“Powder can look cakey on dry skin,” says Johnson. Instead, use layers of moisture like Stila Hydrating Primer ($34) and Clé de Peau Beauté Cream Foundation ($118), which contains hyaluronic acid.

“Makeup slides on oily skin, so apply mattifying products to control shine,” says Johnson. Try Cover FX Clearprep FX primer ($39) it can also act as a spot treatment for acne and blemishes.or Rimmel London Stay Matte Clarifying Matte Foundation ($6.99).

Tone Down Redness

“The ingredients in your makeup must be soothing,” notes Cover FX makeup artist Nathan Johnson. Try Clinique Redness Solutions Instant Relief Mineral Powder ($32.50), which has caffeine and mushroom extract to calm skin.

Brighten Eyes
