What your makeup artist should be thinking about before the foundation.

What should you, or your makeup artist, be thinking about before you start putting makeup on? SKINCARE. Here's why skincare is the secret to your makeup look:

• Smooth: Imagine applying makeup to a smooth canvas. That's what good skincare does! It helps your foundation sink in, and look much more glowy, and skin-like.
• Breakout Blocker: No one wants their makeup to look patchy because of a breakout. A solid skincare routine keeps your pores happy and helps prevent those unwanted blemishes.
• Makeup Marathon Ready: Want your makeup to last longer? Hydrated skin is the key! It helps your makeup grip on tight, and wear more evenly.
• Glow Up: Healthy skin = glowing skin. When your skin is lookin' good from the inside out, your makeup just enhances your natural beauty.

Quick & Easy Skincare Steps Before Makeup:

• Cleanse: Wash that face! Get rid of all the gunk from the day.
• Exfoliate: Gently scrub away dead skin cells for a smoother surface.
• Tone: Balance your skin's pH – think of it as a refreshing drink for your face.
• Hydrate: Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize!

By adding these simple steps to your routine, you'll not only have healthier skin but also a flawless makeup look that'll make you feel like a queen.

When booking a makeup artist, pay attention to what the skin looks like in the portfolio photos if you can. Also- if they want a few extra minutes for eye patches or skincare steps- do it!
