As professional make up artists our tutors know that getting the base right is key to creating the perfect look. Moisturiser is the best way to give a client that glowing, dewy complexion everyone loves. You don’t have to spend a fortune but do remember to buy the best that you can afford whether that means La Prairie or No.7. And don’t be shy putting it on – foundation sits better on a moist base of cream and primer. Remember too that younger clients have naturally more moist skin so you can use a lighter cream while more mature clients, say the mother of the bride benefit from a richer mixture.
Some of our favourites are:
- No 7 Essential Moisture
- Cosmo readers loved Nivea Visage and so do we
- Clarins Multi-Active
- Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream
- Liz Earle Super Skin moisturizer is great for mature skin
And if you win the Lotto, try this La Prairie Skin Caviare Premier Collection but at €450 a jar you might want to keep this one all to yourself.
