Exfoliating is a crucial step and you shouldn’t skip it before you go ahead and apply heavy make-up for the day. Exfoliate your skin to get rid of the dead skin cells with a micro-bead scrub or a thin cloth.

If you want your face to be make-up ready, then you shouldn't miss out on moisturising. Moisturising lotion with a mattefying effect works wonders and it doesn't leave those unwanted oily patches on your face. Also, a moisturiser ensures your make-up dosen’t turn dry and flaky. Look for a moisturiser with a lighter consistency to help keep your make-up in place throughout the day.

A primer helps lock your make-up and creates a layer between your skin and the products you use. Chose a silicon free primer as these stay on longer, since silicon usually rubs against the base make-up causing friction, hence fading the make-up away.

The foundation essentially consists of your base make-up, and this can get tricky while applying. The foundation brings about a thick layer onto the face, so it is best to opt one with a medium coverage. Medium to full coverage foundations last longer than sheer coverage or BB creams. You could still use a BB cream or a foundation with a lighter consistency as long as you have a clear skin.

We often find the T-zone of our face shining due to oily skin. To manage this better, a mattifying press powder could be applied to set the foundation better. Avoid caking on too much during the process of application. Use a powder puff to set the foundation under the eyes, but use a large powder brush to gently press in and brush out the excess for the rest of the day.

You shouldn’t have your cheeks looking pale after a few hours, due to the make-up fading away. For this, apply cream formulas and then dab powders of the same shade, lightly to have the tinge of colour prominent.

You cannot afford your eye make-up to go all over the place especially if you are on-the-go throughout the day. Use water-proof eyeliner and mascara and smudge-proof cream shadows for your eyes. You could also use a while liner on the lower lash line for a dewy and natural look.

Lip colours may tend to dry up and fade away quickly. For long lasting lip colours, use a lip liner or lip stain before you use a lipstick. As for your lip stick, opt for a moisture and flake-free lip colour.

The final touch up is essential to ensure your make-up is proper, before you step out or whenever you can alter a few things around. A finishing spray is just ideal for a radiant look. This product helps keep the humidity and pollution away from your skin.
