2. Skincare Steps Before Makeup

It’s important to protect and care for your skin before applying makeup, regardless of the price or brand of the cosmetics you use. Skincare before makeup minimizes the risk of skin damage.

Cleanse the skin

Start by cleansing the skin to ensure clear pores and prevent clogging. Cleansing also enhances the effectiveness of makeup and prevents a dull appearance.

Cleansing is the first important step in the makeup process

Balance the skin

Use toner to moisturize and prevent dryness after cleansing. Toner also controls excess oil, tightens pores, and minimizes absorption of chemicals from cosmetics.

Balancing the skin helps limit the absorption of chemicals into the skin

Moisturize the skin

After the previous steps, moisturizing the skin is the final and most important step. Use lightweight moisturizers to avoid clogging pores. Moisturizing also helps fight aging, support treatment, and prevent wrinkles. Apply sunscreen after moisturizer, regardless of the weather.

Moisturize the skin regardless of whether it is sunny or not

For beginners, here are the basic makeup steps:

Step 1: Apply primer

Start with primer to soften the skin, improve skin tone, and create a brightening effect. High-quality primers provide nourishment and moisture for the skin.
