Transcript

I have dehydrated skin, some people mistake it for dry skin. Watch if you're dry and oily. I have dehydrated skin that produces a lot of oil and I like to wear a lot of powders. My skincare prep for before makeup. Dehydrated skin and dry skin aren't the same. Dehydrated skin needs topical moisture, feel that tightness until things feel plumped up. So for those wondering, oh, my god, how does your foundation always glide on so smoothly? It's because my skin is very, very well hydrated. I spend a lot of time massaging the products into my skin, and then I skin a chance to absorb the products prior to putting on my face makeup. I literally take a fan to kinda to speed up. I'm in a but I will let it sit on there. I want my a lit from within look, so I'm using this One Size, like, glowy serum. You can put your makeup, it on on makeup, also mix it in with your makeup. It's not really it's just like a like a sheen if you will, like a glow. So because I want my skin to look extra wet and dewy, I'm actually mixing the foundation as the foundation as together on the hand with my fingers to warm up the product. That way, when my skin, me a little bit more coverage. And you notice I'm taking a dense brush and I'm pressing it into my skin. In my professional opinion, pressing, uh, face products into the skin, foundation or a concealer or cream, blush or a powder, it really to keep the application nice and smooth.
