Preparing your skin before applying makeup is an essential step for achieving flawless makeup looks. Considering that even factors like the product you choose as your base and the way you apply it could affect the way your makeup looks, choosing the right products might be more important than we think to achieve professional looks that last throughout the day.
Skin Health and Makeup: Finding the Balance
The health of your skin is a vital factor in how your makeup looks on your skin. A well-established skincare routine not only helps ensure that your skin is smooth and hydrated but also makes it easier for makeup to apply evenly and blend flawlessly. For example, if your skin is dehydrated or lacking in moisture, cream products can look uneven and settle into fine lines and wrinkles.
Skin conditions such as acne, dryness, or excessive oil production can affect the quality of your makeup. For instance, fine lines may affect how makeup appears since products can fill in wrinkles and create a cracked effect.
Last but not least, even your skin type has a say in the way makeup products look on your face. People with oily skin may experience makeup breakdown over the day, leading to a less polished look. On the other hand, dry skin can cause makeup to flake off and appear dull. Following a good skincare routine and preparing your skin before applying makeup could help you tackle such problems and help you achieve the best results.
Essential Steps for Skin Preparation
Proper skin care and hydration are key to achieving polished and long-lasting makeup looks, as well as maintaining healthy, youthful-looking skin. It's important to choose quality skin care products with high-quality ingredients to address underlying skin concerns and promote skin health, longevity, and appearance. Here is a list of essential steps that you should follow to prepare your skin for makeup:
Cleanse your skin
Before starting your makeup routine, it’s important to make sure that your face is cleansed thoroughly. Cleansing your face provides a clean base for other skincare products by removing impurities, excess oil, and any residue from your skin. Use a gentle cleanser suitable for your skin type, apply it to wet skin, massage gently in circular motions, and rinse it off with water.
Apply a toner
Toner helps restore your skin's pH balance and refine pores. It removes any residual impurities that are left after cleansing. Apply toner to a cotton pad and gently swipe it over your face, or you can also pat it directly onto your skin using your hands.
Benefit from the power of face serum
The concentrated formula and active ingredients of serums are great for addressing specific skin conditions such as dehydration, dark spots, and fine lines. If you are to use a face serum or treatment, apply it after a toner.
Don’t forget to moisturize
Apply a moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated and provide a smooth base for makeup application. It is important to choose a moisturizer that is suitable for your skin type. Apply it all over your face and neck in upward stroking motions.
Sun protection is a must
Sun protection is crucial to protect your skin from harmful UV rays that cause premature aging and sun damage. So, if your moisturizer or primer doesn't contain SPF, apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen before starting to put on any makeup. Apply sun protection generously to all exposed areas of the skin and let it absorb fully before proceeding with makeup application.
