bits and bobs about makeup prepping...

skin prepping is very important.
as the face is the canvas of all, the skin must be well prepared before putting on any makeup.
Obviously, I can't put too much of skin care in my make up kit. So, its depending who am I gonna made up for.
For a start, I'd love to use Shishedo Cleasing Lotion wipe off the excess oil and dirt on the face before i apply any lotion or creme.
For model wise, normally I will used those oil free based make up moisturizer, like Bobbi Brown Protective Lotion SPF15 which contain Vit E and chamomile. So it will calm and soothe the skin. Then make up based I'd like to use are Shu Uemura under base cream or MAC Strode creme b4 applying the foundation. As make up base will help foundation goes smoothly over the face. If one who has dehydrated problem, I will use Clinique moisture surge, it good for thirsty skin.

For cover girl, I will always prepare some other premium products. kan...mak datin, diva, celebrity, kena la pamper sikit ya. Lol...
La Mer Moisturizing cream is my fav product for mature skin, as it will smooth up the fine line and give the skin instant radiant glow. Or,
Chanel Hydramax + Active Moisture Fluid for much normal mature skin
My secret weapon for quick fix on tired and dulled skin is I will use
Clarins Baume Beaute Eclair. As in my own experience, it will really help those dulled skin became alive. It always in my kit (life saver purposes too), emergency use for whoever needs it.
And eye creme is important too, my favorite eye creme is MAC Fast Response Eye Creme, as its contains caffein exact so it can reduce the puffiness instantly and smooth fine line as well round the eye area. And for those who has laughing line and deep line underneath the eye, Good Skin Labs Tri-Aktiline helps instantly filled up the gap and give the skin a lift.
