A great makeup base isn't about covering everything, it's about creating an even, fresh foundation that lasts all day. The secret lies in both skin preparation and the order in which you apply your products. Here, we guide you through the most important steps to building a base that feels natural, glowy, and comfortable.
1. Always start with skincare
Before applying makeup, it's important that your skin feels good. Cleanse your face and moisturize with a cream that suits your skin type. Moisturized skin makes makeup look better and feel more comfortable, it's the foundation for a perfect base.
2. Primer – your skincare hero
Many people jump straight to foundation, but a good primer makes a big difference. A skin-nourishing primer evens out the skin's surface, hydrates and makes makeup last longer. Our Radiance Primer Glow contains hyaluronic acid, niacinamide and panthenol – ingredients that nourish the skin while giving it a natural glow. Perfect if you want an inexpensive primer that feels luxurious on the skin.

3. Foundation that gives a natural glow
A cheap foundation doesn't have to feel cheap in quality. Our Radiance Foundation blends into the skin and gives an even, silky finish with a natural glow.
💡 Tip: Start with a thin layer in the center of your face and work outwards. Need more coverage? Build in thin layers instead of applying too much at once.

4. Concealer – how do you actually do it?
After foundation, it's time for concealer. Many people wonder: concealer, how do you do it and where do you get concealer? The basic rule is simple:
- Under the eyes to hide dark circles.
- Around the nose to cover redness.
- Directly on blemishes or unevenness.
Our concealer is an affordable concealer with a formula that feels creamy and lightweight. It is a vegan concealer that moisturizes while providing coverage, perfect for a natural finish.
5. Loose powder for a matte and even finish
Do you want your base to last all day? Then loose powder is a smart step. Our transparent loose powder mattifies, sets and gives a natural finish without feeling heavy. It is invisible on the skin but keeps your makeup in place, perfect for those of you who easily get shiny during the day.
💡Tip: Want maximum radiance? Only apply powder to the areas where you get oily or where you know your makeup will fade the fastest during the day.

6. Setting spray that locks in your look
The last step in your base routine is a good setting spray. Glam of Sweden Pros Setting Spray has a light mist and makes your makeup stay put and feel fresh all day.
