Flawless makeup is applied long before the first brushstroke. Preparation decides how products sit, blend and last — here is the order that works.
Cleanse, but keep it gentle
Start with a mild cleanser to lift overnight oil without stripping. Skin should feel fresh, never tight — tightness means the barrier is stressed.
Mist while skin is damp
A fine hydrating mist on damp skin helps every later layer absorb evenly. Press it in with palms rather than letting it air-dry.
Moisturise for your skin type
Dry skin loves a richer cream like our Lush Glow Cream; oilier types do better with a thin, gel-like layer. Wait two minutes so it sets.
Prime the zones that move
Eyelids, smile lines and the nose crease most. A targeted primer layer there keeps colour true until evening.
Give each layer a minute to settle and your makeup will look freshly applied at 6pm. Shop the prep ritual: Fresh Dew Face Mist, Lush Glow Cream and DreamSkin Primer.
