When it comes to make up, there really is one single most essential make up tip. And that tip is a good skin care regimen. If you let your skin get problematic, you will be forced to wear tons of make up wherever you go, even to places where a light, natural make up look is best (for instance, the gym, camping, daytime occasions, etc.)

Instead of being held hostage by your makeup routine, spend the extra time taking meticulous care of your skin. This includes washing it with a mild cleanser twice daily, using a gentle toner, a non pore clogging moisturizer, and any anti aging skin care products as needed.

If you take the necessary steps to maintain good skin care, you won’t need to wear as much make up in the first place. And, the make up you do wear will look that much better.
