You’ve mastered using your foundation brush, and you’re pretty sure you have face makeup application in general down pat, but are you prepping your skin for it?
When you’re ready to get glam for a night on the town or need to freshen up your face before heading to work, you shouldn’t just make a beeline straight for your makeup bag.
As with most things in life, you need to prepare first. If you skip out on your skin care routine before applying it, you could end up with uneven, patchy coverage that wears off way too soon.
MAKEUP PREP STEP 1: START WITH CLEAN SKIN
The first step in your skin care routine should be cleansing to remove all the dirt, oil, and impurities from the surface of your skin. Pick a gentle facial cleanser, such as a micellar water, which is powered by tiny micelle molecules in water that cluster together to surround and lift away impurities and makeup without rinsing or rubbing.
Of course, it’s also important to take your skin type and concerns into consideration when picking a cleanser.
If you want to go with a micellar water, have your pick from the following three: The L’Oréal Paris Micellar Cleansing Water Complete Cleanser for Normal to Dry Skin hydrates and soothes, the L’Oréal Paris Micellar Cleansing Water Complete Cleanser for Normal to Oily Skin purifies and mattifies, and the L’Oréal Paris Micellar Cleansing Water Complete Cleanser Waterproof – All Skin Types intensely purifies.
To use any of the above, all you have to do is saturate a cotton pad with your micellar water match, then wipe the pad across your face until your skin is completely clean.
