Showing you top 3 Steps to a beautiful complexion from MAC cosmetics
Step one: Cleansing
Clean all your MAC makeup brushes and applicators with a mild soap or brush cleaner. This should be done well before using the brushes, so they have ample time to dry. You do not need to clean disposable items such as sponges, cotton pads and Q-Tips. Only clean those items that are reusable.
Cleanse your face using a mild cleanser. MAC cosmetics provide the best types of cleansers that are those that remove oils and makeup all at once. Don't use a facial scrub directly before applying makeup, as this may lead to irritation.


Step two: Moisturizing
Prepare your face using moisturizer, anti-wrinkle serum, oil prevention gel, or any other products you use between your face and your makeup. Allow time for moisturizers to sink into the skin before applying the MAC makeup products or continuing to Step three.


Step three: Applying foundation
Apply foundation to the skin. Use a flat, wide makeup brush to apply foundation. Gently swipe the brush in the foundation, then working from the center of the face outward, gently sweep the foundation onto the skin, being sure to cover any blemishes or other problem areas as you go. MAC cosmetics are so good that you can easily realize if you use one of the MAC cosmetics like foundation.
