According to a 2024 study by the global beauty research institute Albon Cosmetics, well-hydrated skin can improve the adherence of base makeup by up to 35%. This figure goes beyond a simple skincare effect and shows that the finish of makeup is already determined during the skin preparation stage. In other words, how you prepare your skin beforehand matters more than how skillfully you apply makeup.
Why Hydration Determines Makeup Adherence
You may have heard that some skin just takes makeup better. Anyone who has experienced foundation or cushion settling naturally without lifting when the skin texture is even and the oil-moisture balance is stable already understands the difference firsthand.
The fact that skin hydration directly affects makeup adherence is a simple but important principle. When the base changes, the result changes as well. Skin filled with moisture has a smoother surface, allowing base products to spread evenly and stay put without lifting over time. On the other hand, when skin is dry or flaky, it is difficult to achieve the desired result no matter how good the base product is.
Ultimately, the pre-makeup routine is not just a hydration step. It is the process of building the foundation for every color makeup step that follows. As this principle is confirmed on real skin, skincare that refines skin texture and supplies sufficient moisture is becoming an even more essential pre-makeup routine.
The More Sensitive the Skin, the More Soothing Should Come First
There is one part that is easy to overlook in skincare. When you choose products with strong active ingredients because you want to solve skin concerns quickly, they may actually worsen your skin condition before makeup.
Ingredients with strong exfoliating or renewing effects, such as alpha-hydroxy acids, beta-hydroxy acids, and retinoids, often come with irritation responses after use, including burning sensations, stinging, and tightness. When base makeup is applied onto sensitized skin, lifting is felt before adherence, and discomfort is felt before a natural finish.
That is why on days when your skin feels sensitive before makeup, you need a soothing routine that comforts the skin first rather than strong ingredients. Ingredients like Centella asiatica extract, which help soothe and support skin recovery, play a practical role in these situations. They help quickly stabilize skin reacting to external irritation and bring it to a condition where makeup can be applied smoothly.
When choosing skincare products, asking whether they suit your skin right now before asking how strong they are is the real standard that determines the quality of your makeup finish.
How the YURICO5 Routine Connects to Pre-Makeup Skin
The order of soothing the skin first and then adding color may seem simple, but it is not always easy to keep in an actual routine. YURICO5 reflects this order directly in its product lineup.
Skincare Steps That Fill Skin with Soothing Care and Moisture
The Two in One Cica Mask comes in 8 varieties, allowing you to choose according to your skin condition that day. It is based on Centella asiatica extract, an iconic soothing ingredient, and uses an eco-friendly bamboo sheet to enhance essence absorption. This daily mask pack excludes 5 ingredients, including parabens, alcohol, artificial colorants, amines, and mineral oil, and focuses on replenishing moisture without irritating the skin, making it easy to use as a pre-makeup routine even on sensitive days.
The Daily Madecassoside Cream and Serum are based on CICA and help deliver soothing care and hydration at the same time, supporting a more even skin texture before makeup.
A Natural Finish That Follows Skincare
Le Biel Luminous BB Cushion is a product certified by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety for triple functionality, including brightening, wrinkle improvement, and UV protection. It works as a finishing step that naturally follows skincare. Within one routine, the flow is completed by preparing the skin thoroughly with skincare and finishing with a functional base.
On days when makeup lasts long and looks natural, the answer is usually found in how well you cared for your skin the day before. This is where the meaning of the YURICO5 product lineup becomes clear.
If you want to do makeup well, you eventually come back to the skin. Even the best base product cannot deliver the desired result if the skin condition does not support it. On the other hand, when the skin is fully prepared, even one lightweight product can create a different finish. A routine that layers a functional base over soothed, moisture-filled skin. That single order is quietly transforming the finish of makeup.
