Quick Answer

Use a dry, lightweight beauty oil like Love & Light Beauty Oil as the last step in your skincare prep. Apply 2-3 drops to damp skin after moisturizer, let it absorb for one minute, then follow with your foundation or tinted moisturizer for a natural, luminous glow.

Why Choose a Lightweight Beauty Oil for Makeup Prep

Not all face oils work well under makeup. Heavy oils can cause foundation to slip or separate, while dry oils absorb quickly and leave a smooth, non-greasy finish. Love & Light Beauty Oil is designed as a dry, lightweight facial oil that sinks in fast, making it an ideal base for glowy makeup. It’s available in two shades—Blaze and Flicker—so you can pick a tint that complements your complexion without adding extra color to your base.

How to Use Beauty Oil for a Glowy Makeup Base

  1. Step 1: Start with Clean, Damp Skin: Wash your face and pat it dry, leaving skin slightly damp. This helps the oil spread evenly and lock in hydration. Apply your regular serum or moisturizer first. Common mistake: Applying oil to completely dry skin can make it feel heavy. Damp skin helps the oil absorb better.
  2. Step 2: Warm 2-3 Drops of Oil in Your Palms: Dispense 2-3 drops of Love & Light Beauty Oil into your palms and rub them together gently. This warms the oil, making it easier to press into the skin rather than rub it. Checkpoint: If you use more than 3 drops, your skin may feel slick. Stick to 2-3 for a balanced glow.
  3. Step 3: Press the Oil into Your Face and Neck: Using your palms, press the oil onto your cheeks, forehead, nose, chin, and neck. Avoid dragging or rubbing. Let it absorb for about 60 seconds until skin feels smooth but not sticky. Common mistake: Rubbing the oil can disturb your moisturizer and cause pilling. Pressing keeps the layers intact.
  4. Step 4: Apply Your Makeup Base: Once the oil has absorbed, apply your foundation, tinted moisturizer, or skin tint. Use a damp sponge or a stippling brush for a natural finish. The oil will add a subtle, luminous sheen through the makeup. Checkpoint: If you prefer a more dewy look, skip powder on the high points of your face. The oil will continue to give a soft glow throughout the day.
