Get the perfect _base_ before you put on your _face_.

[**Strawberry-C Brightening Serum**](https://volitionbeauty.com/shop/products/strawberry-c-serum/): Not only can you get your vitamin C dose in the AM, but it’s perfect as a start for hydration. This serum has a subtle tack, allowing for face makeup to better adhere to skin, allowing it to last longer. If you want to rock lower coverage, mix 1-2 drops into your foundation for a glowy, natural look.

[**Celery Green Cream**](https://volitionbeauty.com/shop/products/celery-green-cream/): Our celery moisturizer is refreshing yet lightweight so your makeup won’t settle into any fine lines or dry patches. It has hyaluronic acid for hydration and is oil-free so it won't clog pores, weigh skin down, or jeopardize the lasting power of your makeup.

[**Oil-Control Mattifying Mist**](https://volitionbeauty.com/shop/products/instant-mattifying-mist/): If you're having difficulties with your makeup's longevity, use this as much as you can. Super, _suuuuper_ oily skin? Try out the below tips! Even if you aren't as oily, you may want to incorporate 1 or 2 in your routine for ultimate lasting power.

- Generously spritz your makeup sponge so when you're blending your face makeup, you're also pressing in the oil-absorbing ingredients into the makeup.
- Mist after you apply your primers to act as an oil-absorbing priming mist and to ensure there's no oil when applying your face makeup.
- Spritz right after you apply any liquid or creams and then immediately set it with a loose powder of your choosing.
- Give yourself a final spray when you're all done to further lock in your makeup and for a budge-proof look.
- Carry it with you throughout the day and reapply to skin when or if you feel like you're getting oily.
