Sensitive Skin Essentials

Whether the issue facing your face happens to be redness, acne, or an allergic reaction, sensitive skin poses quite the conundrum. And more often than not, slathering on product to calm the storm does more harm than good. For aid in selecting the right concoctions to soothe, rather than further inflame, your skin, VIOLET GREY turned to makeup artist Georgie Eisdell, who tends to the picture-perfect visages of English roses Carey Mulligan and Rosamund Pike. Eisdell notes that dealing with delicate skin is all in the groundwork. “You want to have your skin prepped for the right makeup,” she advises. “You don’t want to be looking for makeup to counteract what’s going on with your skin.” Below, her choice serums, creams, masks, and oils to help heal beleaguered complexions.
