How to Prepare Your Skin for Flawless Makeup Application

Prepping the skin is so important before applying makeup. Have you ever tried putting foundation or concealer on skin that is dry, peeling, or simply lacks moisture? If you have, you understand why: Your skin just won’t accept the makeup. It's super helpful to have a makeup game plan for when your epidermis is in a state of distress.

Here are some helpful tips to prep the skin before makeup application:

Smooth things out! Exfoliating will remove dead skin and help even out the texture!

Layer up! Apply moisturizer, facial oils/serums, or whatever works best for you skin! Make sure your skin has a slight tackiness before you apply your foundation. This will help the makeup adhere to the skin and last longer! 

Base! Apply the correct base for your skin. If your skin is feeling as dry as the Sahara desert, I wouldn’t recommend your matte foundation! 

Set! Lastly, apply a few spritz of your favorite setting spray. This will help melt the makeup into your skin and give you a flawless finish!
