The Secret to Long-Lasting Makeup Starts with Skincare – Here’s What I Use
The Secret to Long-Lasting Makeup Starts with Skincare – Here’s What I Use
As a makeup artist, one of the most common questions I get is:
“How do I make my makeup last all day without feeling heavy or cakey?”
While technique and product choice play a role, the real secret lies in one thing — skincare prep.
🌿 Why Skincare Matters Before Makeup
Think of your face as a canvas. No matter how skilled the brushstrokes, if the surface isn’t smooth, the results won’t last.
Well-hydrated, balanced skin holds makeup better, prevents creasing, and gives that natural glow we all love — even under foundation.
Over the years, I’ve tried countless skincare brands. But recently, I discovered a Korean skincare line that changed everything for me and many of my clients.
✨ My Go-To Skincare: RIMAN
I now prep most of my clients’ skin using the RIMAN Signature Ritual – a professional-grade, luxury Korean skincare system that deeply hydrates, firms, and balances the skin.
The ritual includes lightweight yet potent steps that:
Replenish moisture (perfect for dry or flaky skin)
Calm redness and sensitivity (great before makeup)
Create a plump, radiant finish (foundation glides on!)
I’ve even had brides comment on how their makeup looked better and lasted longer thanks to the RIMAN prep.
💡 Pro tip: If you're doing your own makeup for a big event, start your routine with RIMAN’s toner and ampoule – you’ll feel the difference instantly.
💖 Final Thoughts
Your makeup will only be as good as the skin underneath.
Whether you’re heading to a wedding, a photoshoot, or just want that glow-up look — invest in the right skincare.
