5 Makeup Tips People Wish They Had Known Sooner
5. Take Care Of Your Skin Underneath Your Makeup
While this tip might be obvious to some, Hughes emphasized that well-prepped skin makes makeup application “ten times better.”
According to her, “the most beautiful makeup comes from taking care of your skin underneath.”
Before applying any product, she advised “cleansing the skin with a mild facial wash” then “applying a brightening serum.”
“Vitamin C is a great ingredient for this — it’ll help even out your skin tone,” Hughes noted.
