Don’t even think about reaching for your foundation yet
You can have all the mad makeup skills in the world, and all the right formulas to suit your skin type, but without great skin as your base, it’s near impossible to look your best. So before you go anywhere near your makeup, follow these four skin care steps.
1
Scrub
Exfoliating sloughs off dead skin cells for instant radiance. Try Estelle & Thild Bioclense Radiance Micro Polish.
2
Perk up skin
Splash your face with cool water to get blood pumping.
3
Hydrate
Smooth on a hyaluronic acid-packed serum and moisturiser, like Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel, to counteract dehydration.
4
Pamper eyes
An eye gel de-puffs (bonus points if you placed it in the fridge last night – it will be extra soothing this morning). Try First Aid Beauty Eye Duty.
Now for your makeup - follow these steps that make you look younger.
