The Ultimate Guide to Prepping Your Skin Before Makeup

Even the most expensive foundation won’t look flawless on unprepared skin. Makeup can only enhance what’s underneath—so the real secret to a smooth, radiant finish starts with skincare.

At Lumira Cosmetics, our mission is to help you create that ideal base. With gentle cleansers, hydrating serums, and lightweight primers, you can prep your skin for makeup that lasts all day and looks naturally radiant.

Cleanse and Exfoliate

Clean skin is the foundation of flawless makeup. Start your routine with Lumira Cosmetics Gentle Cleanser, a pH-balanced formula that removes dirt, oil, and makeup residue without stripping your skin.

Twice a week, exfoliate with the Lumira Cosmetics Radiant Polish Scrub, which uses fine botanical beads to smooth away dead cells, leaving skin soft and luminous. This step ensures your makeup goes on evenly and prevents dry patches from showing through.

Hydrate and Prime

After cleansing, apply Lumira Cosmetics HydraPlump Serum, infused with hyaluronic acid and peptides, to boost hydration and smooth fine lines. Follow with Lumira Cosmetics MoistureLock Primer, which seals in moisture and provides a silky surface for makeup application.

This combination minimizes pores, prevents foundation from settling into lines, and keeps your makeup fresh all day.

Protect and Set the Stage

Before makeup, always apply SPF. The Lumira Cosmetics Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 protects your skin without leaving a white cast, helping maintain an even tone under foundation.

Give your skin a few minutes to absorb your products before applying makeup. You’ll notice a smoother, longer-lasting finish that enhances your natural glow.

Conclusion: Prep Like a Pro

Perfect makeup begins long before your first brush stroke. By investing in the right skincare prep, you set yourself up for effortless beauty.

With Lumira Cosmetics’s line of cleansers, serums, and primers, you can achieve a flawless base that feels as good as it looks—because real beauty starts with great skin.
