Beauty Tips: Quick Guide for a Nice and Flawless Make Up Base

By DAZEITA BEAUTY

Hi ladies, I wanted to start with the eye makeup, you know the brows; eye shadow colours that best suit a skin type, perfect eye lining and all but then I thought: if the skin isn't well prep'd, no matter how good your makeup is, you won't have a perfect finish. So, this is a quick guide to getting a nice and flawless makeup base.                                                              

Preparing your face for makeup will depend largely on your skin type and condition. You need to take into consideration the weather and how it has or may affect your skin. These steps are guidelines, try them and I'm positive You'll be pleased with the results.                              

CLEANSE: there are loads of options when it comes to cleansing the face; lotions, milks, foaming mousses, oils, wipes or plain water and mild face soap. You can use a combination of toners and cleanser, the important thing is using that which suits your skin type. For oily skin, use an oil free cleanser and a gentler cleanser for sensitive/dry skin about an hour before applying makeup.                    
                                                     

MOISTURIZE : Now I know some of you are wondering "why use a moisturizer when I already have an oily skin!?" Well, its important to  keep the skin hydrated and that is the difference between having a flawless look and having dry skin patches showing up more prominently under makeup. Use a moisturizer with at least SPF 15 to protect your skin from the sun and let it sit for about 5minutes before the next step is taken
                                

PRIME: after cleansing and moisturising the face, take a face primer and apply with the tips of your fingers, paying attention to lines, large pores and sore/red areas.  Primers prevent the skin from absorbing pigment from your foundation, your foundation stays put all day, it creates a barrier between the foundation and your skin... This provides a smooth base and helps the makeup last.You don't need so much for a good finish.
  
So that's it, You can apply your makeup now and have that natural glow we all crave! Feel free to ask questions & check here for updates on makeup. xoxo
