For dry skin, entering the autumn and winter seasons is like facing a formidable enemy. Slowly replacing the makeup used in the summer with richer, moisturizing skincare products, but the skin is still not completely ready for makeup application. Fine lines appear immediately upon applying foundation, and adding concealer only exacerbates the heavy powder feeling. How do Japanese and Korean girls face severe winters every year with zero dry lines and zero powder feeling, achieving a smooth and delicate base makeup like cream?
Whether or not to apply foundation depends not only on the smoothness and extendability of the foundation texture but also on the condition of the skin. In the stage of remedying the situation and replenishing moisture before the harsh winter, if the skin foundation is not good enough, various problems such as peeling and cakey makeup will naturally arise. If you want to easily apply makeup and avoid the above troubles, all you need to do is take one more step!
Before applying skincare and makeup, use a gentle, alcohol-free lotion immediately after cleansing. The lotion not only provides intense hydration but also softens the skin and removes dead skin cells. Take advantage of the fact that the skin surface is not completely dry after cleansing, immediately replenish it with a lot of moisture using the lotion, then slowly layer other skincare products to enhance product absorption, easily achieving smooth and flawless skin without wrinkles or cakiness.
In addition to being a little careful in the pre-makeup skincare steps, you can also add a little moisturizing essence or skincare oil when using foundation. When applying makeup, add 1 to 2 drops of your usual moisturizing essence or skincare oil to the foundation liquid, then mix them with your fingertips to instantly enhance the foundation’s moisturizing effect, making the texture more natural and fitting. However, it is recommended to avoid textures that are more watery or gel-like, to prevent the formula from conflicting with the foundation, causing a more difficult “rubber crumbs” problem than dry lines or cakey makeup.
Replace the usual loose powder setting step with a final makeup spray, reducing the heavy powder feel of the base makeup to a minimum, and achieving a perfect base makeup that is long-lasting for 24 hours and has a moisturizing glow. Learn the above three makeup habits of Japanese and Korean girls in autumn and winter, and you can also have the dreamy smooth creamy skin base makeup without any pressure!
