Full Coverage Makeup Products an Editor Uses to Cover Up Her Eczema

I’ve been suffering from eczema since I was a child and it’s chronic. This, mixed with the fact that I have combination skin, makes finding makeup products difficult. I like full-coverage makeup that conceals any rough patches as well as hydrating formulas that keep my skin healthy and nourished. While it’s important to consult your dermatologist about exactly what kinds of makeup formulas you can wear if you have eczema, I’ve rounded up seven of my personal favorites here.

1 / 7

Dermablend Continuous Correction CC Cream SPF 50+

CC creams have become my savior after living with eczema for so long. They work to color correct, keep my skin looking even and are extremely hydrating. This formula from Dermablend is my favorite because it’s lightweight and breathable on the skin but gives me the coverage I like.

NYX Professional Makeup Bare With Me Concealer Serum

I also like to opt for a super moisturizing concealer with good-for-your-skin ingredients when my eczema is acting up. Enter: this concealer-serum formula that’s full of tremella mushroom, cica and green tea to keep redness at bay

3 / 7

YSL Beauty Nu Glow in Balm

I want my makeup to look glowy and radiant, but not overly shiny. This glow-in-balm formula does just the trick. I like to apply it under my makeup to keep my dry patches looking, well, non-existent.

4 / 7

Urban Decay Vice Lipstick

I like my matte lipstick just as much as the next beauty lover, but I also like to opt for a formula that’s a little more hydrating. The Vice Lipsticks hit the nail on the head because they leave behind a powdery matte finish that isn’t cakey or drying on the lips — particularly useful if I get any dryness near my mouth.

Tower 28 BeachPlease Luminous Tinted Balm

For a tinted balm that works on my cheeks and lip, this one is my go-to. It comes in seven buildable shades andis super hydrating to the touch. It’s also vegan, silicone- and cruelty-free and follows the National Eczema Association’s ingredient guidelines.

6 / 7

RMS Cream Eye Polish

A soft, hydrating cream eyeshadow is a must-have for dry or flaky skin. This eye polish is formulated with natural pigments and has an oil-base that helps soothe the delicate eye area. It comes in eight shades and is super easy to swipe on for quick application.

Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray

Setting sprays can sometimes irritate my eczema, so I like to opt for one that’s hypoallergenic when flare-ups happen. This one is extremely hydrating, cooling and does a great job of keeping my makeup refreshed. Plus, it’s approved by the National Eczema Association.
