Because skin that is well-cared for not only is it healthier but it allows for a smoother makeup application.
So, to prepare your face for perfect looking makeup, here’s what you do:
1. Apply cleansing cream or lotion.

Okay okay. Before you start, use a headband or hair clip to pull your hair back and keep it out of the way.
Next, place dabs of cleanser on your forehead, nose, cheeks, chin and neck. Use light upwards and outward circular movements to spread the cleanser over your face and neck.
2. Remove cleanser.

Use tissue, a damp washcloth or moist cotton balls to remove the cleanser. Be especially gentle when removing the cleanser from the delicate skin around the eyes.
Apply cleanser as needed.
