Flawless makeup? Yes, please! Do you dream of achieving that magic, silky, nourished base that would just be perfect for blending your foundation, concealers and loose powders on top of? We’ve done the work for you and have rounded up our top skin care products for you to finally master the perfect makeup base in just five simple steps…Step 1: Cleanse Away

Garnier Skin Active Natural Rose Water Botanical Milk 200ml, £3.25

To begin your journey to a clearer, fresher makeup base, a morning cleanse if the perfect place to start. Garnier’s cleansing milk is made with natural ingredients such as Rose Flower which is known for its nourishing properties. This cleansing milk gently, yet efficiently removes makeup and impurities while leaving the skin feeling nourished and perfectly comfortable. Using a cleanser day and night works wonders at keeping blemish-causing bacteria at bay!

Step 2: Mask Up

YOUTH LAB Thirst Relief Mask 50ml, £16.50

A nourishing face mask is great for makeup preparation. If you’re getting ready for evening plans, popping on a mask while you’re putting together your outfit or having your dinner is one of the best ways to multitask. YOUTH LAB’s Thirst Relief is a rich creamy face-mask which hydrates your skin in just 10 minutes! It strengthens the epidermal barrier while restoring elasticity, for even and plump skin while restoring smoothness and elasticity for a healthier and youthful look.

Step 3: Smooth OverElizabeth Arden Eight Hour Skin Protectant Cream, £14.95

You can never be too moisturised! A good layer of nourishment is key for ensuring the smoothest makeup application possible. There’s no better feeling than when you’re blending in your foundation and everything glides on so effortlessly. We recommend Elizabeth Arden’s Eight Hour skin protectant cream. In addition to providing dreamy moisture, it soothes minor skin irritations and is a great treatment for chapping, peeling or flaking.

Step 4: Banish Darkness

Super Facialist Dark Circles Eye Cream 15ml, £10.99

If you’re a lover of brightening concealers and baking under your eyes, pre-makeup eye treatments are great for giving you the silkiest base. Super Facialist’s high potency Vitamin C Dark Circles Eye Cream has been boosted with light diffusers to target dark circles under the eye area. Skin brightening Vitamin C, stimulating Caffeine and a proven anti-dark circle peptide combine in this eye cream to help reduce the look of dark circles and the appearance of fine lines.

Step 5: Colour Correct

Gatineau Perfection Ultime Anti-Ageing Complexion Cream 30ml, £37.99

Finally, the last step to master the perfect makeup base is a little bit of CC cream. Gatineau’s lightweight, intensive tinted moisturiser hydrates and protects the skin while leaving a sun-kissed glow. With Gatineau’s Perfection Ultime Anti-Ageing Complex Cream you can achieve healthy, youthful-looking skin with all-day SPF protection when you wear this gorgeous cream.
