Glam Tip of the Day: Let Your Skin Breathe Before Makeup

 If you want your makeup to sit well and glow all day, here’s one golden rule:

✨ Let your skin breathe before makeup.

After cleansing and moisturizing, wait at least 5 to 10 minutes before applying your primer or foundation. This gives your skincare time to absorb properly and prevents your makeup from sliding or separating later.

I always tell my students at Karien’s Glam:

“Rushing into foundation is like building a house on wet cement — it won’t last.”

🔥 Bonus Tips:

  • Use a hydrating mist (like rose water) just before priming to wake up your skin.

  • If your skin is oily, blot gently before starting makeup — don’t skip moisturizer!

💬 Your Turn:

Do you let your skin breathe before you beat your face, or do you jump straight in? Try this tip today and thank me later 💁🏽‍♀️
