5 Makeup Tips For Women With Sensitive, Acne Skin  

1. Look for most basic and pure products and work up from there.

Use less makeup products on sensitive, acne prone skin that tend to break out.

2. Avoid thick layers of foundation.

Heavy layers of foundations feel like a "mask" on sensitive, acne prone skin. That "mask feeling" effect is from synthetic silicones. Silicones are used to "smooth" on foundations, but also the cause acne skin condition gets worse. Avoid silicone in foundation.  

3. Never use foundation with talc.

Talc blocks pores and skin feels like it can’t breathe. Talc feels like “polyfilla” on skin and why skin breaks out. Talc is a cheap filler ingredient, used in both face powders and fluid/ solid foundations.

4. Use gentle makeup products.

Use makeup products with no fragrance, no artificial colours. Avoid metallic pigments. It's those that cause feelings of skin burn, itchiness and redness.

5. Use gentle skincare products.

Women with oily skin tend to “over cleanse” face with too many skincare products. When you use too harsh skincare products, like chemical exfoliators, you strip the natural oils from the face. Skin gets red and flaky and doesn’t hold makeup very well. A simple routine is better.   

The best makeup for acne skin: 

Is there a woman who hasn't covered her face with too much makeup?

The whole idea behind ORGANIC M.A.K.E is less makeup is better for you and the environment.  Women shouldn’t have to be slaves to dozens of different makeup products—especially women with sensitive, acne prone skin.

A woman once said to me "Never been a fan of foundation because it feels thick, heavy and cloggy and when I touch my face it smudges off." You should be able to simplify your makeup routine, and pare down to just a few items that allow you to look your best, without clogging pores.

That’s why founder, Charlotte Fnug, created ORGANIC M.A.K.E a line of all-in-one powder foundations—known as “Powder Wonder”—that can easily replace everything in your makeup bag. The all-in-one powder comes in three different shades, yet covers most skin colours.  

Who doesn’t like a face powder that feels as light as a feather and depending how you feel, you put on a thin layer or keep building up the colour, until you are happy with the soft light finish.

Change the World for the better!

ORGANIC M.A.K.E is the sound of a revolution in cosmetics. We don't want to add new products all the time like the other cosmetic companies, we'd rather use less products, but right ones.

While other skincare and makeup companies want to sell you too many products for the  “sake” of selling, ORGANIC M.A.K.E is the only company that inspires you not to hide behind a thick layer of foundation. And we are not the only ones who think less makeup is beautiful. 

According to American Academy of Dermatology “even women who would not otherwise have acne can develop acne cosmetica from wearing makeup.”

ORGANIC M.A.K.E Powder Wonders come in identical grey pots that fit in the palm of your hand. They are exclusively sold on our website.

Powder Wonder is a lovely a light powder foundation which gives good coverage, yet feels like you wear no makeup at all.  Skin looks fresh, glowy and breathes even if you just put on a thin layer. Skin is covered perfectly the whole day.

Applies with the softest Kabuki Brush ever.

Leaves no powdery look, even on textured skin.

Choose the right colour: ( We've done 3 colours, to make it easy for you).

MEDIUM Powder Wonder is our BEST SELLER. Suits most skin tones. For skin tones that's slightly tanned.  Bekki in video above uses MEDIUM. Michelle in picture above wears MEDIUM. Charlotte below, founder, wears MEDIUM. 

DARK Powder Wonder. Suits olive skin tones, skin with warmer undertones, or skin with a suntan. During summer this is best colour. For skin with red pigments, skin that's of mixed race or skin that's naturally dark. 

LIGHT Powder Wonder. For very pale or quite fair skin. Best during winter months. Best for blue-eyed, blonde fair types.

Powder Wonder adapts naturally to your own skin colour. You'll never get that yellow gap line, you get from traditional foundation.

Our founder, Charlotte Fnug, created ORGANIC M.A.K.E makeup line. As a beauty industry insider for 27 years, Charlotte has unique insight into exactly how to bring out every woman’s natural beauty, even if skin is fussy sensitive, acne prone. Charlotte says: “Having skin, that looks fresh and glowy, rather than too made up, is the key.”

“The biggest makeup mistake that women with sensitive, acne prone skin make is wearing too heavy foundation,” Charlotte says. “Fussy sensitiv skin that is prone to breakouts, doesn't accept anything chemical. Makeup shouldn't feel thick and cloggy like you can't touch your face. Rather it should feel light, as if you wear no makeup." says Charlotte and continues "I do think as I get older less is defintely more in the makeup department.”

Long before Charlotte founded ORGANIC M.A.K.E, she had two very successful careers – first as head of North Europe biggest beauty store, and then international sales manager for a well-known global beauty brand. 

Charlotte began her 27-year beauty career on the shop floor in the beauty department at the leading department store, Magasin in Copenhagen, Denmark. It was there she learned about women makeup issues and there she pioneered the first “natural look” for women – which would later become the inspiration for 100% natural ORGANIC M.A.K.E makeup. 

Now 56, Charlotte does not dye her hair. "I love how my grey hair is coming," Charlotte says...These days it's more about being natural, having fun and feeling good in what I do, than the latest makeup craze you see on social. Charlotte wanted to create the exact makeup she would want in her own makeup bag.

As a sensitive skin person with breakouts, she wanted to design a line of makeup, that wasn't about hiding behind a thick mask of makeup, but was about revealing a woman's natural beauty at every age. We are proud to say: she succeeded. The overall effect is a glowy natural look that’s ideal on every woman.

Imagine people come up to you and say “How lucky you are...your skin looks great!”, not realising you have a full face of foundation on. That’s how natural Powder Wonder looks.
