In a world where makeup has almost become a part of our daily lives, no one wants to leave the house looking like a clown. Getting a professional beat your face every time can be expensive as well as a hard task. Since makeup artistry is something that is learnt over time and needs a lot of practice, we have put together a list to have you on your way to slayageville!
Primer & Moisturizer
Before you run to find your foundation shade, it is important to pick up a moisturizer and primer to prepare your skin for the foundation. It is very important to always prime your face to create a protective layer for your skin. At the end of the day, great makeup starts with great skin care.
Concealer & Foundation
To avoid caked-up foundation, you should pick up a creaseless opaque concealer. This will help you hide some imperfections and you will end up using less foundation. You know good quality foundation cost some coins and this is a nice way to keep your investment in check. Pair the right concealer and foundation for that flawless look.
Eyebrow Pencil, Gel and Spoolie
The brows are an important part of your look as they shape your face. You can get a good eyebrow pencil and gradually transition to a get. The advantage of a gel (pomade) is that it is beginner friendly and easy to apply. The spoolie brush just helps make the eyebrows look natural by adding that feathery feel. It is easy to find brands that have a double sided brow pen plus a spoolie.
Eyeliner and Mascara
Grab a nice volumizing mascara and you do not have to struggle with those pesky false lashes. Mascara opens up your eyes and makes you look alive. You can start with a tip eyeliner pencil as it is the easiest to use and that will just add depth and dimension to your face.
Nude and Red Lipstick
For most of us, lipstick is the one thing we start experimenting with when it comes to makeup. It seems easy enough and is easily available. Pick a nice nude color and a red lipstick and you don’t have to worry. With time you can end up finding your signature lip color but when starting out, these two will have you covered be it day or night.
Brushes and Tools
To get you going on your makeup journey, you will definitely need to get the right tools to make the process easier. You can pick some affordable brushed when starting out and pick up the better quality as you advance your technique. Just make sure you pick brushes you will actually need and add to them as you go.
Highlighter
When you wear foundation, you can use other products to return the dimensions to your face since it becomes blank and flat. Use highlight on the parts of your face where the light hits. You can also add some blush to make those cheek bones pop.
Eyeshadow
A neutral eyeshadow pallet is the best way to go. Don’t start off with crazy colors because eyeshadow is the hardest part of makeup. It takes time to master the craft and figure out what works for you. Especially with terms like cut crease and hooded eyes floating around. You want to be certain what looks best for you and works with your overall style.
