You cannot start your makeup with a dry base. Make sure you are moisturized before anything else, and this will help your makeup apply smoothly.
Moisturizing Cream
This creates a tacky base for your foundation that will have it lasting all day. It also hydrates the skin so your makeup products don’t look cakey after application.
Power Grip Primer
This wears so nicely. Paired with the power grip primer, you will have a nice smooth finish. So many shades to choose from
