Beautiful You: Steps you must take before applying makeup

Steps you must take before applying makeup.

1. Cleanse
A smooth base is one of the most important steps of applying makeup. Find a cleanser that is good for your skin type (dry, sensitive, etc.). Try rinsing with warm water, which is gentler on the skin.

2. Rinse
Try rinsing your skin with cold water; this helps close the pores. When you're finished, pat skin dry with a towel instead of rubbing.

3. Tone
Applying toner is a step many overlook, but it is very important in your daily routine. It restores the pH level of your skin, moisturizes, and gets rid of any excess dirt.

Bioderma Sensibio H2O (beautylish.com) is great because it has a formula for every skin concern. Simple's Cleansing Micellar Water (available at drugstores) is also great and affordable.

4. Moisturize
Moisturizing the skin is important because it restores hydration. Moisturize the face, under eyes, and the neck. It will keep your skin glowing and radiant.

5. Prime
A primer will help your makeup last longer, creates a smoother base for your makeup to glide on,
and acts as a barrier between the skin and makeup.
