Flawless Makeup - Skin Preparation

Consider your face as a canvas. Just as a painter selects the appropriate canvas before beginning the artwork, you too should employ a suitable skin care routine to suit your skin type and lifestyle. Never underestimate the importance of skin care preparation to ensure a clean, fresh, natural looking makeup canvas.

Thorough skin prepping will ensure your foundation glides on smoothly for what should result in a flawless coverage. As a professional makeup artist, whilst I highly recommend that you visit a beauty therapist and/or skin care consultant the following are basic steps that you can immediately apply to your skin care regime.

Cleanse, moisturize and protect preferably twice a day but, if you must choose, pay particular attention to your evening skin care routine. An evening skin care clean will combat and treat any daytime exposure to environmental pollutants and climate damage, such as the wind and sun.

Never go to bed without first removing your makeup. Wearing makeup to bed will clog your pores, not to mention soil your pillowcase (promoting further skin irritation), and sleeping with mascara on can damage and break your lashes.

Be careful not to over cleanse oily skin, doing so may strip away too much oil which leads to increased oil production. Before you cleanse your skin, it's important to gently remove your makeup first. If you don't own a specific makeup remover, an oil-based cream is ideal for removing makeup regardless of your skin type. Lashes and liner adhesive

Otherwise, any moisturizer will suffice and is obviously better than not removing your makeup at all. Cleansers come in different forms, e.g. foaming cleansers, gels, lotions, and pH balanced soap (personally not a favorites of mine). Choose a skin care to suit your skin type.

Correct cleansing will eliminate any daytime grime, perspiration and stale makeup, all of which contribute to blocked pores and unsightly blackheads and other blemishes. If you're unsure of your skin type, this is when a beauty therapist and/or skin consultant comes in handy.
