It's All About That Base..!
Creating a flawless makeup look all comes down to looking after your skin first!
Have a night time/morning routine that you stick to, in order to keep your skin hydrated and clean, giving it that natural glow.
Personally, I have a night time routine as it gets too hot during the day and I don't like the feeling of wearing moisturizer when it's hot! Here's my routine, but you can adjust yours to suit you and the climate you live in/your lifestyle.
Before you shower, remove your makeup. This doesn't have to be done thoroughly all over, but eye makeup should be removed properly.
While in the shower, using a cleanser suited to your skin type, wash your face.
Once you've finished your shower, apply a moisturizer before heading to bed. My face always feels a tad dry once I've showered so this is another reason I choose to moisturizer at night before bed.
Before applying makeup in the morning, be sure to add a primer to your skin. This will ensure your makeup stays in tact for longer, and it doubles as a moisturizer too! Please note - if you choose to moisturize in the morning, do not add a primer as well. It's too much for your skin and your makeup will not hold.
And most importantly, drink plenty of water! Water keeps your skin hydrated and glowing, thus helping reduce those dreaded wrinkles.
If you have particularly dry skin, you may like to add a face scrub into your routine once a week.
