Why do we wash our face before applying makeup? We wash our face because it gives you a smooth, clean face to work with.

What kind of products should I use? I like St. Ives Apricot Scrub to exfoliate, Sea Breeze toner to tone and Aveno positively radiant moisturizer.

What Is primer? Why do we use it? Primer is a base used to create an even surface on your face, allowing your makeup to last longer. This is my favorite, Stila One Step correcter.
