How to prepare your skin for Valentine's Day make-up
Valentine's Day is the perfect time to enhance your face with elegant, luminous make-up. However, to achieve a truly flawless result, it is essential to prepare your skin for make-up with a targeted skincare routine.
Well-cared-for skin appears more even and radiant and allows make-up to last longer. Let's take a look at how to prepare your skin for Valentine's Day make-up by following a few essential professional steps.
Facial cleansing: the basis for perfect skin
Facial cleansing is the first step in preparing your skin for make-up. Removing impurities, excess sebum and make-up residue is essential for achieving a clean and even base.
Why cleansing is essential before applying make-up
-
It improves skin texture.
-
It promotes the absorption of subsequent treatments.
-
It prevents imperfections and shine.
Choose gentle, skin-friendly cleansers that are also suitable for sensitive skin to respect the skin's natural balance.
Gentle exfoliation for radiant skin
Exfoliation is a key step in preparing your skin for make-up, leaving it smooth and radiant. It helps to remove dead skin cells and even out your complexion.
When and how to exfoliate your skin
-
Once or twice a week
-
Preferably a few days before the event
-
With gentle, non-aggressive exfoliants
Exfoliated skin allows foundation to adhere better, avoiding a ‘patchy’ effect.
Deep hydration: the secret to even make-up
Properly moisturising your face before applying make-up is essential to avoid signs of dryness and pronounced lines.
Benefits of moisturising before applying make-up
-
more supple and firmer skin
-
greater natural radiance

Face and eye contour primer: the final steps
Before applying make-up, complete your routine with:
