Makeup Artist Skin Prep Essentials

This post may contain affiliate and/or sponsored links. For more information be sure to check out my disclosure policy. 

As a makeup artist I am often given the task of using my brushes as a magic wand. I am here to tell you that although I have talent, I am not a miracle worker. Besides the most important task of taking care of your skin with proper skincare routines, next important task is to prep your skin properly.

 The most important thing is ensuring that your skin is moisturized and primed will ensure that your makeup applies flawlessly. I can break it down as simply as comparing it to an english muffin and a bagel. If your skin suffers from dry patches, large pores, etc the products applied will simply be adsorbed into those areas differently than others. This then translates to uneven application and inability to allow your natural beauty to shine. Prepping your skin with moisturizers and primers lays the groundwork for the makeup.
