Makeup Prep
Learn the essential preparation steps that create the perfect canvas for your makeup application.
Skin Preparation
Proper skin preparation is the foundation of flawless makeup application. A well-prepped canvas ensures that your makeup applies smoothly, lasts longer, and looks more natural.
Cleansing
Start with a gentle cleanser to remove any dirt, oil, and residue. This creates a clean canvas for your skincare and makeup.
Exfoliation
Regular exfoliation (2-3 times weekly) removes dead skin cells, creating a smoother surface for makeup application.
Moisturizing
Hydrated skin holds makeup better. Choose a moisturizer appropriate for your skin type and allow it to fully absorb.
Priming
Primer creates a barrier between your skin and makeup, fills in pores and fine lines, and helps makeup last longer.
Color Theory: Trends in 2025
Understanding color theory is essential for creating harmonious makeup looks that complement your unique features.
In 2025, makeup color trends are embracing both natural enhancement and creative expression. Understanding how colors work together and complement different skin tones is key to creating stunning makeup looks.
The color wheel is your best friend when selecting makeup shades. Complementary colors (opposite on the wheel) create contrast and make features pop, while analogous colors (adjacent on the wheel) create harmony and subtlety.
Your skin's undertone—warm, cool, or neutral—should guide your color choices. Warm undertones pair beautifully with golden, peachy, and earthy tones, while cool undertones shine with rosy, blue-based, and silver-toned products.
Soft Terracotta
Earthy terracotta tones are dominating 2025, offering warmth and versatility across skin tones.
Neo Mint
This refreshing pastel green brings an unexpected pop of color to eye looks and is surprisingly wearable.
Lavender Haze
Soft lavender tones create ethereal, dreamy looks that complement a wide range of skin undertones.
Golden Hour
Warm golden tones that mimic sunset light, perfect for creating a radiant, sun-kissed glow.
Blush Berry
Rich berry tones that work beautifully on lips and cheeks for a coordinated flush of color.
Serene Blue
Calming blue tones that create striking eye looks and complement warm-toned makeup.
