Know Your Skin Type, Transform Your Makeup
Have you ever wondered why a foundation that looks stunning on your friend seems to slide right off your face by midday? Or why a product that promises a dewy glow leaves you looking greasy instead? The answer almost always comes down to one thing: your skin type.
Understanding your skin type is the single most important step in choosing the right products and building a routine that actually works for you. Yet so many of us skip straight to the makeup counter without really knowing whether our skin is oily, dry, combination, normal, or sensitive. In this chapter, I will help you identify exactly what your skin type is and explain what that means for every product choice you make.
But knowing your skin type is only half the story. Once you have identified it, your skin needs to be properly prepared before any makeup goes anywhere near it. I will walk you through the complete cleanse, tone, and moisturise routine that professional makeup artists rely on, with specific tips tailored to each skin type so you can create the perfect canvas every single time.
Whether you are a bride-to-be preparing for the most photographed day of your life or simply want your everyday makeup to look and feel better, getting your skin right is where it all begins.
