The Foundation of Beauty
The beauty industry has shifted its focus from heavy coverage to the 'skin-first' philosophy. We have learned that the most professional-looking makeup application is not just about the products you put on top, but the condition of the canvas underneath. Good skincare is the foundation of beautiful makeup, acting as the bridge between dull, textured skin and a glowing, seamless finish.
Starting with a Clean Canvas
The journey to a perfect makeup look begins with proper cleansing. Without a clean surface, makeup can cling to dry patches or settle into pores. The Beauty of Joseon Green Plum Refreshing Cleanser 100ml is a perfect starting point. 
This purifying facial cleansing gel effectively removes impurities and excess oil using mild cleansing agents. Formulated with 24% Japanese apricot hydrolate, it helps tighten the skin and neutralize harmful free radicals, ensuring your face is ready for the next steps.
Hydration and Brightening: The Prep Work
Once your skin is clean, it needs nourishment to ensure your foundation sits smoothly. Incorporating a toner like the Mary & May Vitamin B5+Bifida Toner helps replenish skin nourishment. 
This toner is rich in Vitamin B5 to moisturize and calm the skin, while bifida ferment lysate strengthens the skin barrier and softens dead skin cells for a smooth, radiant complexion.
For those aiming for extra glow, sheet masks are an essential pre-makeup treat. The MARY & MAY - Niacinamide Vitamin C Brightening Mask is designed to brighten dull skin effectively. 
These masks help balance sebum activity and suppress melanin production, creating a clear and clean base.
To seal in that radiance, follow up with the HUXLEY Secret of Sahara Essence Brightly Ever After. 
This brightening essence reduces pigmented skin and evens out dull skin tones using Sahara Prickly Pear Seed Oil and Vitamin B3, ensuring your skin looks healthy even before you reach for your foundation.
Protecting Your Glow
Finally, no skincare routine—or makeup look—is complete without sun protection. The BENTON Skin Fit Mineral Sun Cream SPF50+, PA++++ is an excellent choice for those with sensitive skin. 
Beyond protecting against UVA and UVB rays, this cream contains Niacinamide to reduce dark spots, witch hazel and cica to soothe, and Tocopherol to moisturize, all while leaving a fresh feeling that acts as the perfect protective layer under your makeup.
Why This Routine Works
- Smoother Texture: By removing dead skin cells and hydrating, your makeup will not cake or flake.
- Longer Wear: Well-moisturized skin holds onto foundation far longer than dry, thirsty skin.
- Natural Radiance: Using brightening ingredients ensures you need less concealer and highlighter.
