01. Do your skincare at least one hour before your makeup appointment. This will allow plenty of time for your products to soak into your skin before your stylist goes in with the heavier makeup products. Depending on your skin type, we would recommend a gel based

02. Exfoliate your skin two days in advance. Know your skin type and choose an exfoliating method that works for you! Whether a chemical exfoliant (like BHAs and AHAs) or a gentle physical exfoliant (such as dermaplaning), refreshing your skin in this way 48 hours before your appointment will noticeably brighten your skin! Note, if this is not something that is already a part of your skincare routine, skip it! Better to not risk a potential reaction if you have sensitive skin :)

03. Drink your water! Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. We’d recommend making sure you’re hitting your daily water goals for at least a full week leading up to your photo shoot. This noticeably hydrates dull skin, can diminish breakouts, and gives you a gorgeous inner glow.

If you follow those three prep steps, I guarantee your makeup artist will be your biggest fan!
