Most things in life require careful planning and preparation, whether it's for work, school, or going out, so your face also needs proper care to keep your makeup looking perfect and lasting as long as possible.

Applying layers and layers of makeup to an unprepared face leads to an uneven complexion, buildup of oily or dry products, and an overall worse appearance of the makeup as well as the skin.

Before applying makeup, use these simple tricks to get the best results!

1) The basis of everything - a cleansed face

The first step in your routine should be using a facial cleanser that removes excess oil and dirt from the surface of the skin.

Be sure to use a cleanser that suits your skin type and needs, and we recommend avoiding drying cleansers, as hydrated skin is key when applying makeup.

2) Apply facial toner

After cleansing your face, spray your face with toner. The toner will help to further hydrate and refresh your skin, thus creating the perfect base for makeup.

It is important to use a hydrating or soothing toner, and in no case more aggressive toners that additionally cleanse but also dry out the face, so that you do not get the opposite effect.

L'ADRIA Restorative mist is a perfect choice - it hydrates and protects your skin, and you can use it as a makeup base, but also to reduce the powdery effect of powder!

3) Use eye cream

Creams formulated specifically for the eye area help to "wake up" tired eyes and refresh the eye area, but at the same time they nourish and prepare it for the application of concealer, powder, and other products.

Before applying makeup, use an eye cream with a richer composition, which will maximally smooth the skin and prevent the drying effect of the foundation or the product from settling in the skin folds. L'ADRIA Eye Cream is simply ideal for this purpose!

4) Extra care and hydration for your face

The secret to a good makeup base is optimal skin hydration. Apply a nourishing cream and, if necessary, a face serum that suits your skin type for better makeup application and a more natural look.

A fantastic makeup base is L'ADRIA Instant Revitalizing Facial Serum , which deeply hydrates the skin and gives it a youthful, vibrant look. With a good hydrating base, you can avoid using a primer unless you really want a matte finish on your skin.

5) Skin peeling for an added effect

Exfoliating the skin contributes to longer-lasting makeup, more thorough removal of dry areas of the facial skin, but also to better penetration and effect of cosmetic products.

An exfoliated face is extremely smooth, making it the perfect base for applying products, but we still recommend exfoliating the night before makeup to give your skin enough time to recover by the next morning.
