Great makeup starts long before you dip into foundation. Prepping your skin properly not only helps your base go on smoother, but also makes everything last longer—and look more natural throughout the day.
Here’s a simple five-step routine to give your skin a soft, hydrated canvas:
1. Cleanse away the night (or day)
Even if your skin doesn’t feel dirty, cleansing helps remove oils, skincare residue, and debris that can mess with your foundation. We like the Perfect Foam Cleanser for a gentle, refreshing cleanse that won’t strip your skin.
2. Sweep on toner for balance
A good toner helps tighten pores and reset your skin’s pH—especially after cleansing. The Perfect Facial Toner does just that, and feels like a cooling reset before your next step.
3. Hydrate with intention
Well-moisturised skin = better foundation grip. Use the Perfect Light Facial Cream for lightweight hydration, or the Extra Rich Facial Cream if you’re feeling dry or tight.
4. Mist to wake up your glow
A hydrating mist like the Perfect Hydration Mist adds an extra layer of dew before you start applying makeup—and it helps blend layers together if you mist again after foundation.
5. Let it sit
Give your skincare a minute or two to sink in. This prevents pilling or sliding when you apply your Glow Compact Foundation or Matte Compact Foundation.
Prepping your skin is a small ritual with big payoff. Once it becomes part of your routine, you’ll start noticing how much better your makeup wears—and how good your skin feels beneath it all.
