For Paola, the most important step in makeup is what people aren’t supposed to see or recognize. Paola says, "Foundation + Concealer + toner is a combination of steps that without, you can’t create a good artistic makeup." In other words, this is the canvas, which belongs to a frame. After this, you can draw an infinite amount of things and play with colors on a clean and corrective face.
