✨ The secret to flawless makeup? Healthy, well-cared-for skin

A beautiful makeup look always begins with skincare. Clean, hydrated, and exfoliated skin creates a smoother and longer-lasting base.

Key skincare steps before makeup:

  1. Cleansing: Removes makeup, sweat, pollution and dirt – especially important at night before bed.
  2. Exfoliation: Brightens and smooths skin by removing dead cells – do it 1–2 times a week depending on your skin type.
  3. Moisturizing: Helps maintain the skin’s hydration and gives makeup a natural finish. Choose a moisturizer suitable for your skin type. Apply before makeup to create a soft, even surface.

πŸ•“ Wait a few minutes before applying makeup to let the moisturizer absorb.

  1. Sunscreen: Protects your skin all year round. Makeup may add protection, but it doesn’t replace sunscreen.

πŸ’‘ Pro tip: Don’t forget to exfoliate and moisturize your lips – it helps lip products apply more evenly.
