This rule is universal. Before working on something, let’s say painting. The painter prepares all things he needs like paints, paint brushes , cleaner etc. and for these,he would need a clean canvas. Similarly, before applying makeup , we need a clean face which would be our canvas. 🙂 There are few steps you need to follow to prepare your skin for this. Each and very routine will be elaborated in a separate post, and will be linked directly.
How I prepare my skin:
- Wash face using my face wash.
- Apply face toner
- Apply moisturizer
How I prep my lips:
- Exfoliate (Click here to make your own lip exfoliator at home)
- Apply lip conditioner/moisturizer/balm
Wait for around 2 to 3 minutes before starting your make up.I have combination to oily skin and if you want to know my skincare routine,check here.
Step by step make up guide:
Please note that the steps mentioned in this post is what I have been following and not necessarily the same as others. Everyone has their own ritual to follow depending on what suits them and what works for them better. You may want to change these steps too once you are familiar with these. I believe in “no rules makeup” but a guidance won’t harm a beginner.
After prepping my skin, I move on to doing my eyes.
Eye routine:
- Eye primer/eyeshadow base
- Eyeshadow
- Eyeliner
- Mascara

Lips Routine:

Last but not the least do your eyebrows. I will share a video for this one as writing it down step by step will not be that easy to understand.

Great rules. I apply them to myself all the time. I use serum before moisturiser and a conditioning mist thorough the day to avoid caked up effect 🙂

Great tips I really need to be more disciplined when I put my makeup on, I never prime but I probably should. The problem is my skin is so sensitive that if I wear too much makeup on my face it breaks out in a rash.http://www.fadedspring.co.uk
