Women have used cosmetics for many years in order to look and feel younger and more attractive. However if your skin is sensitive it can become an expensive challenge of trial. Human skin becomes more sensitive with age. Here are a few make up tips which are especially useful for women with sensitive skin: 

Use powder when possible
Powder cosmetics is very useful because it can help you get rid of shine and it contains less preservatives and ingredients whih can cause irritation. Powder cosmetics is more recommended for women with sensitive skin than the liquid make up products. 

Never use waterproof cosmetics
Of course, waterproof cosmetics are very useful especially for tearful moments but this type of make up requires a solvent to be removed. A solvent together with make up removes sebum, the oily substance which is created by the sebaceous glands in the skin. If the sensitive skin loses this oily barrier the skin can become exposed to potential irritants which can then result in breakout.

Don't apply old cosmetics
All women habitually keep their make up until it's gone an don't pay much atttention to the expiration date of this cosmetic product. But it is very important to know the cosmetic expiration dates and get rid of any items which have already passed their peak. If the make up product is too old it can become soiled or contaminated which is especially dangerous when it comes to eye cosmetics.

Here are a few life spans of standart products:
one year for foundation and lipstick;
three-to-four months for mascara;
two years for powder and shadows.

You should also wash your make up brushes and sponges frequently because they can absorb dirt and germs which can aggravate sensitive skin.
