By now we should all know the importance of moisturiser in any skincare regime. What many don’t know, is that there are a few little application tweaks and tricks up every makeup artist’s sleeve that can enhance the hydration and skin-plumping benefits, give light to the skin, and ensure you’re providing the perfect base for any makeup application.
I have discovered three ways to get the perfect moisture levels within the skin.
MB Tip: Dr Le Winns, Private Formula Day Cream Moisturiser Light, SP15 really is the perfect formula for these techniques, giving long lasting moisture and a light texture that absorbs into the skin, sitting as the perfect base for makeup.

Step 1 – Massage
When applying your moisturiser to the skin, use a circular movement — inwards directing out — with your fingertips to gives the face a good massage.
This works to increase circulation and blood flow through the skin, while adding a little colour if you’re complexion is feeling dull and flat
I find the moisture levels are higher when you spend time on the moisture application and there is also less residue (which causes foundation to slip away during the day) left on the surface.
Step 2 – Highlight
In makeup, we add light with highlighters after makeup, but why not extra glow from underneath your foundation? A lit from within effect!
Using a light lotion, dab extra product on the highlight points of the face — mainly above cheekbones — as this extra product on the area will give your skin natural highlights that will show through foundation.
Step 3 – Dilute
On weekends and those days a full face of makeup just won’t it in the schedule, we often we want a quick fix, a smoothing over with a light even coverage.
In these instances, I love to dilute my foundation of choice with my light moisturiser by adding a pump of it to my foundation and mixing them together to create a lighter, well hydrated, easy to apply formula.
With this now light formula foundation you will get an easier blend, higher skin care benefits and greater moisture levels than just wearing your foundation alone, plus a little coverage to even the skin’s tone. It’s perfect for a natural daytime look!
