and use oils to remove makeup and moisturize (remove makeup with oil, wash your face with whatever face wash you usually use, exfoliate while doing so, then lock in the goodness by putting a small amount of oil in your hands (size of a dime) and run your hands under the faucet for literally half a second to dilute the oil. Then pat on your face and let air-dry)! Just remember that it's easier to put makeup on oily skin than dry skin, so if you're going to try and combat one of your skin types, definitely take care of the dry skin first :)
Hi Marlena! Can you please do an updated video on products to prep skin with? A lot of the items are now discontinued. Thank you for all you do
the problem that I have is that I want a dewy finish and Id rather not powder my face but if I don't my bonzer, blush and highlighter won't go on smooth. Does anyone have any tips for that?
What I do is powder my cheeks only. Then go on top with bronzer contour and blush. It mattifies that area so that it's easier to blend. You can also use cream products if that doesn't work for you :) check out my channel! I'm thinking about doing separate information videos soon 💋 xoxo
Maybe switch to cream blush highlight and bronzer. Or you can scrape some of your powder product out and mix it into a little of your foundation primer to make a cream and apply that. Idk just some ideas that work for me!
+Caitlyn Sydney That´s the same thing I´m wondering as well :/
+Caitlyn Sydney a cream bronzer, cream highlighter and cream blush might be better for you :) it'd probly be better than the powder ones anyways because they will really make a dewy finish for you.
Use a different brush. One with less dense bristles like a duo-fiber brush, which applies the product and blends it at the same time. I used to have the same problem and this is what solved it for me :)
I love argon oil it's great for face,nails,dry feet, as well as hair love ,love,love!
+Cara Cutchineal i agree i use argan oil on a daily basis
+joan bruun definitely! !!!!!
+Cara Cutchineal its also great for figthing dandra hehe just saying
+joan bruun lol nice hehe
+Cara Cutchineal lol its amazing what it can be used for :-D
My face is so dry during winter, can't wait to try some of these techniques, thank you!
I have DRY sensitive skin! All the primers I've tried make my skin break out or the foundation slips or floats! So no primer for my dry cracks!😂 I find just staying hydrated helps the best for me.
I had a similar problem. I made my own primer using a moisturizer I like, aloe vera gel, and a bit of glycerin. I also added a bit of foundation.
No idea if this could work for you but I use a liposomal sunscreen and it doubles as a primer. I did this after a film MUA said she uses it as a primer for her clients. :-)
+christine hayes thank you! I will give it a try for sure!👍🏻
+architecturaldream1 I will look it up! I've never heard of that before. Thank you for telling me!👌🏻
As an MUA the one that I love is either Embroylisse or Marc Jacobs Coconut primer!! Those are great for sensitive skin!! :)
Amazing tumbnail! And thanks for explaining the dry skin foundation routine. My skin is so dry right now, all BB creams and foundations are unkind to the dry spots on my forhead and arround the nose
I moved from New Zealand to California and my skin went from oily (in New Zealand) to dry here in California. I will try this method for my face but my biggest problem has been very very dry skin under my eyes. I have dark circles under my eyes and when I try to conceal them (no matter how light handed I am) it drys up and becomes scaly under my eye. Do you have any tricks or tips for hydrating under the eye and any recommendations for under eye creams and hydrating concealers that may help me?
Where has this video been??? Thank you! My face is so dry right now and it's summer! Everyone talks about the winter time and my face is so dry and cracking... andI haven't really been in the sun! Thank you for the tips!!!
You didn't mention anything about exfoliating, even if I did all those steps I would still have dry dead skin, I have to exfoliate before anything
I've always thought that too but I went to an esthetician and she said that exfoliating just dries your face out more over time
+Koriana Myers Same. My dermatologist told me to NEVER exfoliate again. I was exfoliating to get the dead skin off but she told me to completely stop because I was causing more dryness than I was helping. It was a rough (no pun intended) couple of weeks but once I got through it, my dry spots basically disappears.
+Bailey McMurdie Iv heard that too and I have tried leaving it for weeks at a time and the dead skin just builds up 😔 It doesn't work for me I have to exfoliate
+Jennifer Kirkham To exfoliate with dry skin, don't use an exfoliating scrub! Just buy some sort of astringent (ie witch hazel) and use it with a cotton pad. It won't dry you out and it'll get rid of all the dead/dry skin!
after Christie Brinkley said daily exfoliating has been part of her regime for many yrs. I'm doing it. I mean, look at her.
I’m new to your channel. I’ve been so over makeup lately but found your channel and I really enjoyed it. It’s been a long time since I’ve followed a makeup channel. You are very informative and you seem very honest. Thank you.
I'm having really really bad dry skin issues recently.
My skin has always been dry but I'm in and out of hospital all the time which dries out my skin worse, been super stressed lately, and it's winter in Scotland.
But my skin is literally peeling off my face. It's like the American Baby Feet peel thing, but happening on my face. Two months of this!!!
I found out that anything with oil in it is making my skin a lot worse. So everything has to be a water based formula and contain less than 2% of oil.
It's now at the point I won't go anywhere and my depression and anxiety (due to other circumstances) is a lot worse and making my skin worse.
I've tried every single oil you could possibly think of and the worst was coconut and second to that was almond oil.
I need help here. Because I love makeup and love wearing it. All my products are for dry skin and worked perfectly before this happened.
My foundation- collection Illuminating foundation and its full coverage and I use a tiny amount.
Face masks- lush- don't look at me/Oatifix
Moisturiser- boots botanical moisturiser dry skin rescue in the small tub! (Also use their exfoliating wash, cleanser and eye makeup remover. I have everything from the botanical range!
Concealer- collection Illuminating concealer
Powder- Nyx loose powder and only use it to bake my under eye for five minutes and nowhere else. My dry zones are my nose, and forehead and actually by my ears.
Blush- collection one of my Younique one!
Highlighter- benefit liquid one and or the sun beam one.
Don't use bronzer, my contour is actually a really dark foundation and highlight is a white foundation (I'm always the lightest shade because I'm pale! Lighter than that is this MUR concealer that's basically white. Love it! And it's very very moisturising and not that thick texture. But still beautiful coverage)
And that's it that would effect my dry zones.
I cannot deal with this crap! I resorted to using hair conditioner to moisturise my skin. And it did work and I didn't have ANY flakey skin for the three months I used it. But it made me freak out invade it damaged my skin and I stopped. And it went back to this dry mess.
Anybody. Please. Help. Me.
Alexa Campbell try looking up korean skincare! i tried it and it helped my skin SO MUCH. my face also used to flake off when i wore foundation for 2+ hrs with my past skincare routine. I HIGHLY recommend sleeping masks which is a last step in your routine and it's a very thick and moisturizing overnight cream that makes your face so plump and hydrated when you wake up. Ampoules are also a GODSEND. I use the Cosrx ampoule which doesnt irritate my skin at all and i have hella sensitive skin. I have a 10-step korean skincare routine, it is hellllaaaa time-consuming but very worth it.
Hey Alexa, unfortunately I have the same exact problem from severe health issues, many major surgeries, early menopause from surgery and lots of prescription meds have made my skin a severely dry mess, and extremely sensitive, even almost everything containing aloe gives me eczema so it's really hard for me to find a good moisturizer. I know you said you've tried every kind of oil and they don't work or mess up your skin, do you mean make you break out or make it drier? I've also tried every kind and I have been using 100% pure organic Argan oil, 100% pure organic Rose hip oil, and I just started using a mix of 100% pure organic Macadamia Nut oil with a tiny bit of pure organic need oil (I would use more of the need but I can't stand the smell of it, I so wish they could remove the smell cuz it's an amazing oil) I also add a little Dotera essential oils, Sage and rosemary to cover up the need oil smell but they are also really good for dry skin, but I wouldn't recommend any other essentials oils other then the dotera brand which I think you have to buy through a rep. But the essential oils sold at the stores even Whole Foods are not pure, dotera's are the best, my mom sells them and uses them on her massage patients, she did tons of research. But anyway, that mix has been really helping my skins dryness and also clearing it up, it's also very anti aging. But if you have tried those oils already or don't want to try them, I also found a moisturizer that actually does have aloe but is the only one that hasn't given me eczema, it's weird, but it's the Dr. Jart Ceramidin cream, which is actually from a Japan, I think but has gotten so popular in the US that it's sold at Sephora and Birchbox and probably lots of other places too. It's the most moisturizing cream I've found so far but it's pricy for me so I keep looking and buy it when I can. I mostly use my oils though. I hope this helps. Oh I also just got a sample of Juice Beauty stem cellular exfoliating peel spray in my last Birchbox and it's awesome! It makes my skin so much smoother and softer, again has aloe but has t given me eczema yet, fingers crossed it won't, maybe it's the quality of aloe that makes the difference I don't know, even in expensive products aloe usually breaks me out with eczema. Best of luck!!! And I pray you heal!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry I forgot to say be carful using Macadamia nut oil if you have pets, it is very toxic and can cause paralysis in the hind legs of dogs, there aren't enough studies on what it does to cats but just don't let them lick it off of you if you try it and have pets!
..I know, this is older vid, but if you are still struggling with super dry skin; Try Korean Beauty routines? They saved my super dry sensitive skin!
1: Gentle double cleansing if you are wearing makeup/SPF (or just Bioderma Micellair Water is great for dry skin too, I usually still rinse with water). 2: Hydrating, ph balansing toner and essence. I usually use Missha First Treatment Essence after cleansing, then Puynkang Yul Essence-Toner, which really saves dry, irritated skin! 3: Then hydrating sheet mask (like Missha Speed Solution Hyaluron Mask) or hyaluron serum and finally 4: Puynkang Yul Nutrition Cream. I also exfoliate my skin with the Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toner 2-3/week after cleansing my face. It's so funny, that even if I have dry skin, most of the oils (even 100% pure, fragrance free, which are only ones I ever tried) don't work on my sensitive skin either (or they irritates my sensitive eyes too much)! Surprisingly the best so far is so inexpensiveThe Ordinary Squalene Oil, which work also under makeup :)
It might be time for a dermatologist. I have redness/dryness/contact dermatitis around nose in winter. Doc recommends using head/shoulders. Lather let sit on dry patch. It's skin cells that don't slough off, but build up. That helps remove it. I bought a travel size so I don't need big bottle. It works. You can use moisturizer after.
OMG I can't wait to find these products! I just got all new makeup and I love it, but no matter what I do, every time I apply it all I can see is dry, flaky skin and makeup sitting in every age line on my face. It looks awful! I've been watching video after video trying to find a solution, and finally I've found you! Finally someone who gets it. Thank you!
I love that Olive oil mask! I use it all the time, it's wonderful. I have to use it before I put foundation on or it'll turn out horrible.
I get mine from Sally's Beauty store
+Jezza B thank you for this comment I have been to 3 wal marts,target,ultra,wal greens and k mart but I can't find the queen Helene mask
You're very welcome, happy to help
+Jezza B how much is it
+Rose Cruz I usually pay about 4-5 dollars for it
i use the facial oil you suggested everyday and i use the olive mask everynight. also the makeup forever hd stick is all i use now. you saved my skin with this video. thank you so much!
Just what I needed rn
I so glad someone did dry skin. I see a ton for oil skin tutorials, not much for dry skin. If I don't exfoliate regularly then I look and feel like I have scales. I exfoliate before I put makup on every time. I only wear makup like 3 to 4 times a week. So Im not overdoing exfoliating. I also put a few drops of face oil with my foundation. Love the way it looks and feels when I do that. I have to have full coverage foundation because when I was a teen I had bad acne. I don't have it now, but I still have the scars from it. Even though its been 15 years.
THANK YOU! I have been waiting my whole life for a video about this :P
Could you do one with combination skin because I feel like if I do one for dry skin the oily parts are gonna be more oily 😁😁 or could someone else just point me in the direction of one 💛
Finally someone talks about dry face thank you so much love the tips & tricks
Any good drugstore foundations for dry skin?
loreal lumi both the regular amd the new cushion are awesome (:
I finally bought a beauty oil. Specifically the oil from the blissful body and it's been a game changer! I add it to my foundation. Omfg. Omg.
+Jen Bean ive beej wanting to try an oil for the longest time to mix w my foundation. i might try this one. (: thanks
do u have any other recommendations?
i find applying my foundation w a beauty blender allows me to use more matte foundations because it sheers it a bit
+Mzlily09 maybelline fit me matte and poreless is amazing. Don't be fooled by the matte in the name, its not very matte and not drying at all
Every morning I put L'Oréal Collagen cream, also the same face oil from Boots... they make wonders on my skin.
I never stop putting my collagen cream and it's only $10 from Target. You should try it.
I have been super dry around my eyebrows eyes and mouth and super oily on my forehead and nose and foundation is a must ! Your tips have helped me alot on everyday application! 😙💖👐
This is actually Sad Marlena... You should know that dry skin should never use a silicone primer cuz silicone grabs to every tiny flake and exaggerates it!
you are so right! my dry skin hates silicone primer, that exact thing happens every time
I think it works differently for everyone. Definitely use a gentle exfoliator the night before. That might change the application 😁❤️
+RoccoBuzz Actually I have super dry skin and silicone based moisturizers help me best.
I actually prefer silicone primers and I have SUPER dry skin.. It's different for different people though
I actually prefer silicone base primers bc it combats my cracking sick and my foundation glides better not settling in the dry cracked skin.
I've been trying everything from expert makeup tips to get my foundation to stop looking cakey and clinging to dry patches, even if it doesnt look dry before I put makeup on, it does quickly. Your tip on hyralonic acid helps, I used the neutrogena hydroboost gel cream for extra dry skin last night and today before applying makeup and it doesnt look cakey or making my dry more dried out! I'm so excited!
You forgot a major ingredient! Glycerin! That is what in fix + makes it so wonderful for dry skin! dimethicone also tends to grab onto flaws, so only use if your face is tight/dehydrated rather than dry and patchy. I prefer two primers, first the laura gellar hydrating and then I spot-correct with porefessional.
Kati Nicole Agree, and my skin hates that drying Benefit primer. Usually hydrating primers work much better on dry skin! My faves are Smashbox Primerizer and Cover FX Illuminating and Anti-Age Primers.
Kati Nicole
Great video! Wish you would do a similar video for oily/combination mature skin. There is such a fine line between controlling oily break-through and looking too dry!
Thanks!
When your favorite foundation of life is extra matte and you're skin is extra crispy. The struggle :(
That product display layout in the beginning....thank you...you know it is a good video with that style editing for you. thank you again!
Wonderful!
I have normal to dry skin and I agree with some of these tips but not all of them work for me personally. I can't use primers like the Pore-fessional because they are too drying. I tried a sample of the CoverFx foundation and it was very dry and patchy. I have large pores and redness so I find that I can't wear dewy light coverage foundations in the winter when I'm driest and palest. For me, the solution has been lots of skin care. Good exfoliation, oils, and creams to hydrate my skin at night and in the morning. I also spray hydrating mist before and after applying my makeup and use the RT sponge damp. Everybody is different! Love you Marlena!
Marlena, please try to do a collaboration with Jaclyn Hill? I know she said it fell through on both ends because you are both very busy. I would still love to see what the two of you would come up with! You both are very creative and I know you both have an amazing relationship together! I was so sad to hear that it fell through😪🙏🏼 Can I ask when you will be coming out with highlighters & a banana powder?😘
+Jamie Jaclyn is coming out with her own line which will be so amazing!
No way!!! This is news to me! Ugh how disappointing :(
JH spoke about this ages ago I believe, I don't think it fell through it's just JH had some other business stuff going on so she said Manny would go ahead and when timing works out she'll do her MUG pallet.
+Caren Collins holy moly this is news to me! Did you find this out on Snapchat?
R. Walsh no she spoke about her line last year. The instagram for her line is @jaclynhillcosmetics on instagram. She wrote on a comment in her most recent video I believe that the collab with makeup geek was off because they were both too busy.
For dark skin sheer butter and coconut oil works as well and also using the aloe Vera face scrub leaves the skin looking matte and ready for the foundation.
Hahah aww the bloopers were so cute
thank you so much for finding an inexpensive facial oil! I have been looking for one forever and can't wait to try this out!
Nice video, but one of the things that for me is the most important step is to get rid of all those dead skin cells by scrubbing my face with a gentle scrub before i start this routine... :-)
I tried a sheet mask for the first time recently, a hydrating one from the Miss Spa brand at Walgreen's (cute cartoon girl on the packaging). OMG made me realize sheet masks are a life-changer for dry skin. Leaving it on for 20min, the sheet helps it soak into your skin rather than sort of dissipate when it's exposed to air. And just rub the remaining serum into your skin afterward. AMAZING! Love to use this at night.
That dry skin visual on the thumbnail is groooossssss lol
Thank you so much for your amazing tips! I’ve had crazy dry skin since I can remember and I have changed my skin routine since watching this video and wow! This has completely transformed my face makeup! My skin looks great for several hours and only starts to slightly crack on my forehead late in the evening. I am so so happy I found this video!! Can’t believe it’s taken me decades to fix my foundation routine. Thanks again!!! 💚💛💙❤️💖
This was fabulous my friend!!!🙌💕
#TeamdrySkin
I get so happy to see a video for dry skin! I almost always see tips n product reccomendations for oily..way to represent 👏
I don't know why, but that thumbnail really freaked me out 😂😂😂
Is your skin dry or actually dehydrated? I used to think I had extremely dry skin, so I used really high end nourishing creams, but it never made my skin and therefore my foundation look better, i'd struggle with virtually any foundation looking dry and cake. But the lady at the clarins counter told me I actually had dehydrated skin, so after using 2 clarins products specifically for that type of skin, and all of a sudden I can use nearly all foundations! Best discovery ever! Something to look into for anyone who assume they're dry skinned.
That thumbnail was too real lol my skincare life in a photo 😹
Thank you so much for this video. I now know what I was doing wrong and corrected it. I pay my powder instead of brushing it on. Makes all the difference!
Great video but please don't rub your dry skin with a cloth. That makes more flakes and irritates her skin. It's all about being gentle!
Thank you so much for doing this video as I've been having terrible trouble with my dry skin nothing seems to work will try These tips
full coverage foundation for dry skin HELP
+Hannah Hill i think the MUFE hd foundation stick that she used is suppose to be full coverage
thanks yall! i got some samples of the marc jacobs remarcable foundation because its full coverage and i love it but it leaves dry patches on my skin in my chin area and around my nose, i have used different primers with it too and still gives the same effect... i will def try those two out.
As a MUA, I recommend the new Clinique beyond perfecting foundation. It's really great! That or Armani Luminous Silk is fabulous!!
and my second choice was the Clinique orginally before marc jacobs!
thanks ladies
Clinique is what I swear by!
Ahhh this was so helpful! I'm one of those people that are so dry that I'm willing to spend anything to make it all go away...nothing's worse than putting foundation or makeup on dry snakeskin! And I loveeeeeee that you included inexpensive options....ESP when it comes from someone that has your expertise in makeup and skin, I'm willing to give it a shot! Thank you lovely!
Out of all the hydrating face creams you could use as advice to the average woman with very dry skin you chose Le Mere?? Not all of us own a makeup line nor funded by a TH-cam channel. I really miss the videos from way back you did without all the luxury features you consistently do now. It's great that you are financially well off & successful no hate here just wish you could remember not all of us can afford the highest price tag on all things you use. I see this over & over on TH-cam from ladies I have watched for years turning into these different people & the channels getting so different. Being humble & keeping in mind a lot of us work 12 hours a day while caring for our family keeping up with a home trying our best to make ends meet & as much as we would love a moisturizing cream & other luxuries in the hundreds of dollars we choose to put all that money to our children & eating out once in awhile to have a break from cooking on top of all the rest we do. It would just be nice to not see these overpriced products thrown around as if its just the best little cream or product. If you can afford to just pay out money on products just for the name on the label great but it's not nice to just be all that's featured to "work the best" no matter how sweet you come across it still makes you look as if you just wouldn't use it if its not top of the line & that's not a good look on anyone over abundant wealth or not. There is more than plenty of all that everywhere on every single social media platform all day everyday "Look at me, look at what I have " it would be so nice to not see that so much from you as well.
Why focus on the one thing that's expensive, especially a moisturizer as you can get good moisturizers at the drugstore (try simple and Cerave PM). I thought she did a good job of showing low and high end. Just as there are ppl that can't afford a $100+ moisturizer (I'm in this group) there are ppl who can. Plus these are just suggestions.
On a side note your comment makes me think you might feel like it's not fair that other people can have things that you can't. You work hard. You work a lot and have to take care of people. And at the end of the day you can't afford luxury stuff and other ppl who work less than you can. How is that fair?
Maybe in wrong but I hear that defensiveness in your comment. And it might help you feel better if instead you're just grateful for what you do have. A family. A job. A roof over your head. I know it sounds simple but it helps the bitterness.
+emigeeayeen No way you have tried "every drugstore" product, that would be ridiculous and cost an incredible amount of money. There are hundreds of dry skin products sitting in your local Walmart alone, much less all the thousands of different products available online from various websites. Come on now, be realistic, don't over-exaggerate. There are a lot of inexpensive products out there for moisturization, including plenty that aren't technically "drugstore" products, and there are plenty of high end products that do not work all that great also. You recommended Origins, and I have to say, I have tried Origins, wasn't that fantastic and I know lots of people who have said the same. I use Queen Helene cocoa butter moisturizer, which is actually from the same brand as the olive oil mask that was suggested in the video, bought from Walmart and costs me like $5 for 15oz of product. Leaves me feeling balanced and baby smooth in the morning.
I completely agree with that. I am a single working mum and no way I can afford expensive products. It would be useful if cheaper alternatives were also mentioned to help those who can't afford expensive items.
+Bella Mae The price of products that TH-camrs present in their videos isn't usually what bothers me. What bothers me most is that the La Mer cream is actually awful for the skin given the irritating ingredients/fragrance it has. I always check Beautypedia because their reviews are based on scientific research and knowledgeable analysis of the ingredients/packaging. I highly recommend looking up BEST rated products on their site. They usually have some for all price points, including drug store. :)
Bella Mae, you are SO right!!! I have kids and bills, like most of us watching these channels. But I guess that's par for the course.
Please do a tutorial on IT Cosmetics. I have had dramatic changes from using this outstanding line. I get so many compliments on my skin, not the makeup!! This line is AWESOME!
Your cracked skin in the video thumbnail made me physically uncomfortable lol. Like when someone on TV has bugs crawling on them and it makes your skin itch.
For my dry skin the L'Oreal Lumi Cushion foundation and the Almay Smart Shade foundation are great.
You can totally tell she has lip injections no hate
It's not like she's trying to hide it
+Leslie Martinez ok? Why point it out tho ?
This is my skin! I have eczema as well in some spots. Dry skin sucks, but I'm slowly getting all the types of products needed for dewy skin :)
Really? Am I the only one with OILY SKIN?
mine is DRY AND OILY
oily is better than dry
+CatsAndCoffee17 having exceptionally dry skin myself, I agree, I can't even put foundation on without it peeling within 1 minute 😩
+CatsAndCoffee17 true 😩
Million videos on youtube for oily skin. Not enough for us dry girls.
Thank you for this video! I watch a lot of makeup videos but most skip over the skin care parts. I have such dry skin and never know what works and doesn't! Definitely going to try a foundation you mentioned!
To set my foundation I spray a damp beauty blender or cosmetic sponge with a setting spray. Shake off the excess then lightly dab all over my face (except my eye makeup). This technique really gives my dry skin that dewy finish I love.
I have extremely dry skin, Thank you SO much for doing this video : ) I totally agree
with everything especially the oil, I use Argan oil every night and even mornings with
my other moisturizers and it makes a HUGE difference. Luv u xoxoxo
Please do a all max factor look and first impressions with it and let us know how it works throughout the day ♥️♥️
Liked the video! I have really dry, flakey skin with alot of redness and all of the products you recommended have hated my skin (minus the setting sprays). Totally goes to show how personal makeup is and that what might work for someone doesn't work for someone else. Thumbs up! 👍
This is first time i m getting fully satisfied with you tube make up video. Thax alot
Thank you so much for this video!!
I feel like most youtubers have oily skin so they have more tips for that and not much for dry skin so this video made my day thank you
Thanks for this video. I’ve been keeping up with your videos since forever. I’m talking 2010. Happy you made this video. I have really bad dry skin and with the winter it’s worse. Definitely going to get that green mask!!!
Dude I love your videos! Even more, I love that you own a friggen company and still make videos for us! Love your brand!
I loveeeee that boots oil. It's so good. I have acne prone - sensitive skin and it helps me out soooo much!
Yaasss!! Thank you for this! I'm the same way in the winter time & sometimes in the summer. My t-zone seems like the dryest part of my face, not including my chin.
Yesssss🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 Thank you sooo much for posting this video! I can’t thank you enough. I’m new to makeup and I’m 28 and a mom of 3. My skin is so dry now and I’m trying to start putting makeup on. I have no clue what I’m doing 🙈 I bought Matte+poreless foundation and it looks so bad on me 😭 I literally look way older than I am. So now I’m going to try out these techniques and products and see if I get better results! Again thank you!!! 💕😇 (subscribed and liked) can’t wait to watch more of your videos!!!!!!!
Thank you for the tips as I have been going through an even drier skin issue lately. And your hair color is gorgeous on you!!
Yep, I'm the owner of the ultra dry skin club!! I live in a very cold, dry climate during the winter which makes things even worse. I find that a key step is exfoliating on a regular basis which you didn't mention. I use the MAC charcoal exfoliant which works great for me. Some other products that I find work excellent are Josie Maran Argan Infinity Intensive Creamy Oil as well as the Josie Maran 100% pure Argan Oil, both found at Sephora. Also, Avene has a wonderful soothing moisture mask that I leave on. For moisturizer, I highly recommend Murad's Hydro-Dynamic Ultimate Moisture lotion (they have one for the face and also one for the eye area) and the Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion + . I also love the Fresh Lotus Youth Preserve Face Cream and the Fresh Rose Hydrating Eye Gel Cream! Facial mists such as Caudalie Grape Water is nice to start hydrating the face with before anything else.ALL wonderful products for dry, dry skin. It truly sucks being dry-skinned :-(
Your such a breath of fresh air!!!!! Thanks for these suggestions!! I have heard so much great things about the Le mer line! I am going to try the travel size cream. Xoxo
I love how happy you are.
Know this video is old, but I can't find any real makeup TH-cam that for women with everyday dry skin. So thank you so much.
This is the most helpful video yet !! Winter is wrecking havoc on my dry skin
Great video... I’m following this and will try to get those products and I’m using every hydrating mask I own ..making it a morning ritual after washing my face with a hydrating facial wash!!
Omg thank you sooooo much I haven't been able to do my makeup in a long time because of the wether and the way it makes my skin look so thank you sooo very much
I am new to watching makeup tutorials on TH-cam. I love that I found someone my age!! Yay!!! Marlena I love your makeup. I am so excited.
