How to Prep Skin Before 

Makeup

Skin prep before makeup is important so you can create the perfect canvas for your makeup.

It’s important to prep skin because it restores, balances, and refreshes skin’s surface. It also is an important step where you will apply your SPF.

Skin prep is an absolute essential part of my makeup routine, and it should be yours!

Here is my morning skincare routine before makeup:

Gently cleanse face or splash with water to remove the previous night’s skincare

Apply daytime serums like hyaluronic acid and vitamin C serums

Apply daytime moisturizer

Apply eye cream (you can also mix with a little bit of eye primer to help prep the under eye)

Apply SPF

If my skin is feeling a little dry or I want extra hydration for the under eye area, I take ONE drop of a facial oil and pat it under the eyes.

I make sure to let my skin sit for about 10 minutes or so before I start on my makeup.

I like to give my skincare and prep a moment to absorb! I then go in with a face primer!
