Makeup Goes On Better When You Shave Your Face? Here’s Why

If you’ve ever wondered why your foundation doesn’t always sit the way you want it to, or why your highlighter doesn’t quite pop, the answer might not be in your makeup bag - it might be that peach fuzz on your skin. The secret? Facial shaving.

By removing peach fuzz and creating a smooth, even canvas, makeup applies flawlessly and lasts longer. Here’s the glow-up science behind it.

Peach Fuzz: The Makeup Saboteur You Didn’t Know You Had

Peach fuzz: the fine fluffy hair on your face is completely natural. But when left untouched, it can cause makeup to cling unevenly, leaving a patchy or textured look. Foundation settles on the tiny hairs, powders look chalky, and creams lose that seamless blend.

When you remove peach fuzz with an electric facial shaver, you instantly transform your skin into a silky canvas, letting your products do their job the way they’re supposed to.

Why Shaving Makes Makeup Look Flawless

Using our Facial Shaver before makeup isn’t just about removing hair, it’s about prepping skin for the ultimate finish. Here’s why makeup artists swear by it:

• Smoother texture: Foundation glides on evenly, without clinging to fine hairs.
  

• Longer wear: Makeup adheres better to freshly shaved skin, meaning fewer touch-ups.
  

• Natural glow: Shaving also gently exfoliates, sweeping away dead skin cells for a brighter look.
  

• Better blending: Cream blush, bronzer, and highlight melt seamlessly into the skin.
  

• HD-ready skin: Perfect for photos, events, and that no-filter glow.
  
  

How to Use a Facial Shaver Before Makeup

1. Start with clean, dry skin. No makeup or skincare.
   

2. Hold the shaver at a 45-degree angle. Use short, light strokes.
   

3. Target makeup-prone areas. Focus on cheeks, jawline, and upper lip.
   

4. Follow with hydration. A light moisturiser or primer locks in smoothness.
   

5. Apply your makeup. Notice how it glides on effortlessly.
   

Pro tip: Keep your Facial Shaver clean with the included cleaning brush for best results.
