Prepping Skin for Makeup Foundation

Video Transcript

"So, the first thing that you are going to want to do is prep your skin for your foundation. So you are going to apply a light moisturizer all over the skin. Just really make sure that really gets in your skin. Moisturizer is really important because it helps with any dry spots on your face. So the makeup will blend over it easier. It's also great for your skin. A lot of moisturizers have anti-aging properties now. So it's really important to start using them now if you haven't been using them. Also use a moisturizer with an SPF in it, because that helps with aging and age spots and fine lines around your eyes and around your mouth. So you really want to use that. Not to mention melanoma and all the skin cancer you can get now from just not wearing a moisturizer with an SPF. Now we are going to go in with a primer. This primer is oil-free so it's not going to cause any breakouts. It's just going to really smooth out the texture of her skin and give this a really nice surface to put the foundation on. It's almost like getting your canvas ready to paint. Also, primer helps hold your foundation in place throughout the day. It really helps it look flawless. So it's really important to use. Just blend it all the way up. I am using the same brush that I used for the moisturizer. Then you just want to let it set for just a few minutes. Let it dry and then we will go in with the foundation. So now your skin's prepped and ready to go."
