It is critical to prepare your skin before applying create your own makeup in order to achieve a smooth base. Consequently, make sure to finish your skin care routine before applying your makeup. Check out our three tips for a quick and easy skin care preparation routine in the section below.

Step 1: Cleanse and tone your skin.
It is essential to apply Wholesale makeup on top of freshly cleansed skin. Opt for an exfoliating facial cleanser, such as the L'Oréal Paris Revitalift Bright Reveal Daily Scrub Cleanser, which is formulated with gentle micro-pearls and glycolic acid to help exfoliate the skin and reveal a more radiant and smoother complexion.

Step 2: Moisturize the skin.
Hydration is the first step toward achieving a flawless complexion. When foundation is applied on top of dry or flaky skin, it will detract from the appearance of a smooth base. While it is important to wear makeup during the day, it is also important to protect your skin from the sun by using an SPF. With the L'Oréal Paris Revitalift Triple Power Day Lotion SPF 30, you can get the benefits of a moisturizer and an SPF all in one product. It hydrates the skin and protects it from sun damage, and it also works to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Face primers are excellent for addressing specific concerns while also providing a more even canvas for makeup application. Consider a luminous primer, such as the L'Oréal Paris True Match Lumi Glotion Natural Glow Enhancer, if you have dry skin. This product adds radiance and glow to the skin without feeling greasy. For oily skin that tends to get oily throughout the day, the L'Oréal Paris Infallible Pro-Matte Lock  Primer is a great choice. It mattifies the skin while also creating a subtle blurred effect.

How to Apply create your own makeup to Your Face
The application of complexion products should begin after your skin has been thoroughly cleansed, moisturized, and prepared. Continue reading to find out what the best order of application is.

Step 1: Put on the Foundation
Foundation is one of the few makeup essentials that you don't want others to see you wearing, which means it should look exactly like your skin, if not slightly better. So be sure to select a formula that is tailored to your specific requirements. When it comes to foundation, if you have oily skin, you may want to consider using a matte foundation such as the L'Oréal Paris Infallible Matte Foundation. In a powder, you can have a fresh look for up to 24 hours. Its breathable and weightless formula completely evens out your skin tone and stays in place for up to 24 hours without feeling heavy on the skin. It is also waterproof and sweatproof, so you won't have to worry about reapplying your makeup during the course of the day.

If you have dry skin, a liquid foundation such as the L'Oréal Paris Infallible 24 Hour Fresh Wear Foundation, Lightweight, may be a good option for you to try. With its thin liquid formula, this foundation provides buildable, full coverage while also creating an even complexion that does not appear cakey. In order to achieve even and natural-looking coverage when applying liquid complexion products, a damp Wholesale makeup blender, such as the L'Oréal Paris Infallible Blend Artist Foundation Blender, should be used.

2nd Step: Apply Concealer Where Necessary.
Apply concealer next, focusing on the areas around your eyes and any blemishes or areas you want to brighten. Although foundation does a fantastic job of evening out the complexion, concealer can be used to target any stubborn imperfections that remain. A full-coverage concealer with a matte finish and a long-wearing formula is available from L'Oréal Paris Infallible Full Wear Concealer Waterproof, Full Coverage, which also has a matte finish.

In order to specifically conceal dark under-eye circles while maintaining a lightweight feel, try the L'Oréal Paris True Match Eye Cream in a Concealer, which contains 0.5% of the skin-plumping ingredient hyaluronic acid. Because of the high concentration of hyaluronic acid in this product, it provides 24 hour hydration that helps to keep the eye area looking fresh and brighter.

Step 3: Defining the features of the face
Now that you've achieved a uniform base, it's time to add dimension to your skin by bronzing or contouring it if necessary. A large, fluffy brush and a bronzer such as the L'Oréal Paris True Match Lumi Bronze It Bronzer can be used to create a natural-looking bronzed look just under your cheekbones and around the perimeter of your face. You can contour your cheekbones and nose with a contouring product that is a few shades darker than your skin tone for a more sculpted appearance.

Step 4: Highlight your cheeks with a splash of color.
Applying blush to your complexion is a great way to add some color to your complexion and ensure that your face does not appear one-sided. Apply your color of choice to the apples of your cheeks with a fluffy cheek brush and gently swipe up towards your temples to create a lifted appearance. Our favorite thing about the L'Oréal Paris Age Perfect Radiant Satin Blush with Camellia Oil is how smooth and blendable the formula is. It also appears to be luminous without being glittery.

Step 5: Add a Glow to Finish Off the Skin
A highlighter can be applied to the high points of your cheeks to bring out their natural radiance and finish off your skin. It's easy to use the L'Oréal Paris True Match Lumi Glow Amour Glow Boosting Drops because you can pat them on with your fingertips for a more concentrated look, or you can blend them out with a sponge for a more understated shimmer appearance.
