How To Prep Your Skin Before A Big Event!

I don't know about you but I get so anxious about the condition of my skin before an event, the makeup artist in me knows that for a flawless makeup application one must have a perfect canvas. Thanks to the years of beauty product hoarding and well being completely obsessed with makeup I found the perfect routine for me. 

EXFOLIATION is key people, if you ignore everything else in this post don't ignore this part. Exfoliating your skin will not only remove dull, dead skin, it will give you an immediate glow and allow every single product you apply after to go on smoothly and with minimum effort. Great skin will make any makeup you use work to its best potential I promise you. 

Below is my current go to for an instant face glow and makeup ready skin, everytime I do this my makeup looks absolutely stunning and wears all night.

My Review: 

This peeling puff is the bomb you guys, I have purchased this like three times and its so worth it. My skin is left exfoliated, looking brighter, clearer, smother and its so simple to use. 

I love using eye masks, I have puffy under eye bags that are a pain in my butt. I fin that when I use under eye masks they do improve and the concealer wears more smooth and I need less product. One brand I recently used and really liked was Wish Formula panda eye essence. My eyes definitely looked fighter and less swollen after 30 minutes of wearing this mask. 

Lips need love too, I purchased this pack of lip masks from Homegoods for $2.99!!

Finally after exfoliating your skin, you need to hydrate it and give it some nutrients! I love applying sheet masks after I exfoliate so that my skin can absorb all the goodness. 

This one from Peach And Lilly is really nice, I love how my skin feels after I use it and I don't have to rinse it off because it wears great under makeup.
