Makeup Tips

Prepare Skin Before Color

Start with clean skin and let moisturizer or sunscreen settle before applying complexion products. Thin layers are easier to blend than one heavy layer, and they help foundation, concealer, and powder look smoother through the day.

Match Coverage To The Day

For everyday wear, apply complexion product only where you want evenness, then build coverage around redness, discoloration, or shine. For longer days, use primer in high-movement areas and set only the zones that need it.

Use Eye Products In Layers

Curl lashes before mascara, keep liner close to the lash line for definition, and let each mascara coat set briefly before adding more. For brows, short strokes usually look softer than one heavy line.

Balance Lip Shape And Wear

Outline the natural lip edge with a liner, fill the center with lipstick or gloss, and blot before a second thin layer when you want longer wear. Keep balm under matte color light so the formula can grip evenly.

Remove Makeup Gently

Long-wear color should be removed with patience. Press remover onto lashes or lips before wiping, then cleanse skin and follow with moisturizer. Avoid scrubbing, especially around the eye area.
