Prepare Your Face For Makeup

Prepare

Cleanse Your Face

•  Starting with a clean face helps makeup go on better.
•   Pick a gentle cleanser that works for your skin type.
•  Wet your face and then put a small amount of cleanser on it.
•   Use your fingers to gently rub the cleanser in small circles on your face.
•   Then, rinse it off with lukewarm water.

Use Toner (Optional)

•   A toner helps balance the skin and prepare it for other products.
•   Choose a toner that fits what your skin needs, like one that is hydrating, soothing, or makes your skin less shiny.
•  You can use a cotton pad to apply the toner or pat it in with your hands.

Moisturize Your Face

•   Keeping your skin hydrated helps your makeup look smoother.
•   Pick a moisturizer that is light and doesn't make your skin greasy.
•  Place it on your face and neck. Rub it in so it gets absorbed by your skin.
•  Wait a few minutes before going to the next step.

Apply Eye Cream

•   The skin around your eyes needs extra care because it's sensitive.
•   Use a small amount of eye cream and gently tap it around the bony area around your eyes.
•   This helps to keep the site hydrated and can make fine lines and puffiness less noticeable.

Put On Primer

•  A primer makes a smooth layer for your makeup and can make it last longer.
•   Choose a primer that fixes skin problems you care about, like hiding pores, correcting color, or adding moisture.
•   Apply a thin layer to your whole face or parts where you need it more, like your forehead, nose, and chin (T-zone).

Don’t Skip Sunscreen

•   Sunscreen protects your skin from sun damage.
•  If your moisturizer doesn't have sunscreen, use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30.
•  Apply it to your face and neck. Ensure to place it on generously.

Get Your Lips Ready

•  Your lips also need to be smooth and hydrated for lip products.
•   Use a lip balm to make your lips feel soft.
•  This helps, especially if you plan to use lipstick or lip gloss later.

Wait a Bit

•   Giving your skincare products time to sink in ensures they work their best.
•   After you've put on all these products, wait a few minutes.
•   This helps absorb everything into your skin so it's ready for makeup.

By following these steps, you’re not putting makeup on; you’re making sure your skin is at its best, so your makeup will be too. Remember, great skin helps make great makeup. So, take a little time to prep your face, and your makeup will look amazing.
