Tips To Prep Your Face Before Applying Makeup
The three most important basic steps to prep your skin prior to the application of makeup are cleansing, exfoliating and moisturizing.
After this, here are some steps to follow before applying makeup for a flawless festival look.
A brightening face wash will help clean away all impurities and aid in providing a natural glow as a base.
A hydrating serum with Hyaluronic acid ensures to keep the skin oil-free. This allows easy application of makeup.
An alternative to a Hydrating Serum, a brightening serum would effectively minimize the appearance of spots, thus revealing an even skin tone.
A moisturiser’s primary role is to seal in the skin’s moisture. Additionally, it also keeps the skin calm under the application of makeup.
A primer helps to smoothen out the skin by filling in any crease or large pores. It prevents the moisturizer and skin oil balance from mixing with the makeup. However, if you start to apply a primer without cleansing or moisturizing your face, your makeup may end up looking patchy.
Dry lips can cause your lipstick to look flaky and over a longer period, peel off. Therefore, ensure to provide a hydrated, smooth base to your lips with a brightening lip balm.
The importance of sunscreen could not be overstated. The combination of the UV rays with the makeup could hamper your skin health. Therefore, wear sunscreen over your makeup to maintain an even look.
