Malaika Arora, who has been in the fashion and beauty business for a long time, recently took to Instagram to share her six essential skin prep steps before makeup. Coming from her, these are sure-shot tips you can keep handy the next time you’re applying makeup. Take a look!
Hydrating the face is essential for better absorption of makeup products. Malaika begins by using a generous amount of face mist. It instantly refreshes the skin, adds moisture, and gives it a healthy sheen. This step also ensures the skin doesn’t feel dry and helps makeup last longer.
The second step in Malaika’s routine is massaging her face with a jade roller. This helps reduce puffiness, boosts blood circulation, and contours the face, making it look firmer before applying makeup. It also calms the skin.
Next, Malaika uses a Gua Sha tool, which reduces puffiness, improves circulation, and softens fine lines and wrinkles. She recommends using it slowly and gently, without stretching the skin. It also helps tone facial muscles.
The under-eye area is key in any makeup routine. To reduce puffiness and hydrate this delicate area, Malaika uses under-eye patches. This helps create a smoother base for products like corrector and concealer.
While many forget the neck, Malaika ensures it’s well-moisturised beforehand. This step smoothens the skin and prevents it from looking dry, helping it blend seamlessly with the rest of the makeup.
For her final step, Malaika hydrates her lips with a balm or lip plumper. This ensures smooth lipstick application and prevents chapping.
