Discover How To Get Smoother-Looking Skin on the Face with Skincare + Makeup
Darlings, performing a skin-smoothing skincare routine morning and night can help skin to look and feel its best. Reaching for skincare products that are formulated with hydrating, retexturizing skincare ingredients can help to transform the look of your skin texture and unlock magic skin confidence!
1. Exfoliate to remove dead surface skin cells
Regularly exfoliating the skin on your face will help your complexion to look smoother and more radiant. Exfoliators are designed to shift dead skin cells from the surface of your skin; they remove dry, flaky, chapping skin and reveal a smoother, fresher-looking layer of new, replenished skin. I recommend using an acid-exfoliator like Super Radiance Resurfacing Facial to hydrate and smooth the appearance of skin on the face with the power of AHAs, BHAs and PHAs. The smooth, non-abrasive and bead-free formula exfoliates and hydrates in one step; it helps to refine the look of pores and gives it a youthful-looking glow. Every couple of days, use exfoliator in your skincare routine and leave on for 20 minutes – skin will look smoother and reborn!
2. Hydrate with face serum
After cleansing and exfoliating, it’s important to rejuvenate skin with a hydrating face serum to help skin look smoother, brighter, and plumper. I created Charlotte’s Magic Serum Crystal Elixir to unlock everyone’s best skin future! The research-powered formula is supercharged with hydration powerhouse polyglutamic acid - a humectant that’s 4x as hydrating as hyaluronic acid - that increases hydration and reduces water loss, helping your complexion to look smooth, supple, and rich in moisture. After exfoliating, massage a few drops of serum into your face for skin that looks and feels silky smooth.
3. Nourish under eyes with eye cream
Skin under the eyes tends to be much thinner than the skin on the rest of our faces, and so it is prone to becoming dry and textured. Applying a nourishing eye cream can work wonders for your eye area; I created Magic Eye Rescue as a rich, restorative eye cream that helps under eyes to appear smoother, firmer, and brighter. The formula is infused with time-released retinol which helps to smooth and tighten the appearance of crepey and wrinkled skin around the eyes hour-by-hour, as well as stem cell extracts that help to lift and contour the look of the eye area. Apply eye cream every night and wake up to magic under eyes that appear smoother and rejuvenated!
4. Cushion + retexturize with moisturiser
Moisturising your skin with a supercharged face cream is the secret to smoother, plumper-looking skin. Magic Cream is Magic Skin, darlings, and massaging Charlotte’s Magic Cream into your skin will help it to look and feel smoother, plumper, lifted, and luminous! This award-winning moisturiser is enriched with smoothing-effect peptides and aloe vera and is powered by Cushion + Lift Mesh Technology to create a cushioning effect on the skin that allows makeup to layer beautifully on top. It’s a retexturizer, a skin barrier booster, and a primer in 1 with immediate results – celebrities, stars, facialists, and dermatologists love Magic Cream, and so will your skin! 99% agree skin looks SMOOTHER!*
5. Prime + protect with sunscreen
Applying a makeup primer creates a smoothing-effect barrier between your skin and makeup, helping skin to look smoother and softer and makeup to apply more seamlessly. I love to use my Invisible UV Flawless Poreless Primer to prime skin for makeup while also protecting it with SPF50. The hybrid formula hydrates, blurs, shields, protects and primes skin to prevent damage caused by UV radiation which can contribute to uneven skin texture and sun spots in the long term. Always remember to apply a high-factor sunscreen, darlings… No excuses!
6. Ultra-smooth foundation application
Once you have created a smoother-looking canvas with skincare, reach for a light-coverage foundation like Unreal Skin Sheer Glow Tint Hydrating Foundation Stick to give your complexion a super-smooth, super-natural look. This stick foundation channels the beautifying powers of a ring light, swiping onto the face and instantly smoothing and blurring the look of skin and casting the most unreal glow. It builds beautifully and is perfect for creating ‘no foundation’ foundation looks that leave skin looking natural, radiant, and so smooth!
7. Set, smooth + blur your complexion with powder
Pressed powder is the secret to making your makeup look smooth and flawless. My AIRbrush Flawless Finish finishing powder is globally loved for its smoothing and pore-blurring effects – it’s found in the clutch bags of celebrities and stars at every red carpet and event! A light layer of powder in areas like the T-zone, under the eyes and around the mouth will help to remove unwanted shine and create a silky-smooth, flawless-looking skin finish that looks airbrushed! Gently press powder into the skin to set your smoothing-effect foundation into place and give skin a flawless-looking, cashmere feel.
