Perfect Your Makeup Base

Seeking that effortless makeup look? It’s all about that base. Follow our simple step-by-step guide for perfecting your canvas to achieve a flawless complexion.

Step 1: Start with an SPF for protection and added moisture.

BASE-PERFECTING TIP: A mineral sunscreen not only shields skin from the sun (hello ageless beauty!) but also provides a hydrating layer to keep flakes in check.

 

Step 2: Layer on a primer for smooth makeup application.

BASE-PERFECTING TIP: Primer is great at refining the look of pores, smoothing out skin texture, and helping the rest of your makeup stay put for all-day wear.

 

PRIME IT RIGHT: Use a mattifying primer in the T-zone to minimize shine and an illuminating one along face contours to highlight high points.

Step 3: Follow with a complexion-enhancing foundation.

BASE-PERFECTING TIP: Spray a mineral mist or essence onto your brush or sponge before buffing the product into your skin for a more natural, dewy finish. Prefer using your fingertips? Be sure to warm up the product in or on the back of your hands first before applying for better bendability and seamless coverage!

 

SKIP THE NOSE: Want your natural skin to shine through? Apply your foundation starting from the apples of your cheeks and blending it outwards—avoiding the nose—for the most skin-like finish.

Step 4: Conceal pesky spots and under-eye darkness.

BASE-PERFECTING TIP: For precise color correction, use a high-coverage concealer for blemishes and a hydrating one (in the shade lighter than your natural skin tone) to brighten up under eyes.

 

Step 5: Finish with a setting powder to lock in makeup.

BASE-PERFECTING TIP: To avoid looking too cakey or powdery, be sure to tap off any excess powder from your brush before applying for a softer finish.

 

BONUS HABITS TO HELP YOU GLOW: Skipping out on healthy habits shows up on your skin first. To maximize clarity and glow, be sure to eat whole foods, stay hydrated, and get plenty of shuteye.
