Searching the word "makeup" online will reveal millions of step-by-step tutorials that teach you how to achieve a high-impact look.
However, these tutorials often forget to mention three key details that you should take care of to make your makeup look spectacular.
Today, dear reader, we will reveal the secret to you.
Detail number one and this is basic: hydration
A hydrated face is to skin what a clean canvas is to painting. Before applying any type of makeup, it is vitally important that your skin is clean and hydrated, as this will prevent you from making several big mistakes.
Mistake number one
Many times our skin "eats" makeup, well this is because the skin is dry, most foundations tend to have an oily composition, so the moment they come into contact with the skin and it is dry, the skin thinks it is a kind of compensation for hydration, moisturizing your skin will prevent this from happening.
Mistake number two
This happens especially with women who are over 40 years old, by not having a hydrated face the only thing we do is cause the expression lines to become even more marked, since the powders we apply, mineral or not, what they do is create an effect that ends up highlighting the folds in our face. Using products like cream blush and complementing it with hydrated skin will make us much less likely to fall into this error.
Detail number 2 and this is one that almost all women forget to use primer.
Primers transform our skin, improve its texture, and give a healthy finish to the face.
- They hydrate
- Correct
- Reduce pores
They make makeup like eyeshadow and lipstick last longer. Ideally, apply them with your fingertips, moving upward from the center of the face outward. This, in addition to ensuring effective application, can help stimulate circulation if applied daily, thus improving the appearance of your skin.
So you no longer have any excuses, go to your nearest store and buy a primer, you won't regret it and it will completely change your life. A brand that we recommend is Professional by Benefit. It may seem a little expensive, but believe us when we tell you that it will be a great investment.

Detail number three: using dirty brushes
Using brushes that aren't washed for more than 15 days is highly antigenic and can cause acne breakouts, dermatitis, and even eye infections in the case of brushes used on eyebrows and eyelashes.
This is because bacteria accumulate inside brushes. Washing your brushes regularly will keep their bristles clean and soft, making your makeup application much gentler on your skin and preventing long-term problems.
The ideal thing is to invest in natural hair brushes since these retain less dirt and also distribute the products better, making you need less product, but if investing in natural hair brushes is not in your plans;
You can use a synthetic brush and wash them every two weeks with a mixture of shampoo and olive oil in the same proportions; a tablespoon of both will suffice.
You will determine how much soap you need to wash the number of brushes you have. It is important that once you wash your brushes, you dry them upside down. This will prevent the brushes from accumulating moisture, thus preventing bacteria and fungi from developing there.
