A flawless makeup base starts with well-prepped skin, not a thicker layer of foundation. That's the argument behind a new partnership between Biodance, the Korean skincare brand known for hydrogel sheet masks, and two of the most-watched makeup artists working today, Patrick Ta and NikkieTutorials. The timing matters for your wallet: according to PR Newswire, Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days runs October 6 and 7, with up to 43% off Biodance skincare, including products in the routine.
The two artists posted their routine on Instagram, and it follows a clear order: mask first, then serum and cream, then a mist before makeup, and the same mist again over the finished face. According to PR Newswire, the point of layering hydration before makeup is a smoother, more radiant canvas. Below, we've broken that order into steps you can run at home, with the sale prices dated and checked.
What is the routine, step by step?
The routine has four moves, in this order:
- Hydrate with a mask. Start with the Bio-Collagen Real Deep Mask to hydrate and refresh the skin. The brand's guidance is to leave it on for 3 to 4 hours, or overnight, until the mask turns transparent — that's the signal for full ingredient absorption, per the press release.
- Layer in moisture. Follow with the Caviar PDRN Serum and Capsule Cream to build moisture and radiance.
- Mist before makeup. Spray the Collagen Peptide Jelly Serum Mist onto the skin before you start your makeup application.
- Mist again after. One more pass of the same mist as the final step, over the finished makeup, for added hydration and a fresh, radiant finish.
Notice the shape of it: two hydration layers under the makeup, one on top. That's the part worth borrowing even if you skip the branded products entirely — hydration under and over the base is the technique, and the products are the delivery system.
Who are the artists, and why does it matter?
Patrick Ta is the founder of Patrick Ta Beauty and a celebrity makeup artist whose clients include Gigi Hadid, Bella Hadid, and Ariana Grande, per Morningstar's syndicated copy of the release. NikkieTutorials has spent nearly two decades teaching makeup techniques to millions of viewers. Two artists with that reach choosing to lead with skin prep, rather than foundation, tells you where the base conversation has moved.
Worth knowing: this is a brand partnership, and the release comes from Biodance itself. The routine reflects the artists' demonstrated technique in their own videos, but the product claims — smoothing texture, visibly firmer skin — are the brand's claims, not independent findings. We've labeled them as such throughout.
What do the products cost during the sale?
Prime Big Deal Days pricing runs Tuesday, October 6 and Wednesday, October 7. The three products spotlighted in the routine:
| Product | Discount | Was | Now |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bio-Collagen Real Deep Mask | 26% off | $19 | $13.99 |
| Collagen Peptide Jelly Serum Mist | 30% off | $19 | $13.30 |
| Intensive Caviar PDRN Revitalizing Duo | 36% off | $47 | $30.08 |
The mask discount is, per the release, the largest offered to date on Biodance's signature hydrogel mask. The formula features 150,000ppm of probiotics, collagen, and hyaluronic acid. If you want to test the routine at the lowest entry cost, the mask alone at $13.99 is the obvious starting point.
What is hydrogel, and why is Biodance's different?
Hydrogel is a gel-based mask material, and Biodance's version carries the active ingredients without a fabric base, which the brand says helps the mask adhere comfortably to the skin. The company began in 2021, founded by Mihwa Kim after her own experience with skin damage and recovery. According to Biodance's own release, more than 350 million hydrogel masks have sold globally and Biodance ranks as the No. 1 facial mask brand on Amazon — both figures come from the brand's own release, so treat them as the brand's accounting.

Should you buy during Prime Big Deal Days?
A simple decision path:
- You already follow a prep routine. The mist-before-and-after technique is the transferable idea; try it with what you own first.
- You want to try the mask. October 6–7 pricing at $13.99 is the deepest discount the brand says it has offered on this product. After the window closes, the price returns to $19 at last check.
- You want the full routine. All three items together — mask, mist, and the serum-and-cream duo — come to $57.37 at sale prices, against a combined list of $85.
One practical note: the mask's 3-to-4-hour wear time means this is an evening or overnight step, not a five-minute morning fix. Plan the routine the night before you need the base to hold.
