Okay, babe, let's talk about the golden rule of makeup that everyone should know but somehow still gets wrong sometimes. When applying makeup, what goes on first?
Drumroll, please... primer! Yep, primer is your first step after skincare. Think of it as the foundation before the foundation — it smooths your skin, blurs those little pores we'd rather pretend don't exist, and gives everything you apply next something to cling to. Without it? Your makeup might as well be skating on thin ice.
So here's your game plan: Start with clean, moisturized skin. Then, dab on primer and let it settle for a minute (you know this, multitask those lashes). Next up, foundation or concealer — whichever calls your name that day. After that, build your look with blush, bronzer, eyeshadow, liner, the works. Finish with a spritz of setting spray and you're golden.
