All about that base!

Say it with me, flawless foundation starts with the perfect skin prep. Just like assembling the Avengers before a big battle, you need to gather your arsenal of products to achieve a radiant complexion. A little confused? Don't worry I got you! Here is a guide to the basics of skin prep before foundation, featuring the secret weapons of primers tailored to your skin type and concerns. Ready? Here we go…

Skin Type Superpowers:

Just like superheroes, our skin types have their unique strengths and weaknesses. Whether you're a slick and shiny "Oily Ollie" or a parched and flaky "Dry Dan," finding a primer suited to your skin type is crucial. For oily skin, opt for a mattifying primer to keep the excess oil at bay. Dry skin babes will love a hydrating primer that provides a much-needed moisture boost, transforming you into the radiant star you were born to be. Combination skin? Don't worry, opt for a water based primer that hydrates and blurs lines.

Less is More, Our Beauty Mantra:

Remember in the realm of skin prep, "less is more" is the holy grail. A pea-sized amount of primer is enough to save the day, ensuring your foundation clings to your skin. The goal is to create a smooth and long-lasting base, not a pancake mask that would make even a boomer cringe. Don't overload your face with layers of product; instead, apply a thin, even layer of primer and let it work its magic. Your skin will thank you, and you'll feel as light and airy as a dewy skinned fairy.

Spray it, don’t say it:

Now it's time for the finishing touch, the cherry on the cake! Reach for a setting spray that will seal the deal, shrinking the chances of your makeup budging throughout the day. Close your eyes, channel your inner goddess, and mist the setting spray over your face in a swift, even motion. This combined with a loose setting powder is the superhero that will lock in your foundation, making it bulletproof against heat, humidity, and all the challenges that life throws your way.

Preparing your skin for foundation is akin to putting together a great assignment . Every aspect plays a vital role. You have to study your skin to understand its needs. I will forever emphasize on skin care rather than makeup because that is the one thing that can make or break your makeup.
