My FLAWLESS makeup base secret!


The secret to a flawless base


Hey my loves!

Hope you are well.

Today's newsletter request was from my girl Morgan (@morgsmakeuprise) - go follow her by the way, her makeup is GORG!

We all want flawless glowy skin right?

Let me show you my secret to a flawless base EVERY time.

Now firstly no makeup will look great if you haven't mastered your skincare.

HYDRATED skin is key no matter what skin type you are.

Let's start...

Exfoliating the skin - this removes dead skin cells for smooth skin.

My favourite products for this are the Thayers Hydrating Alcohol-free Facial Toners & Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant.

Moisturising the skin - this is crucial for hydrated, smooth skin to help the makeup sit over the top and reduce chances of flakiness.

My favourite products for this are The Charlotte Tilbury Magic Water Cream & The INKEY List Omega Water Cream.

Prime the skin - this helps with the longevity of makeup and extra hydration.

For hydration, I love the Armani Luminous Silk Hydrating Primer & The Beauty Crop Vitamin Babe Brightening Primer.

For longevity of makeup, I love the Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Primer & The Beauty Crop Oui Cherie Hydrating Gripping Primer.

Glow Booster - now this isn't necessary but if you want the most gorgeous base ever I would highly recommend investing in one of these!

My favourites are the Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter & The e.l.f Halo Glow Liquid Filter.

Now after this, you want to apply your favourite foundation.

Because of these steps above your foundation should apply smoothly and flawlessly!

By the way, I did a post last week of my favourite Natural, Matte and Dewy foundations if you need a recommendation.

Once you've added your favourite cream-based products you want to go in a set the base with a loose powder.

Loose Powder - sets the cream products in place and blurs pores/ texture on the skin.

My ULTIMATE powder recommendation for flawless skin is the Huda Beauty Easy Bake Loose Powder.

Now my last tip once your makeup is finished is to set the face.

Dewy setting mists are personally my favourite because they bring back the natural glow to the skin after all the powders.

The Beauty Crop Oui Cherie Setting Mist is UNREAL for glowy skin.

You can also set it with a long-wearing setting spray - I use the dewy one over the top!


Anyway, that is it for my secret to a flawless base!

I think skincare is super important for any makeup to look good so go and invest in a good toner and moisturiser - don't forget to wear an SPF too!

Don't forget that if you shop at Cult Beauty or Look Fantastic I have discount codes (see end of email).

Feel free to email or DM me if you would like me to write about anything else.

After all, you guys are my favourites! ;)

Have a lovely day xx

Up your camera quality game in 2024… So last year I decided to up my camera game… And WOW what a difference it has made to my content in general. I used to film on the front camera all the time but slowly realised this was not enough for me to grow the platform I desire. Many of my content creator friends always suggested back camera but I used to think it was too much effort! I was wrong. Camera quality is super important when it comes to beauty content… but you might be thinking why? Well...
