Before applying day cream and foundation, you must cleanse your skin well. On an unprepared face, residue becomes encrusted. Skincare and makeup trap impurities and cause or even worsen skin imperfections.

Clean skin, for its part, effectively absorbs treatments such as serums, lotions and creams, which constitute a protective barrier necessary for the application and good hold of make-up.

​Here are a few steps to follow to purify your skin and prepare it for the makeup stage:

As soon as you wake up, gently cleanse your face with a gel, micellar water, makeup remover oil and lotion adapted to the needs of your skin.

Once or twice a week, on combination or oily skin, unclog pores with an exfoliating scrub to eliminate impurities. Regulate excess sebum with a purifying mask or cleansing treatment;

Moisturize your skin with a serum or cream for dry, normal, oily or combination skin. Daily application of appropriate care helps treat excess sebum and dry skin. On healthy skin, makeup adheres more easily and lasts longer.

In the evening, cleanse the skin to remove all traces of pollution, sweat or sebum. Remove your makeup with a lipophilic texture by massaging your face to dissolve all impurities, then apply a foaming product that rinses with water to complete the cleansing.

Choosing your foundation

Your skin is cleansed, ready to be made up. Now all that’s left to do is choose the right foundation!

For a natural effect, opt for a shade of complexion suited to your skin tone. Light beige makeup for fair skin, rather than dark brown foundation.

Select the texture and formula that suits your skin type, whether oily, dry, normal or combination.

Adapt the level of coverage according to your needs and the desired result: unify or smooth the complexion, blur or hide skin imperfections.

Have you chosen your foundation, its texture and its color? Now is the time to apply it, with the right gestures and the appropriate accessories.

With a brush or sponge : here’s how to apply your foundation and perfect the finishes to obtain a luminous complexion!

Applying foundation with your finger

Quick and practical, application with the finger allows you to work directly with the material. It is also very comfortable for sensitive skin looking for softness. The advantage: you don’t waste foundation and you don’t have to clean any accessories. On the other hand, this application has several disadvantages:

The brush is more precise and allows you to dose the product according to the desired effect. Choose your brush according to the density and length of its bristles, because each brush meets a specific objective: a complexion with a natural finish, zero blemishes or smoothed.

For a flawless finish, the Universal Foundation Brush or flat brush is used to apply foundations with liquid or cream textures. Its long hairs, its gradient and rounded cut allow the material to be stretched for maximum coverage.

  After applying an illuminating base, place 1 or 2 dabs of foundation on the back of the hand. Work the texture with the tip of the brush to heat it up.

  Take the material with the brush then place small touches of foundation on your face at the forehead, nose, chin and cheeks. For a flawless, unified complexion without demarcations, stretch the foundation using a smoothing movement, from the center of the face outwards. Make sure to distribute the material evenly over the entire face and neck.

Finalize your complexion makeup by applying a compact powder, a blush, a sun powder and a highlighter. Tap with the powder brush. ! For a touch of shine, use the Blush Brush . It allows you to apply blushes and highlighters thanks to its beveled cut which perfectly matches the cheekbones.

To avoid demarcations and for a uniform and light effect, it is advisable to heat and work the material on the back of your hand before applying it. You can then use your fingers to fine-tune the application of the foundation, once it has been spread with the brush or sponge.
