Everyone knows that no matter how beautiful your makeup is, encountering sweat and oil can be embarrassing, making your delicate look fade away.
And the base makeup, it can be said to be the foundation of the entire makeup look. If this foundation is not done well, no matter how well the subsequent makeup is applied, it will look inferior upon closer inspection! So today, let’s share some tips to make your base makeup both refined and long-lasting~
However, before that, we first need to have a correct understanding of base makeup products. We need to understand that the purpose of base makeup products is not to instantly whiten the skin, but to modify skin imperfections such as uneven skin tone, dullness, and pores, while preserving the skin’s original texture, beautifying the texture. In simple terms, it’s about looking natural and clean, as if you’re not wearing any makeup at all. This point is particularly important, as it almost directly determines the texture of the entire makeup look.
Good skin condition is key
The skin is like a canvas; good skin usually results in a simple and beautiful makeup look, while staying up late, dryness, acne outbreaks… can make it difficult to apply makeup. So, it’s essential to prioritize skincare in your daily routine! Pay attention to hydration and moisturization, do repair and maintenance work, and try to balance the skin’s water and oil levels. When the skin is in good condition, makeup can enhance its beauty.
Pre-makeup skincare
Pre-makeup skincare steps shouldn’t be too complicated. If a skincare routine involves 7, 8, or 9 steps, with layer upon layer of products, the foundation will naturally “float” up. Plus, with the heat causing more oil production, you’ll likely need to touch up your makeup from time to time, adding more layers, making the makeup feel thicker and less adherent.
Keep pre-makeup skincare simple: water, serum, lotion/moisturizer, sunscreen are enough. Sunscreen is the last step in pre-makeup skincare, and you should wait until it’s fully absorbed before applying foundation. This not only avoids pilling but also doesn’t compromise the effectiveness of the sunscreen.
