I wanted to be a make up artist but I have butter fingers :(

I don't think sweaty hands is a problem in applying makeup. I have sweaty hands too but I use tools in applying makeup like makeup brushes, sponges and other stuff to apply make up, not with hands, so it doesn't matter if my hands get sweaty. Do you only apply makeup with your hands?

Hi Mrsroxas Have you checked your condtion to a doctor? Well, some people link sweaty hands with cardiomyopathy (heart failure), especially if you have had it since childhood and you have bent pinkies. But some expert said that sweaty hands(hiperhidrosis) which isn't followed by sweaty body , cough, beating heart flutter and pain chest isn't a manifestation of heart failur nor lungs disease. The common etiology of sweaty hands are emotional effect (stres, nervous agitation) and drinking alchohol. So, this is the tips that I've read , who knows these would help? 1. Don't drink alchohol, and reduce drinking tea also coffee 2. Take 2 spoons of honey and mix it with a warmm cup of water, drink it twice a day 3. Manage emotional situation, it is also have an enough sleep 4. After washing hands, give them talcum powder for baby. Those also help you from dehydration . I hope you could be better soon

You know, I have the same situation like you since I was a child until my college days but it has been reduced now. You're right that when it's dry, it's really dry. I experienced during college, while making conclusion for laboratory report, we have to write down on the whole page and my hands were so annoying that the sweat is dripping on the paper. I tried treating it the old way like washing your hands with your first urine early in the morning. I don't what's with it but I tried it. And I think using hand moisturizers will help because it will regulate the hands moisture level. Better yet, consult a doctor for good results.

dont worry,never ever get nervous and keep practicing and one fine day you can be a quality and genuine make up artist with class.its all about perseverance

Excessive sweating is hyperhidrosis. Here are 2 links that may be helpful to you. www.earthclinic.com/CURES/sweat.html#MAGNESIUM_17829 and www.ehow.com/way_5460019_apple-cider-vinegar-cure-hyperhidrosis.html In one site they suggested using an anti-perspirant but I don't think that's a good idea because many deodorants contain aluminum which is really bad for you. And they also contain other chemicals that I don't think you want on your hands. Hope these sites help.

You can try to soak your hands in a lukewarm with salt. I hope it can help.

Hi, Mrsroxas! It is really hard to achieve a certain goal in life if there are hindrances along the way. In your case, too much sweating on your palms are you problem. Hyperhidrosis can be treated with either ointments or oral anticholinergic medications. Do consult a doctor so that they assess on what should be done to your problem.

Well i would like to recommend you to consult a good doctor who can provide a better solution to your problem. Other than that you can use hand gloves to cover your hand while doing the make up. That wont affect any one. What say?
