Your Skin Before Your Makeup
Why the best base starts long before foundation.
Makeup artists will tell you: the secret to beautiful makeup is well-prepared skin.
Hydration first
Dehydrated skin makes makeup cling and crease. A good moisturiser, given a few minutes to absorb, is the single best primer.
Texture and tone
Smoother, more even skin simply needs less product. This is where consistent skincare — and treatments like Laser Genesis for tone and texture — quietly change your routine.
Less, placed well
When the skin underneath is cared for, you can apply foundation only where you need it and let the rest show through.
