I put together this video showing you how I prep my face for makeup.

How I prep My Skin For Makeup

I have combination skin and I mean combination, I have oily or shiny moments in the T zone, then absolute desert dryness on the sides, especially under my eyes, it is something I am struggling with. My eyes get severely dry and it shows up with fine lines and wrinkles.

Looking at me naturally you can see them, but when I apply makeup or concealer for my dark circles anything and everything finds their way into the cracks of my eyes, so I have learned a few tricks to help.

I learned that it is not the concealers job to fight my fine lines and wrinkles, its mine!
I have to hydrate that area. No matter what I plan on applying in that area it going to enhance those lines they are to deep to cover. So hydration is key here.

I apply 2 oils and 1 eye cream and so far its helping, no not a miracle, but its better than nothing.

As far as the rest of my face I do apply my serums, anything I can to keep my skin hydrated especially before makeup, thats when the truth comes out! Your makeup will move on oily areas and completely flake away on dry areas.
