An essential preliminary step, hydration is the foundation for successful makeup. Skin needs to be prepped before applying foundation, powder, and other eyeshadows. Moisturizer or makeup? You won't have to choose anymore.
Moisturize your skin for an optimal makeup base
On the surface of the skin lies an invisible film called the hydrolipidic film. This emulsion of water and fat covers the entire body and continually regenerates. It serves as an external protective barrier against aggression and the growth of microorganisms. However, the hydrolipidic film is a fragile shield that can easily become unbalanced. To preserve it and keep the skin radiant, soft, and supple, it is necessary to apply a moisturizer daily.
The number one reflex of makeup artists, hydration strengthens the hydrolipidic film and significantly improves skin quality. The appearance and effectiveness of makeup are enhanced for optimal results. Hydrating the epidermis also allows for better makeup hold. Foundation glides better onto the skin, powder and eyeshadow last longer and will no longer settle into the small dehydration lines on the face. Generally speaking, makeup is more harmonious and long-lasting on hydrated skin.
How to choose the right moisturizer before makeup?
To be effective, moisturizer must be suitable for your skin type, condition and potential issues.
My skin is combination to oily
Uneven skin texture, shine, and enlarged pores, with or without imperfections, are the hallmarks of combination to oily skin. Combination to oily skin secretes excess sebum, which hinders its natural cell renewal. Because it tends to shine easily, combination to oily skin requires light, fluid formulations to avoid accentuating its characteristic "oily appearance."
She particularly appreciates purifying moisturizing treatments like the Purifying Mattifying Cleansing Jelly. Chilean mint extract boosts the skin's natural flora system, zinc extract cleanses the skin to effectively fight imperfections and limit their reappearance, while glycolic acid refines the texture and limits pore clogging. The skin is clear and radiant, ready for makeup. A little extra from Payot for top-notch makeup: the SOS Shine Mattifying Papers. Compliant, discreet and easy to slip into any bag, they absorb excess sebum and mattify the skin in one step for an even complexion at any time of day.
My skin is dry
Dry skin lacks lipids. The hydrolipidic film is unable to retain water on the surface of the epidermis, and it evaporates more easily. Lacking radiance, slightly grainy, and prone to tightness, dry skin requires highly nourishing and hydrating care tailored to its condition. It loves rich, creamy, and enveloping textures. The Super Comforting Balm calms dry skin and soothes feelings of discomfort. Made with coconut, sweet almond, and raspberry seed oils, it leaves the skin revived, strengthened, and soft, without a greasy finish.
My skin is dehydrated The Source range offers a unique solution for thirsty skin: adaptogenic hydration. It draws inspiration from the powers of plants with extraordinary resilience, such as Reishi mushroom and marine algae, to deliver tailored hydration for up to 72 hours. Skin is covered in a protective veil that limits water evaporation. It regains its bounce, suppleness, and natural radiance.
Dehydration is a temporary condition of the skin linked to external factors such as changes in temperature or an inadequate skincare routine. Highly stressed and a target of external aggressions, the epidermis must constantly adapt to maintain its proper functioning and, by extension, maintain its water balance. When circumstances become too challenging, the effectiveness of the skin's defense system weakens and water disappears from the inner layers.

My skin is sensitive
Reactive skin manifests as feelings of discomfort, tingling, burning, and sometimes even redness. To care for it, there's only one key: gentleness. Moisturizing sensitive skin requires dedicated active ingredients to rebalance the skin's ecosystem, strengthen the hydrolipidic film, and calm signs of hypersensitivity. This is what Crème Nuage offers. This cream prevents the appearance of redness and provides emotional skin with the serenity it craves.
Between skincare and makeup: focus on tinted creams
Versatile and easy to apply, tinted creams, also known as BB and CC creams, are positioned at the intersection of skincare and makeup. More fluid and less opaque than a real foundation, these 2-in-1 treatments camouflage minor skin imperfections while moisturizing. Their pigments adapt to most skin tones and blend into the epidermis for a natural finish. The skin is protected, illuminated, and enhanced in one step.
Tinted creams can also combine several functions. The Perfecting Tinted Cream SPF30 Gray Paste blurs imperfections. This chameleon-like treatment with a universal nude shade hydrates, unifies, and mattifies the skin. The My Payot Radiance Tinted Cream SPF 15 harmonizes and illuminates the complexion for a beautiful daily glow*. Its encapsulated pearls and pigments enhance the skin's natural radiance. The CC Cream SPF50 No. 2, meanwhile, is a real asset against redness. Its calming action prevents the appearance of signs of skin sensitivity, leaving skin feeling comfortable and healthy. In addition, tinted creams often contain an SPF to protect the face against the harmful effects of solar radiation.
