Step 01. Cleanse
Start your skin prep by cleansing. This lifts away excess oil and impurities to clear pores and create a smooth base for makeup. Choose a cleanser with fast-acting actives to hydrate the skin without any tightness or dryness.
The REFY Face Cleanse is clinically proven to smooth texture and reduce pores after 4 weeks, with ingredients that deeply cleanse, hydrate and plump the skin. Lather with warm water in your morning and evening routine as the ideal first step to prep skin for makeup.
Step 02. Under Eye
Smoothing the undereye with an eye balm helps to reduce the appearance of dark circles, puffiness and fine lines. The undereye is instantly refreshed, inflammation is reduced, and the skin is plumped, meaning this step to prep skin for makeup creates the ideal smooth base to apply concealer.
The REFY Eye Balm is a weightless formula that is quickly absorbed into the skin, with key ingredients including Caffeine-like Vita, Floral Water and Hyaluronic Acid (HA) to attract and retain moisture, whilst cooling and calming. Apply after cleansing and before moisturising for best results.

Step 03. Hydrate
Once your skin is cleansed and your eyes are refreshed, it’s important to properly hydrate. Hydration is a key step in skin prep, helping to create an even, long-lasting finish. Plump, moisturised skin allows makeup to blend seamlessly.
The REFY Face Sculpt is a fast-absorbing, gel-cream hybrid that provides a unique cooling texture with 24-hour hydration. Key ingredients such as Glycerin and Provitamin B5 help to deeply hydrate, plump and calm the skin, and the unique rollerball applicator is inspired by lymphatic drainage techniques to massage the skin, increase blood flow, cool and de-puff. This sculpts the skin whilst supporting the skin in absorbing the moisturiser effectively.
Step 04. Prep
Once your moisturiser has absorbed, apply a primer to help keep your makeup in place. Primers brighten the skin and create a smooth, even base for makeup to blend seamlessly over.
To brighten and sculpt, choose the REFY Glow and Sculpt Primer to prep skin for makeup, by adding a glowy base while boosting your skin’s natural radiance. The built-in roller applicator helps to reduce puffiness and adds definition. Create a glass-like base that grips makeup in place for 8 hours.
If you have oily skin, the REFY Blur and Hydrate provides all-day oil control to remove unwanted shine. This also creates a smooth canvas for makeup to extend its wear. The cooling metal applicator depuffs and tones the skin, with Hyaluronic Acid that provides an instant boost of hydration.
