Skin Prep Before Any Makeup Application
Good makeup application starts before a single product touches the face.
✓Why Prep Matters
- Cleansing removes oil and residue that can affect how products wear
- Moisturizer creates a smoother base and prevents makeup from looking patchy or emphasizing dry areas
- Primer helps makeup last longer and can address specific concerns like large pores or uneven tone
✓A Simple Prep Routine
- Cleanse (or have the client cleanse beforehand)
- Apply a moisturizer suited to the client's skin type
- Apply a primer suited to the client's needs and the finish they want
Skipping prep to save time is one of the most common reasons makeup doesn't last through a long event.
