Learn how to prepare your skin for makeup

One of the most important parts of makeup is skin preparation. Proper preparation of the skin to receive makeup makes the makeup last longer and the skin is well protected and hydrated, to suffer less from the action of makeup products. Follow all the steps and enjoy your even more beautiful makeup:

1 ? Remove impurities

If you are wearing make-up, first apply the make-up remover and then thoroughly wash your face with a deep cleansing soap. If you have no makeup, just use the soap. Wash and rinse your face thoroughly to make sure you get rid of all impurities.

2 ? Tone your skin

After cleansing the skin, apply an astringent or not facial tonic, depending on your skin type. The tonic helps close the pores, giving your skin a younger and healthier look. In addition, the tonic helps with the recovery of some vitamins that the skin loses over time and keeps the skin away from oil for longer.


3? Moisturize your skin before applying makeup

The next step from skin preparation to makeup is hydration. Moisturizing is meant to return to the skin the water lost during the day. Hydrated skin keeps makeup beautiful longer and keeps it from cracking. Moisturizing before makeup is essential so that the skin is not harmed by makeup.

The moisturizer can be applied with the fingers in small circular motions to activate the circulation of blood in the face. Those with oily or mixed skin should opt for a moisturizing gel or lotion, while women with dry skin should use moisturizing creams.

4? Use primer to ensure better results.

The primer closes the pores further and holds the makeup on your face. Another benefit of using the primer is that it controls the greasiness and texture of the skin so that makeup does not drip or smudge during the day. The primer has versions for the face, mouth and makeup around the eyes. It is a great ally for those who need to make up for many hours.


5? Contour, blush and illuminator

After preparing the skin for makeup, the next step is to apply foundation and finalize skin with contour (optional), blush and illuminator (optional). These features help shape the shape of your face and are essential in party makeup or for evening events. Blogger Camila Coelho explains in the following video how to contour and how to apply blush and illuminator before proceeding with eye and mouth makeup:

Now just take advantage of these tips and make your skin look even more beautiful, healthy and well-groomed, preparing it the right way before makeup for any occasion.
