In addition to doing it both in the morning and in the evening before going to bed, you must remember that some steps are fundamental and inevitable.

For years forgotten, little used and seen as an occlusive and comedogenic product, today the primer comes in many versions and references. With or without silicones, mattifying or illuminating, smoothing or corrective: by now it is impossible not to find the one ad hoc for each one.
It starts with corrective agents, perfect thanks to their tone or to the particles contained in it, to correct small discolorations of the skin. Among the most classic is the green primerwhich is ideal for soothing and calming redness: just apply a light layer, even if only where necessary, to obtain a brighter and less reddened complexion. Obviously, to then balance everything, it will be necessary to add a light layer of concealer to even out. Concealer
The world of concealers is really wide: from those colors, to classic nudes to illuminating ones. Whatever your choice, remember that a concealer shouldn’t be missing even if you choose to wear makeup without foundation . Use it in ‘tactical’ points such as the eye contour, bridge of the nose and forehead: in this way you will go to fix the discolorations thus uniforming the complexion and making everything brighter.
Obviously, in case you choose somecolored shades to illuminate or correct what small chromatic defect, do not forget to add a little corrector to dilute the color and make it well homogeneous.

Also, don’t forget not to overdo it when you apply the concealer in the eye area: aim for a lifting effect by applying the product and always blending it upwards. Powder
Usually used to fix the base, the powderand an excellent solution to give uniformity to the complexion without resorting to foundation.
For an on-the-go application choose it compact , also excellent for touch-ups outside the home, while if you have time and dexterity try the free powder one but use very little. In this case, moreover, if you prefer a more homogeneous finish you can easily use a dry make-up sponge that will help you in the targeted application and setting of the concealer. Blush
Blush is a must because, with or without foundation, the complexion deserves a touch of color on the cheeks for a bonne minne effect .
Choose a subtle, subtle colorlike pastel pink or coral: two colors that adapt easily to all skin tones and can be easily modulated according to needs. Always apply it with an angled or round head synthetic fiber brush, according to your preferences and habits.

And the perfect conclusion to any make-up: the highlighter. Whether it is pearly, pink or in shades of ice this product will allow you to add light to the face and will emphasize some strategic points, first of all, the cheekbones.
