Preparation:
1. Prepping the Canvas: Cleanse and Exfoliate
Begin by cleansing your face to remove any makeup or impurities. Follow up with a gentle exfoliation to slough away dead skin cells, leaving your skin smooth and ready for makeup application.
2. Hydration is Key: Moisturise
Apply a hydrating moisturiser to lock in moisture and create a smooth base for makeup. Make sure your skin is well-hydrated, especially during the dry winter months.

Don't forget the delicate skin around your eyes. Apply an eye cream to reduce puffiness and minimise the appearance of dark circles.
