This rule is universal. Before working on something, let’s say painting. The painter prepares all things he needs like paints, paint brushes , cleaner etc. and for these,he would need a clean canvas. Similarly, before applying makeup , we need a clean face which would be our canvas. 🙂 There are few steps you need to follow to prepare your skin for this. Each and very routine will be elaborated in a separate post, and will be linked directly.
Do not forget to touch the bottom of this post for some amazing beginners’ tutorials <3
How I prepare my skin:
- Wash face using my face wash.
- Apply face toner

How I prep my lips:

Step by step make up guide:
Please note that the steps mentioned in this post is what I have been following and not necessarily the same as others. Everyone has their own ritual to follow depending on what suits them and what works for them better. You may want to change these steps too once you are familiar with these. I believe in “no rules makeup” but a guidance won’t harm a beginner.

Great rules. I apply them to myself all the time. I use serum before moisturiser and a conditioning mist thorough the day to avoid caked up effect 🙂
Yay! This post is very helpful to me. I’m a beginner when it comes to cosmetics HAHA! :*
Aww i’m.glad this helps :*
Great post as usual hun 🙂 love the details in all your steps !
Great tips I really need to be more disciplined when I put my makeup on, I never prime but I probably should. The problem is my skin is so sensitive that if I wear too much makeup on my face it breaks out in a rash.http://www.fadedspring.co.uk
I never prep my lips… that’s probably an important step that i’m skipping ^^’
