Prepare Your Skin Before Makeup

How to prepare your skin before makeup?


Whenever we think about applying makeup, the first step comes in our mind if of applying foundation.

We skip all those steps that we should do before applying the foundation.

We don’t know that how clean and clear skin is importance for a perfect and flawless makeup look.

Will you put your dishes of fully garnished and mouthwatering food on an unclean table?
No matter how tasty and delicious food you have cooked and how nicely you’ve presented it. If your table is not clean properly, no one is going to like that food. Perhaps they will not even taste that food.

Same is the case with your skin and makeup. If your skin is not neat and properly clean, it will be unable to hold your makeup for a long time. And results will be horrible.

Clean and clear skin is the key to a perfect makeup look.

Here are some steps you should do before applying foundation.

Cleanse your face:


Use a cleanser which suits your skin best.

For dry skin:

If you have a dry skin, use a cream concealer. It will moisturize your skin while cleansing.
Moisturized skin plays an essential role in holding makeup for a long time.

For oily skin:

If you have oily skin, then go with a gel or foam moisturizer. It will gently cleanse your skin without making it oily. Instead it will remove excess oil from your skin.

For combination skin:

Combination skin means some parts of your face are oily and some are normal or dry.
For this skin type, use cleansers that are specifically made for combination skins.

Cleanse your face:

  1. Wet your face with lukewarm water by splashing water on your face with water in your hands.
  2. Repeat this step 2 to 3 times.
  3. Then apply your selected cleanser on your face.
  4. Gently massage the cleanser all over your face for 45 to 60 seconds giving time to the cleanser to work.
  5. Then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
  6. Don’t use hot water as it will make your skin dry.
  7. Dry your face with gentle patting of a towel. Don’t rub the towel on your face as it will irritate the skin leaving red patches on your face.

Apply toner on your face:


Many people overlook toner. But this is an important step as it will remove any leftover dead skin cells and bacteria.

Squeeze a bit of toner onto a cotton ball or cotton pad and gently swipe it all over your face. 

The idea here isn’t to scrub the skin, but instead, to gently wet the face with the toner.

Use an alcohol free toner.
I will recommend simple rose water. It is the best natural toner so far.
If you want to make your own rosewater at home you can check my previous blog on Homemade Rosewater. It is chemical free rosewater with zero side effects.

Apply moisturizer:


Choose moisturizer according to your skin.

  • If you’ve dry skin, choose cream moisturizer as it will give your skin a good dewy look.
  • If you have oily skin, select an oil free moisturizer.
  • Select a light moisturizer which contains SPF 15 at least that will protect your skin from harmful rays of sun.

The best way to apply moisturizer:


Many people apply the moisturizer in a wrong way. They take a huge amount of moisturizer on their palm. Rub their palms and apply it on their face. And keep on massaging it.

Massaging gives them a feeling that you’ve applied less amount of moisturizer.

As a result, they keep on applying moisturizer until they get a good oily feeling on their face.

This way is completely wrong.

You just have to apply moisturizer on your face and gently pat it with your fingertips. This will ensure that you don’t apply too much moisturizer, which can lead to breakouts and/or oily skin.

Do not rub it as it will look like you have applied less moisturizer.

Patting will draw your blood to the upper surface which will consequently give your skin a rosy look.

Most Important:

Let the moisturizer sink into your skin. Give it at least 5 minutes. This is a really important step that we all neglect or some people don’t even know about it.

We people just keep on applying products on our skin without giving them room to sit.
Leave your skin for minimum 5 minutes after every step while doing makeup.

Apply primer:


Most of us don’t give any importance to the primer.
Primer is the key step in applying makeup. It gives a base to your makeup. It plays an important role in holding your makeup for a long time.
  • Dab the primer all over your face.

Color correcting concealers:

If you’ve blemishes, acne, pigmentation, blue or dark spots choose a correct color concealer.
I have written a complete guide on color correcting concealers.

Preparing lips:


  • Exfoliate you lips by a sugar scrub in circular motions.
  • If you don’t have any sugar scrub, you can make a scrub of your own.
  • Simply mix coconut oil and sugar in 1:1 ratio.
  • Gently rub the scrub on your lips in circular motions.
  • It will remove dry patches and dead skin cells from your lips.
  • Then apply petroleum jelly or a lip balm on your lips.

Important:


Give at least 10 minutes to the balm or moisturizer to soak into your lips.

Here you go babes!
Your skin is now ready for makeup products.
APPLY AND SLAY

Make Your Cream Highlighter At Home If we say a highlighter is a game changer in makeup, it won’t be a wrong statement. I personally love highlighter because why not? Is there anything to hate about it? Naahhhh. Not at all. It literally makes you feel in heaven. What a highlighter actually does? It was firstly used in theaters by film actors shooting or performing indoors because there was a lack of natural light, so they need something to provide definition of facial features like cheekbones, nose, and jaw line. Since then people got a wind of it and its sales rose abruptly. It enhances your facial features by providing a definition to your cheekbones nose and jaw line. It’s a game changer for your eye makeup as it makes your eye look bigger. Main problems people face while choosing and applying highlighter: As different companies have introduced their own highlighters but still some people can’t find a true match for their skin tone.

Diy Waterproof Gel Eyeliner

DIY Waterproof Organic Gel Eyeliner: Eye liner was first used in  Ancient Egypt  and  Mesopotamia  as a dark black line around the eyes. As early as 10,000 BC, Egyptians and Mesopotamians wore various cosmetics including eyeliner not only for aesthetics but to protect the skin from the desert sun. Research has also speculated that eye liner was worn to protect the wearer from the  evil eye (Google). I am a big fan of gel eyeliners. I always tried a lot of methods and did a bunch of experiments to make my own waterproof gel eyeliner. YouTube videos were always my tutors. But unfortunately I failed every time. I remember once I watched a video and did same procedure as the girl said by adding activated charcoal into oil and aloe Vera gel. It was a complete wastage of time and money as it was neither waterproof nor a proper gel eyeliner. It immediately stuck on my upper lid once I opened my eyes after its application. So I decided to try my own kind of ingredients
