Why create a makeup routine?
Implementing a beauty ritual brings several benefits. This allows you to save time because you know which products to apply and which actions to perform. You also know how your makeup will look, because you do it every day, and you don’t risk having to start all over again if the result is not conclusive. Finally, you know how to highlight your assets using a few products and a few gestures.
Steps to build your makeup routine
Preparing your skin before makeup
It is necessary to apply moisturizers to your skin before applying makeup:
- on the one hand so that your epidermis remains in great shape and maintains its radiance;
- on the other hand so that the makeup stays in place longer and is more uniform.
| Good to know:
Healthy skin allows you to apply makeup lighter and faster. All you have to do is simply accentuate its natural glow and work on the strong points of your face. You don’t waste time concealing blemishes and redness, or hiding a dull complexion. |
To properly prepare your skin, all you need to do is use at least:
- a cleanser;
- a moisturizing cream adapted to your skin type (dry, combination with a tendency to oily, sensitive, etc.);
- daily care with light SPF (for sun protection)
Depending on your skin type or your skin concerns, you can also include a toner, an eye contour treatment and a serum (radiance booster, anti-imperfections, anti-wrinkle, etc.).
Identify the essential products for your beauty
Mascara, eyeliner, blush, eye shadow, lipstick… There are many makeup products. Some of them may be useless to you, either because you don’t use them as a rule, or because they are not essential for your daily makeup.
This is often the case with eye shadow, eyeliner and lip pencil, which are used to create a more complete makeup look, unless of course you particularly like one or the other.
Take the time to target the essential products according to your preferences, the strengths of your face (eyes, mouth, etc.) and the expected result. Also choose a neutral or timeless color, perfect for everyday life, such as brown or black mascara rather than blue, or a nude lipstick, rather than bright pink or matte red.
Proceed by area
A natural and effective beauty treatment is based on:
- an even complexion;
- a luminous look;
- and sublimated lips.
Complexion
To correct your complexion and unify it quickly, or even mattify it if you have combination or oily skin, you can use a fluid foundation, a BB cream or a powder. Select a shade adjusted to your skin tone, a texture that you like and that is easy to work with, as well as a formula that suits your needs (mattifying, with SPF, etc.).
In addition, a concealer can help you correct your dark circles and refine your complexion.
The look
To highlight your eyes, you can’t do without mascara! It draws the eyes and gives them intensity. Depending on your desires (or the time you have), you can add a line of pencil and/or a touch of eye shadow in beige or pink tones.
Also take a few seconds to brush your eyebrows.
Lips
You can opt for a nude, beige or pale pink lipstick, a tinted balm or a gloss, depending on the texture and finish you prefer. Choose only a sober shade or one close to the natural color of your lips for a simple beauty look.
You can also add a little life to your complexion by applying a little blush to your cheeks.

To build a simple daily makeup routine, focus on an even complexion, radiant eyes and well-groomed lips. You just need to choose a few products (a BB cream, a mascara and a tinted balm for example or a fluid foundation, an eye pencil, a mascara and a lipstick) and prefer sober shades, which offer a natural finish, and textures that are easy to apply. Also consider creating a facial care ritual, before applying your makeup, around a few essential products (cleanser, moisturizer and sun protection).
