Honestly, any cleanser will do as your first step. Just this alone is super crucial for your foundation to go on like the dream you never want to end

This is one of the most satisfying steps in this list. This step is a great way to remove any dead skin and unclog your pores. My personal favourites are the L’Oreal sugar scrubs. They do an incredible job of really cleaning out your pores and double as a lip scrub too. The post scrub glow is super satisfying.

Toners do a great job to close up your pores after the previous two steps. These Nip + Fab pads are my go to, especially on days where I am breaking out. They do an amazing job of both providing another cleanse and calming the skin down. The glycolic and witch hazel work in amazing harmony for retexturing the skin.

I have been addicted to Ole Henriksen’s Banana Bright Eye Cream for almost a year now and it is such a good under eye brightener pre makeup. Really brightens up the under eye and there is always a very pleasing factor to the before and after.

I love slathering moisturizer all over my face and neck. This Clinique one goes on like water and plumps and hydrates like nobody’s business. An amazing base pre makeup!

This is the last step before applying foundation but I find it to be so amazing to spray this in between foundation and concealer application as well. The blending is crazy good and the skin is super glowy. Foundation really settles in well and looks absolutely flawless.
