Skin Prep: The Secret To Flawless Makeup

The pre-makeup routine that makes everything sit better and photograph cleaner.

Skincare

1. Know Your Skin

Understanding whether skin is dry, oily, combination, or sensitive shapes every product choice. The right prep makes makeup sit better and last longer.

2. Cleanse and Exfoliate

A gentle cleanse removes the barrier of oil and residue that stops products adhering. Light, infrequent exfoliation keeps texture smooth without irritation.

3. Hydrate and Prime

Layer a hydrating serum and moisturiser suited to your skin, then a primer that targets your concern — pores, glow, or grip — for a seamless base.

4. Protect Daily

Sunscreen is non-negotiable, even under makeup. It protects the work you put in and keeps skin looking healthy over the long term.

5. Prep for the Day

On event mornings we simplify: cleanse, hydrate, prime, and go. Well-cared-for skin is the best foundation any makeup can have.
