Because makeup goes on poorly over skin that isn’t perfectly clean and smooth, the first step in applying beautiful makeup is to start with a gently cleaned face. Following the skin – care recommendations described in the first part of this book will help you get your skin to where it needs to be in order for makeup to look beautiful.
Either your daytime moisturizer or your foundation must be rated SPF 15 and contain the UVA-protecting ingredients of avobenzone (butyl methoxydibenz-oylmethane), titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, ecamsule (Mexoryl SX), or Tinosorb. Makeup without sun protection is only going to set your skin up for an unattractive future.
