Hi! I have always seen from articles that facial moisturizer is an essential part of the skin prep BEFORE makeup, and that is the only time I use facial moisturizer. I’ve always read to use it before makeup because it smoothes skin’s surface for a more even foundation or concealer application and can even help makeup to stay on longer. I’ve also read that hydrating skin underneath makeup will help skin to look less dull. Applying foundation on dry skin can cause it to look cakey. However, I was just told by an esthetician, “moisturizers don’t hydrate the skin though, so if you’re looking for something to help your dry skin, you need a different product. (I use: face wash, a hydrating serum, sunscreen, and primer before makeup too). You don't need to apply more moisturizer before you do your makeup. Moisturizer is just part of the skincare routine.” I have dry skin but it’s not that dry...I only say that because SOMETIMES my skin feels a smidge tight but that’s it. Anyways, my question for you: Is facial moisturizer necessary to put on before applying makeup? I just thought I’d get a 2nd opinion. Thanks!
Personally I like applying a little bit of hydration before doing a makeup application because my skin is super dry! I do it in my skincare routine in the morning but I always need a little bit of reapplication because it’s just dry all the time! I think it depends on your skin.
Yay! I always get so excited for your Vlogs, they’re so relaxing and make me wana get my life together ❤️congrats on the new home! It’s gorgeous!
Thank you!❤️

How did you first start advertising facials and other services? I feel like facials aren’t as popular as they used to be :/
It’s definitely very difficult but I have a very word of mouth clientele!
