Skincare before make-up: a flawless base for long-lasting evening make-up
When it comes to makeup, one of the most common challenges many people face is keeping it intact throughout an evening. Often, issues such as smudging and dullness can ruin the desired look. However, the truth is that the secrets to long-lasting makeup lie mainly in the evening skincare routine that prepares the skin to receive cosmetics.
In this article, we will explore the importance of good skincare before applying makeup and how it can play an indispensable role in creating a flawless base.
How to prepare your skin for evening make-up: the perfect skincare before make-up
Oily, dry, combination, or normal skin? Before applying any type of product, it's important to understand the needs of our skin so as to choose the most suitable products that help us achieve a more effective result. Once we have understood the specific needs of our skin, we can proceed with an evening skincare routine, which will require performing several steps before we can apply makeup.
Let's see what these are.
1. Facial cleansing
Thorough cleansing is the essential first step to remove impurities accumulated during the day. By using a gentle cleanser, such as our Bifase makeup remover, you can make your skin like a canvas, clean and fresh, ready to welcome the products of the subsequent phases and, finally, the makeup.
Moreover, at least once a week, it is advisable to include a gentle exfoliating action in the evening routine, before sleeping, for a deeper cleanse that removes dead cells and promotes cell renewal, contributing to making the skin brighter and more even. You can choose a lighter-action gommage for more delicate skin, or an anti-ageing scrub like Noveo, which is perfect for mature skin.
2. Application of toner
Toner is an essential product for relaxing the skin tissue after cleansing and exfoliation. By refreshing the face, it helps to rebalance the skin's pH, removes any residues and prepares the skin to receive the following products.
3. Application of serum
After the toner, you can move on to using a serum, taking care to choose one specific to the needs of your skin. This type of product is formulated with concentrated ingredients that aim to treat specific issues such as dryness, skin ageing, or lack of brightness. Being a concentrated element, it should not be used to replace moisturizing creams, but as a complementary and supportive element.
4. Deep hydration
The key to a flawless makeup base is deep skin hydration. After applying the serum, use a moisturizing face cream, taking care to choose a specific one for the eye contour. By adequately hydrating each area of the face, you will make the skin softer, brighter and more elastic, but above all ready for makeup application.
5. Primer
The primer is the base for long-lasting evening makeup: this product creates a barrier between the skin and the makeup, helping to improve its hold. Just apply a small amount all over the face, focusing on problem areas, like the T-zone.
Among our thermal cosmetics, you can try our BB Creams: they are an excellent base for makeup and you can mix them together to create the right shade for your face, they also have a nourishing and hydrating action.
Once the BB Cream is applied, you can proceed to apply the rest of the makeup products, which will now have an adequate hold for the entire evening.
