The path to a flawless makeup base starts with the foundation of all beauty – your skin. The transformative power of skincare when it comes to achieving a radiant makeup look is miraculous. To ensure your skin is at its best, it is important to start with the basics: cleanse, moisturize, and protect. Healthy, well-cared-for skin is the ultimate foundation for makeup, ensuring you not only look stunning but also feel confident in your skin's natural beauty.

In this regard, Dr. Chytra V Anand, who is a Dermatologist & Founder of SkinQ said, "Preparing your skin before applying foundation can help you achieve a flawless makeup look. It is also an important aspect of ensuring that your skin remains healthy and retains its glow. Additionally, allow your skincare products to absorb fully before applying foundation. This ensures that your makeup does not slide off or mix with your skincare products."

Tips To Get A Healthy Makeup Base:

 

Dr. Navnit Haror, who is the Chief Dermatologist, and Cosmetic and Hair Transplant Surgeon listed down the following:

• A gentle cleanser, tailored to your skin type, rids your face of impurities and preps it for makeup application.
• Moisturizing with a hydrating & natural product keeps your skin supple and prevents makeup from settling into fine lines.
• Don't forget the sunscreen – it's the ultimate shield against UV damage and premature aging.
• Exfoliation is key to maintain a smooth texture; incorporate it into your routine but be gentle to avoid irritation.
• Healthy skin isn't built overnight. Consistency is your ally; stick to a routine that suits your skin type and concerns.
• Lastly, never underestimate the importance of hydration, both inside and out. Consuming an adequate amount of water and incorporating hydrating serums into your routine can work wonders for your skin's luminosity and overall vitality.

Anchal Malhotra Chadha, who is a Beauty Expert and Director of Milap Cosmetics said, "Flawless foundation application is all about enhancing your natural beauty. As someone deeply immersed in the world of beauty, I've made it my mission to help individuals look and feel their best."

To achieve that coveted radiant complexion, here are some fundamental tips and techniques shared by her:

1. Start with the essentials by selecting the right shade of foundation that seamlessly blends with your skin tone. Always ensure to test it in natural light for that impeccable match. 

2. Prepare your skin before applying foundation, make sure your skin is properly cleansed, moisturized, and primed. A well-hydrated and primed canvas ensures a smoother application and extends the longevity of your makeup.

3. Don't overdo it with foundation. Begin with a small amount and build coverage gradually. This approach avoids that cakey appearance we all want to avoid.

4. Blend like a pro whether you use a makeup sponge, brush, or your fingertips, ensure even blending. Pay special attention to your jawline and neck to avoid noticeable lines.

5. Set it right by sealing your foundation with a light dusting of setting powder. This step locks your foundation in place and keeps shine under control throughout the day. Always remember that makeup should enhance your natural beauty, not mask it. 

Mr. Dheeraj Bansal, who is the Founder of Recode Studios added, "Test out different brushes and techniques to find out what works for you. Make sure to blend your makeup into your jaw and neck to get a nice, even look. And don't forget to practice your skills so you can get a flawless, natural foundation look. After all, practice makes perfect!"
