Flawless makeup starts with skin prep. The biggest mistake? Applying skincare in the morning, then waiting hours before makeup. Your foundation needs a freshly plumped + hydrated base to look smooth and seamless. Here’s what I used to prep my skin in this routine: THAYERS Milky Hydrating Toner — snow mushroom + hyaluronic acid for a hydration boost BEEKMAN 1802 Milk RX Advanced Better Aging Cream — rich, smoothing, perfect for mature skin ALASTIN HydraTint SPF 36 — my holy grail tinted sunscreen (wears beautifully alone or under foundation) 💡 Pro tip: If you applied skincare hours ago, revive your skin with a hydrating serum or primer right before foundation. It makes all the difference for glow + smoothness. LTKBeauty LTKOver40
