We spoke with Simona to uncover how to properly care for facial skin before applying makeup and why hydration is critical to longevity.
How necessary is skin preparation before makeup application?
Skin preparation before makeup application is crucial for achieving a flawless look. I strongly advocate for proper skincare before makeup because it helps create a perfect canvas, extends makeup wear time, and improves overall skin health. Additionally, proper skin preparation prevents clogged pores, breakouts, and uneven makeup application.
What are the benefits of using natural cosmetics compared to conventional products?
Natural cosmetics have several advantages. I’ve noticed that individuals with sensitive skin experience fewer irritations and allergic reactions with natural cosmetics, which are gentler on the skin. Moreover, they are rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids that nourish and maintain skin health. Finally, they are more environmentally friendly as they are produced using sustainable practices and biodegradable ingredients, reducing their environmental impact.
To ensure makeup longevity, what techniques do you apply?
Start with a thorough cleansing to remove all impurities. Follow with a lightweight moisturizer to provide a good base for makeup application. Then, apply a primer suitable for your skin type to smooth skin texture, minimize pores, and create a barrier between your skin and makeup. This helps makeup adhere better and last longer throughout the day. Use long-lasting or waterproof makeup formulas, especially for foundation, concealer, and eye pencils. Always carry an appropriate setting powder and lip colour for quick touch-ups and to maintain the desired look.
How do you adapt to different skin types during makeup preparation?
Having a variety of products that cater to different skin types is essential. It’s crucial to recognize skin types and gather information from the client about their skincare routine and skin condition to facilitate further and clarify the selection of suitable products for skin preparation before makeup application.
What do you look for in products?
First and foremost, overall product quality. Then, we will examine ingredients, effectiveness, scent, and compatibility with other products and clients’ skin.
