“Makeup Starts with Skincare: A Pre-Base Ritual for All-Day Radiance”
🌟 Routine Focus: Prepping Skin for Flawless, Long-Wear Makeup
Goal: Smooth, hydrate, and prime the skin to extend makeup wear and enhance glow
Best for: All skin types, especially those dealing with dryness, texture, or makeup separation
Routine Time: 10–12 minutes
Best Time: Morning before base makeup application
đź’ˇ Why Pre-Makeup Skincare Matters
Great makeup starts with great skin prep.
Prepping your skin properly prevents pilling, cakiness, and oil breakthrough later in the day.
This routine focuses on hydration, barrier support, and a soft finish—not slick, not sticky.

Step | Product Type | Purpose |
---|---|---|
1 | Gentle Cleanser | Clean slate without stripping |
2 | Hydrating Toner | Balances and boosts hydration |
3 | Essence or Light Serum | Adds glow and plumpness |
4 | Moisturizer (lightweight) | Smooths texture, prevents flaking |
5 | Sunscreen SPF50+ | Essential protection + makeup primer base |
