Face Mapping Your Makeup Routine
Your face is unique to you, so why should your makeup routine and application match someone else’s perfectly? It shouldn’t. Myricks calls it face mapping. “The way you design your makeup, and your coverage should be specific to your face and its individual needs,” she said. “It’s not this generic blanket. I think that’s what really creates the frustration.”
The first step to mapping out your face is to manage your texture and skin type. Then, figure out what you want, and answer some questions: “What are some of the challenges? Can you explain your own face? What are some of the things that happen during the day? Do you find that your nose is sweaty, or do you have oiliness throughout your cheeks, but the rest of the face is dry?”
Once you have those specific details settled, you have to figure out what finish and coverage you want. Then, build your products. “I want people to like look at themselves. Just focus on you. This is all about you. What do you want? What are your desires for your face today? And let’s work from there,” Myricks told E! News.
Without realizing it, I’ve been doing this as I’ve been reinventing my makeup routine and collection. Below are some products that have worked for me and my extremely dry skin.
