Be honest—how many times has your go-to foundation clung to dry patches by mid-morning or slid off your T-zone by lunch? 🙋♀️ You’re not alone, and the fix isn’t more makeup—it’s nailing skin prep first. Your makeup is only as good as your skin “canvas.”

Dry skin needs dewy serums, oily skin should skip glow boosters. We’ve got pro-approved picks for all budgets: First Aid Beauty brightening pads, La Roche-Posay micellar cleanser, Neutrogena hydrating gel, etc.

Pro tip: Layer lightly, let each product absorb fully, adjust to daily skin needs. Silicone primers work with most skincare. What’s your non-negotiable prep step or holy grail product? Let’s chat!
