Ok, so I thought I had seen every type of skin texture and knew how to handle them all.  Well, so I had thought, and then I came across a face with skin I can only describe as Alligator Skin.  The skin was dry, with almost an eczema type texture across the whole face.  It negated all my usual techniques and I was at a loss.  I had no choice but to call my mentor and ask for help.  I hadn’t encountered it before and I prayed that perhaps she had the remedy.  Thank God, she did!  So even after years of doing makeup, I can still be surprised and need a little help.  So, here’s the recipe for Alligator Skin so you don’t have to be surprised yourself!

1. Preparation H full face

2. Let sit for ten to fifteen minutes

3. Exfoliate and Buff Preparation H off with a Wash Cloth over entire face – You can use a Baby Wipe in a Pinch

4. Spray witch hazel or toners over entire face to close and tighten pores and remove Preparation H Residue

5. Apply moisturizer – let sit 5mins

6. Apply Primer – let sit 5mins

7. Apply liquid foundation with a stippling brush in very light circular motions

8. Do NOT apply any powder

9. Spray entire face with MAC Fix+ Spray

10. Spray with the PPI Blue Marble Selr
