Why this worksFlawless makeup relies on a solid skincare foundation. Proper cleansing, moisturising, and nourishing help create a smooth canvas, ensuring makeup applies evenly and lasts longer. By prepping your skin, you enhance its texture and radiance, making your look put-together and fresh.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Start with a Cleanser Use a gentle cleanser to remove dirt and impurities. This sets the stage for your skincare products to work effectively.
  2. Exfoliate for Smoothness Gently exfoliate to slough off dead skin cells. This step helps to reveal fresh skin and improve makeup application.
  3. Hydrate with Moisturiser Apply a hydrating moisturiser to lock in moisture. Choose one that suits your skin type for optimum results.
  4. Prime for Perfection Use a makeup primer to create a smooth base. This helps your makeup adhere better and extends its wear throughout the day.

Where people go wrong

Many people skip exfoliation, which can lead to a rough texture. Others apply products too quickly without letting each layer absorb properly. Overloading on moisturiser can also cause makeup to slide off rather than set.

The pro moveConsider using a hydrating mist between layers for extra moisture and glow.
