skin preparation for makeup is a must; any useful tips?

 

 

You can apply beautiful makeup if you take care of your skin. We regularly ignore the importance of properly preparing your face for makeup to attain the "perfect look." This includes defined cheekbones, flawless skin, bright eyes, and hydrated lips. Here are the most important simple steps for preparing your face for makeup that will help you in your makeup for both special occasions and everyday looks.

How to prepare your face for makeup?

      1.     Cleanser

Wash your face with lukewarm water. Use a gentle cleanser to even out your skin tone. This will make your skin smoother.

How to choose the best cleanser?

The first step in preparing your face for makeup is choosing the right cleanser. If you have sensitive skin, avoid cleansers that contain glycolic acid because they can cause redness and irritation. Look for a product that is gentle enough to help you achieve your dream look while preparing your skin to receive a radiant glow.

Also, look for a cleanser that is pH balanced. The natural PH level of your skin should be between 5 and 6. The lower the pH, the more acidic the solution. Unless you have serious skin problems, it is best to find a cleanser that matches your skin's pH. If your skin is prone to acne, choose a slightly more acidic cleanser because it will help your skin fight bacteria.

2. Exfoliating

Do you want your makeup to be in pastel colors? Eliminate the main cause of this cosmetic disaster: dead skin cells! Exfoliation reveals new, smooth skin underneath.

How do you choose the best exfoliator?

Look for a gentle, daily exfoliator with small, round grains. Rough, uneven ingredients can irritate your skin and make it too dry. Rinse your face thoroughly with lukewarm water so your makeup isn't too thick when you apply it. DON'T FORGET TO EXFOLIATE THE SKIN ON YOUR NECK!

    3. Toner or serum

After thoroughly exfoliating the epidermis, apply toner or serum and wait a few seconds for it to dry. Toner is suitable for people with very oily skin, while serum is suitable for people with dry skin as it moisturizes the face. This is an important step that we often skip.

How to choose the best serum?

Choose a serum with the following ingredients.

o Vitamin C, which soothes the skin.

o Sodium hyaluronate to keep the skin hydrated.

o Herbs to hydrate the skin and slow down the aging process.

     4.     Eye  cream

Did you think that this step is not important? Then think again, because this step comes before the moisturizer. The eye cream, like the serum, should be subtle. It moisturizes and evens out the skin tone around the eyes, making it look more awake. The skin around the eyes is thin and sensitive. So make sure you apply your eye cream properly to even out the skin tone.

   5. Moisturizer

This is important if your skin is oily or dry. To avoid a greasy base, use a light moisturizer before applying makeup.

Use a moisturizer that is suitable for your skin type and hydrates throughout the day. One method is to press the moisturizer into your skin instead of rubbing it in. 

This allows the solution to penetrate deep into the skin and stimulate the skin cells.

How to choose the best moisturizer?

If you have acne-prone or irritation-prone skin, look for a moisturizer that is non-comedogenic and oil-free. If you have dry skin, look for a thicker cream that you can apply throughout the day. A thicker cream will also give you a dewy effect when you get out of the shower.

    6. Primer

Primer acts as a barrier to keep moisturizer and essential oils from interacting with your makeup. Primer provides the foundation for a flawless makeup look. Primer also acts as a barrier, filling in skin creases and preventing makeup from hardening.

How do you choose the right makeup product?

Look for a primer whose main ingredient is silicone as final preparation for applying makeup. It fills in unsightly creases in the skin and makes it perfectly smooth and ready for makeup application.

If you have acne-prone skin, a light green primer can help reduce redness.

Now that you've properly prepped your face for makeup, apply foundation and any other products you plan to use on perfectly clean skin. If you have prepared your skin well, makeup is easier to apply and your face looks more radiant.

Important advice:

•          Moving away from the principle of the greater quantity the better

At all, it's not appropriate to fire me the more tuner you add, the smaller your skin pores become, and not the more serum you put in, the brighter your skin becomes.

 

So you have to distribute a few drops of most of the lotion, make sure the skin massages are good, and if more is needed, a few more drops are applied, and not the amount is increased at once.

 

•          Nice skin peeling 3 times a week

Can you imagine the appearance of skin when base cream is applied to it with a lot of impurities and damaged cells and peeling? It's a closer look to being a base cream on a cake mold and you can imagine what makeup looks like in the end.

 

Peeling from steps that cannot be ignored:

 

You can rely on the skin peel that's available in pharmacies or skincare centers that have small soles.

You can also rely on the water with salt or cool yogurt with salt or with sugar.

The skin should be peeled 2-3 times a week.

 

•          Pass the ice cubes on your skin

We all know that moment after the base cream has been applied, and if the skin's appearance is not expected, it's really still redness and irritation, and the pores are still very clear, in short, in such a situation, you'd want to remove the base cream.

 

But the truth is, your skin needs to calm down after all the cleaning and peeling steps you've been through on the one hand and after all the oils and sweats released on the other, but how?

 

It's one thing that ensures that it eases her irritation and redness and is considered effective at catching pores, clogging the skin, and treating the pills, you just have to pass the ice cubes, and you can increase effectiveness by freezing the rose water.

 

•          Choosing the right cosmetics

Using dry skin preparations while your skin is greasy means that it will increase the number of oils and make makeup more vulnerable to vandalism, as well as many problems such as cereals, broad pores, etc.

 

This is one example, but it's the same for all cosmetics and skincare, so as the first and most important step, these preparations are chosen to suit you so that the conditions are met:

 

- Be free of oils or contain them in a very small proportion.

- Rely on preparations with natural ingredients.

- Choose a color similar to that of your skin for basic creams, preferably without color.

Note: It's not about choosing the most expensive, it's about choosing the ones that fit your skin and deal with its problems.

 

 

•          Protection of skin from sunlight

Sunshine Protection Cream is always the last thing to be applied in tips before putting on makeup for fat skin and for all skin types.

 

Rely on sun protection cream with a greater protection factor than SPF30.

Distribute an appropriate amount of it and massage it nicely and gently.

This must be done 20-30 minutes before exposure to sunlight.

Skin must be protected from the sun by adopting large hats, white clothes, and sunglasses, as well as avoiding spending too much time under their rays, especially during peak times.

 

Now you can start applying base cream and then powder, eye shadow, eyeliner, and lipstick, and this is the first time your makeup will be so elegant and mastered without its appearance that it's bothering you.
