Is it recommended to apply foundation immediately after moisturising or wait for it to absorb into the skin first?

Let me paint you a picture: so you have just finished your skincare routine and slathered on your moisturiser, your skin’s feeling all dewy and hydrated, which is perfect and you’re ready to jump right into your makeup routine. But hold up! If you don’t let that moisturiser sink in to the skin first, you're asking for trouble. Trust me, your makeup is about to go on a wild ride.

When you apply makeup immediately after moisturising, it’s like trying to paint on a wet canvas. Your foundation won’t know where to stay... It's going to slide around like probably separate. That perfectly blended contour you were dreaming of? Forget it. Instead of cheekbones that could cut glass, you’ll have a blotchy mess that looks like you applied it in the dark. And your concealer? Oh, that’s going to settle in all the wrong places, most likely crease even though you have set it making lines... so not the flawless look you wanted. As for that glow you wanted from your highlighter? its more like a sweaty greasy look. Like eyu not thanks not the look you were going for, right?

Now, let’s go back rewind and do it the right way. After you apply your moisturiser, take a breather... not just a breathe in breath out exercise give it a good few minutes to really soak in. When your skin is hydrated and dry to the touch, that’s when you know it’s ready for makeup.

Our Personal Recommendation:

An award winning baked creamy weightless foundation that self adjusts with light to medium coverage

Once you let the skincare do its thing, your makeup goes on smooth, your foundation looks flawless, and your contour is so sharp it could slice through anything. That highlighter? Prepare to be asked what you're using, because people are going to be in awe of your sun like glow.

Bottom line: let your skincare sink in and your makeup will look chef’s kiss flawless. Skip the wait, and you’ll be out here looking like your face is melting. Not cute!
