Woman with glowing skin

SKINCARE FOR MAKEUP WEARERS

WE FIX WHAT MAKEUP CAN'T

If your skin and foundation looks cakey, patchy, dry, or like it's sitting on top of your skin, no amount of makeup will fix it. Only better skin will.

35 years backstage taught us how.

Great Skin. Better Makeup.

What Is Your Makeup & Skin Doing?

Start with the problem you can see or feel, then shop the skin prep routine that fits.

Skincare Meets Makeup Artistry

My reactive, rosacea-prone skin made me picky. Decades in the makeup chair taught me skincare before makeup had to work for many different skin needs.

So I created skincare that puts skin first and plays well with makeup.

Great skincare. Better makeup.

The questions everyone asks.

Skin prep is skincare. But not all skincare plays well with makeup.

Some formulas can feel too heavy, too slick, or too dry under foundation.

Too many layers can also lead to pilling, slipping, or makeup that never seems to sit right.

Sonia Roselli Beauty is a skincare first.

It is made to hydrate, smooth, and support comfortable-feeling skin while also layering well under makeup.

Sonia Roselli developed this approach from both sides of the mirror: as a licensed esthetician and celebrity makeup artist working with complexion since 1990.

Sonia Roselli has worked with skin under makeup since 1990.

She is a licensed esthetician, celebrity makeup artist, complexion expert, and skincare product developer. Her own reactive, rosacea-prone skin also shaped how carefully she thinks about what goes on the face.

That combination of skincare knowledge and decades behind the makeup chair is why Sonia approaches skin prep differently.

The skincare has to work for the skin first.

Then it has to play well with foundation and concealer.

Sometimes the problem starts with the skin underneath.

Dry-feeling skin, rough surface texture, and too many layers can all affect how foundation looks.

Sonia Roselli’s approach to skin prep starts by looking at the condition of the skin before changing the makeup.

Start with smoother-feeling, hydrated skin before assuming you need another foundation.

Pilling, slipping, and separation can happen when skincare is too heavy, too slick, too dry, over-layered, or simply not formulated with makeup in mind.

Sonia Roselli Beauty is skincare first, created from both an esthetician’s and makeup artist’s point of view.

The goal is simple: take care of the skin and give foundation and concealer a better place to sit.

Sonia Roselli Beauty is serious skincare made with makeup in mind.

The formulas use proven skincare ingredients like peptides, ceramides, amino acids, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and squalane because of the job they do for the skin, not because they are having a moment.

We are just as thoughtful about what does not need to be in a formula. No filler steps. No ingredients added just to make a marketing story.

Sonia is a licensed esthetician, celebrity makeup artist since 1990, complexion expert, and product developer. Her own reactive, rosacea-prone skin made her demanding about skincare.

Decades behind the makeup chair taught her it also had to work beautifully under foundation and concealer.

Most products do more than one job. That means fewer layers, a faster routine, and skincare you are more likely to use consistently.

Great skincare first. Better makeup because of it.

Yes.

Sonia Roselli Beauty is skincare first.

Use it on bare-skin days, makeup days, or both.

You do not need a separate skincare routine just because you wear foundation.

Great skincare. Better makeup.
