Thanks a lot! I was SHOCKED to see your message because my skin is nowhere near perfect. I always say/think i have bad skin, and I'm not being humble. I have really really dry sensitive skin. So when i use more moisturizing creams, i break out or i am sensitive to it. I always always test out new moisturizers or primers or anything i put on my face first. I'll apply it to my jaw line and go through my normal routine. Then i can see if that product's okay to use. I also have pigmentation, freckles etc, I'm guessing because i have darker skin?

But if you'd like, I can tell you what i use. To remove my makeup, i use a makeup remover oil, my favorite one is Fancl House Cleansing Oil. Oil actually breaks down makeup better and it doesn't hurt my sensitive skin. It's a Japanese brand, if you can't find it near you, there are always similar alternatives out there. I then use Philosophy Purity Made Simple Cleanser with my Clarisonic Cleansing brush. I then use Mario Badescu Special Cucumber Lotion to tone my skin followed my Philosophy Hope is Not Enough (For all Skin type) moisturizer. My secret weapon for pimple is my Mario Badescu Drying lotion and Drying Cream. Since you have sensitive and dry skin, i'll really test it out somewhere else before i use it. I really don't have perfect skin, in fact i have a lot of skin problem. I switch to mineral makeup and i find that it helps me. You can read my reviews on the products i use, they're on my profile/reviews.

As for my makeup. I'm just really interested in it. I just practice a lot, on myself and other people. I still have so much more to learn. There are so resources out there such as ChickAdvisor, blogs, youtube, books etc. They all help but i still practice is the best way to go. Let me know if you have any other questions, i'll be happy to help. I hope i answered some of your questions : )
