One of my secrets is that when I meet a bride with extremely dry and flaky skin, I always exfoliate first, then go to the skin care step and then style the bride's hair bc the skin needs it aslo time to absorb the nutrients from the moisturizer. Second, I always choose foundation with the words Glow, Serum Foudation. Third is the most important thing: "Absolutely do not use a brush to apply foundation on dry skin, but use a sponge with mineral spray on the sponge.” Bc the downward force will pull the dry skin layers along. and will make the foundation look worse and dry when you apply powder. Before applying powder, spray another layer of mineral spray with vitamin C to add moisture to the foundation, then let it dry before applying powder. You will definitely have a great foundation.
