#24 Simplifying Skin Prep for Flawless Makeup Application


Listen Later

In this episode, I’m breaking down one of the most important steps in makeup application: skin prep. I used to find it a little overwhelming, but over time, I’ve refined my process and today I’m sharing exactly how I approach skin prep on my talent and clients. The goal? Keep things simple. Over-complicating skin prep can mess with your makeup application, and shorten the longevity of your work. I’ll take you through my step-by-step process to help you assess your client’s skin, choose the right products, and make decisions based on their skin type, any skin conditions they have, and the environment you’re working in.

Key Takeaways:

  • Simplicity is key in skin prep—too many products can interfere with your makeup.
  • Overloading skin with too many layers (especially serums and oils) can break down makeup over time, particularly on oily or combination skin types.
  • Skin prep is all about the short-term—it’s not the same as skincare.
  • Make sure you assess your client’s skin thoroughly using Q&A, sight, and touch before you start.
  • Always address skin conditions (temporary skin issues) like dry patches before applying makeup.
  • Tailor your skin prep to the environment and the job you’re working on.
