Prepare the skin well
Those who usually put on makeup to go out certainly don’t do it before dedicating themselves to minimal or basic beauty care, which is applying moisturizer, primer and foundation before applying makeup, right?

Yes, but that’s not what professional makeup artists do. Generally, they take around 20 to 30 minutes just to prepare the skin and then apply makeup, which only takes two minutes.
So, the fact is that the skin must always be very well prepared beforehand because if it is dehydrated, believe me, it can suck all the moisture from the foundation, leaving the look fake.
The tip is to apply the serum and moisturizer using circular movements to activate blood circulation and leave the skin shiny and then wait a few minutes between layers of cosmetics so that the products can penetrate and fix well on the skin.

Mix formulas
Renowned makeup artists recommend mixing two types of formulas, for example, using a water-based product on the T-zone of the face and a silicone product on other areas of the face.
This is because, in fact, many people with oily skin have combination skin, so if you apply the matte formula on a dry part, the product will strip away hydration and leave a cracked look, which no one deserves.

Before applying foundation, cover up blemishes
Before applying the foundation, the tip is to disguise blemishes and dark circles so that it is not necessary to use another layer of the product so that the look does not look artificial.
Therefore, use concealer to correct imperfections and only then apply foundation.

Exaggerated? Remove!
