Great Moisturizers to Apply Under Makeup
When was the last time you rubbed a moisturizer on your face, only to have it give you an a) pasty b) greasy or c) caked on look after applying makeup? As hard as it is to find a great foundation or primer, it can be just as difficult to find a good facial moisturizer that is harmonious with your cosmetics. These are 3 of my favorite face lotions that keep you hydrated and glowing throughout the day without messing up the flawless makeup finish you're looking for:
The Body Shop Maca Root Energetic Face Protector
This is marketed as being "only for men" but I picked it up on a whim because of its economic size. Plus, maca root had been touted as the newest heath star so it also captured my eye in the store. Now this has become my go-to moisturizer. Worth every penny -- and this is coming from a self-proclaimed cheapskate. The marketing on this product misleads people to think that this moisturizer is formulated just for men but it is amazing for women as well.
Kiss My Face Olive & Aloe Moisturizer
Dries fast and without any lingering olive oil scent. If you have combination skin (like me), then I would suggest using this moisturizer. You can even double it as a great face lotion for night if you are looking for a formula that is rich but not too heavy.
The Body Shop Tea Tree Skin Mattifying Lotion
Great to use under liquid makeup, especially in the summer. Slight hint of tea tree oil that is refreshing after initial application. It also makes you feel that as if it is truly clearing up your acne while also hydrating your skin.
