Face Oil Before Makeup: Does It Really Work? (The Truth About This Trend)

Okay, so I’ve been messing around with my makeup routine lately, and I stumbled upon something that’s been a real game-changer for me. It’s about using face oil before applying makeup. Sounds a bit counterintuitive, right? I mean, oil and makeup? But trust me on this one.

So, here’s the deal. I started by just experimenting. I have this hemp oil that I use for my skincare. It’s pretty awesome because it moisturizes without making my skin feel like an oil slick. One day, I was getting ready, and I thought, “Why not try putting this on before my makeup?”

My Experiment Begins

• First, I cleaned my face like I usually do. Nothing fancy, just my regular cleanser.
• Then, I took a few drops of the hemp oil and warmed it up between my palms. I gently pressed it onto my skin. I didn’t rub it in like a moisturizer, just a gentle pat all over.
• Next, I waited. This is important. I gave it a few minutes to sink in. I used this time to do my brows or something, just to kill time.
• After that, I went ahead with my usual makeup routine. Foundation, concealer, the whole nine yards.

The Results

Honestly, I was surprised. My makeup went on so smoothly. It was like my skin was this perfectly hydrated canvas. And the best part? My makeup lasted longer. Usually, I get these dry patches, especially around my nose and forehead, but with the oil, it was like they disappeared. My skin looked glowy, but not the greasy kind of glowy. It was more like a healthy, dewy look.

I kept doing this for a few weeks, just to make sure it wasn’t a fluke. And every time, the results were consistent. My skin felt better, looked better, and my makeup? On point. I did notice that I needed a bit less foundation than usual, which was a nice bonus.

Now, I’m not saying this will work for everyone. If you’ve got super oily skin, you might want to be cautious. But if your skin is on the drier side, or even if it’s combination like mine, this could be worth a shot. It’s all about finding what works for you, right?

So, that’s my little experiment with face oil before makeup. It’s been a fun little adventure, and I’m pretty stoked with the results. If you decide to give it a try, I’d love to hear how it goes for you!
