The secret to flawless makeup doesn’t lie in the foundation alone—it starts with your skin. Even the most luxurious foundation won’t sit well on dull, flaky, or uneven skin. When your skin is deeply hydrated, soothed, and supple, makeup blends seamlessly, giving you that dreamy glowing skin base for makeup that lasts throughout the day.

Why Prepping Your Skin Is Essential

Taking a few extra steps before applying makeup can completely transform the finish:

• Smooth Application: Hydrated skin prevents foundation from clinging to dry or rough areas.
• Long-Lasting Look: Well-nourished skin helps makeup stay fresh for longer hours.
• Natural Glow: Prepped skin allows your inner radiance to shine, reducing the need for heavy layers.
• Healthy Barrier: A skincare-first routine guards against dryness, irritation, and environmental stress.

Tips for Building a Radiant Makeup Base

• Stay Hydrated: Apply a nourishing moisturizer to keep skin soft and plump before foundation.
• Layer Wisely: Begin with light, water-based products, then use gels, finishing with creams for balanced hydration.
• Refresh with Mist: A hydrating mist keeps the skin fresh and supports longer makeup wear.
• Massage In: Gently press skincare into the skin to boost circulation and create a natural glow.

Makeup Guidelines for the Glass Skin Effect

• Light Coverage: Use BB creams or sheer foundations to let skin’s natural beauty show.
• Cream & Liquid Formulas: Cream blushes, bronzers, and highlighters melt into hydrated skin beautifully.
• Minimal Powder: A light touch is fine, but excess powder can flatten the dewy finish.
• Blend Seamlessly: Work products into the skin instead of layering heavily for a smooth result.
