Skin Care Basics
The importance of skin care before makeup
It is important to take good care of your skin before applying makeup. By improving the condition of your skin, the finish of your base makeup will be much better. Especially from your 40s, dry skin is often a concern. That is where moisturizing plays an important role.
The importance of moisturizing and how to do it
Moisturizing is essential to keep skin moisturized and make your makeup stick better. Dry skin can cause your makeup to come off easily. Use lotions and creams that contain moisturizing ingredients to thoroughly moisturize your skin. For example, products that contain **highly water-repellent "sweat-resistant film agents"** will prevent your makeup from coming off due to sweat.
Massage for lifting
Facial massage can have a lifting effect. It improves blood circulation and helps restore firmness to the skin. Try using the pads of your fingers to gently massage your entire face. This will help even out your skin tone and make your base makeup techniques more effective.
Lifestyle habits to keep your skin healthy
The health of your skin is also greatly affected by your daily lifestyle. Diet, sleep, and stress management are important for maintaining healthy skin.
Balanced nutrition
A nutritionally balanced diet is the basis for supporting healthy skin. Be sure to eat foods rich in vitamins and minerals. Vitamins C and E in particular have the effect of helping skin regenerate. This will improve the clarity of your skin and make your makeup look even better.
Adequate sleep and stress management
Adequate sleep is essential for skin recovery. Lack of sleep can lead to dull skin and wrinkles. Getting a good night's rest and managing stress properly are important. Taking time to relax will help maintain your physical and mental health, which will improve the condition of your skin.
Base makeup techniques
By mastering base makeup techniques, you can bring out the transparency of your skin and give a youthful impression. Here, we will take a closer look at how to choose and apply base and foundation.
How to choose a foundation that brings out the transparency of your skin
Choosing the right foundation is important to bring out the clarity of your skin. According to Taniguchi , it's important to choose a foundation that matches your skin type and the image of the skin you want to achieve.
How to choose the right foundation for your skin type
Choosing the right foundation for your skin type can make a big difference in the finish of your makeup. If you have dry skin, you should choose a foundation rich in moisturizing ingredients. If you have oily skin, a foundation that controls sebum is appropriate. If you have combination skin, you may want to use a different foundation for each part.
How to properly apply the base coat
Applying a primer properly will help your foundation stick better. Take a small amount and spread it evenly from the center of your face outwards. Use your fingers or a sponge to gently blend into your skin. This will even out any imperfections in your skin and make it look more translucent.
How to choose and apply foundation
Foundation is an important item for creating a natural finish while covering skin imperfections.
Foundation that covers wrinkles and blemishes
To cover wrinkles and blemishes, choose a foundation with good coverage. Be careful not to apply too much foundation, and aim for a natural finish by applying a small amount thinly. Taniguchi also says that the key to achieving a translucent look is to not apply too much foundation.
Techniques for creating a natural finish
To achieve a natural finish, it is important to spread the foundation evenly over the entire face. Use a sponge or brush to gently pat the foundation onto your face for an even finish. Finally, lightly press with face powder to help your makeup last longer.
Techniques to prevent makeup from coming off

If your makeup comes off, it can be a worry all day long. Here, we will introduce how to choose products to make your makeup last longer and tips for touching up your makeup.
Choosing products to make your makeup last longer
Choosing the right products is key to making your makeup last, especially a foundation that lasts and a setting powder.
How to choose a foundation that won't come off
When choosing a foundation, choose one that is resistant to sweat and sebum. For example, a foundation that contains a highly water-repellent "sweat-resistant film agent" and a "sebum solidifying powder" will keep your makeup from coming off for a long time. It creates a thin film on your skin, creating a finish that is even more beautiful than bare skin.
How to use Soft Matte Pressed Powder
Soft Matte Pressed Powder is the perfect finishing touch to your makeup. This powder softly hides pores and creates a smooth, beautiful complexion. It's easy to use. Take an appropriate amount on a sponge and spread it from the center of your face outwards. This will help your makeup last longer and keep your finish firm for a long time.
