Makeup Guide For Beginners Prepared By The Experts
Have you ever gone shopping for new cosmetics and been completely bewildered by the variety of choices? Your shopping cart may start to appear unnecessary after a time, and every make-up instruction on YouTube may start to seem like noise. You are not alone if you experience this. We're offering you a quick refresher on all the fundamentals, whether you require a makeup for beginners guide or enjoy experimenting with the newest cosmetic trends.
Let us do a quick recap stepwise and guide you to the ultimate make-up journey!
Complexion Products:
Primer: Available in gel, cream, or spray form, primers help smooth out the surface on which you apply makeup by concealing small wrinkles and minimising big pores. We like this step because it makes the makeup apply smoothly, last longer, and prevents cakey looks.
Foundation: You should always keep at least one reliable foundation on hand, even if you are a beginner. The purpose of foundation, which can be applied as a liquid, cream, or powder, is to balance out your skin tone and cover any flaws.
Advice: You may purchase foundations with several degrees of coverage, from light to medium to full coverage foundations.
Concealer: Concealer is used to mask a variety of imperfections, including as dark circles, breakouts, acne scars, and more, or to provide brightness beneath the eyes. You may choose a concealer with a matte or dewy finish depending on the appearance you like. We appreciate the fact that there is a coverage level for every preference, much as with foundation.
Highlighter and contouring: The flawlessly chiselled features we frequently see on celebrities and influencers are the result of two makeup techniques: contouring and highlighter. Highlighter brings the brightness forward, while contour colours always recede, meaning they will add depth. Together, they give the broader perspective. Since everyone has various skin types, we advise experimenting with liquid, powder, and cream formulations to see what looks best on you.
Blush and Bronzer: When it comes to starting makeup, contour and bronzer are frequently confused. But it's crucial to keep in mind that while bronzer gives a beautiful, sun-kissed hue that highlights and lifts your cheekbones and other features, contouring creates shadows. Powders, creams, and liquid bronzers are all available. On the other hand, blush, which is available in liquid, powder, and cream forms, is used to impart a tint of colour to your cheeks.
Setting Products: There are a few products available to set your makeup. Setting powder accomplishes the task well when we want to keep a look in place. Applying finishing powder, which also produces an airbrushed look, allows us to conceal pores and smooth out fine wrinkles. Setting spray does the trick when we want to keep our appearance secure while also adding a hint of dewiness.
Eye Products:
Eyeshadow primers: While most primers for your skin contain silicone or water, we advise priming your lids with specific eyeshadow primers since they provide additional grip. This makes it possible for your eye makeup to last all day.
Eyeshadow: To draw attention to your eyes, you can use eyeshadow, which is a coloured powder or cream applied to your eyelids. The colours are available in a range of tints and textures, including satin, duochrome, shimmering, and matte. They have varied amounts of coloration as well.
Eyeliner: Eyeliner is used to draw attention to the eyes, make them appear larger, and alter their appearance. We alternate between using gel, liquid, or pencil eyeliner depending on our mood (as well as the amount of time and patience we have available at the time).
Mascara: Using mascara, you may increase your eyelashes. You may use mascara to give your lashes the appearance of being longer, thicker, darker, or all of the above, depending on the formula.
Eyebrow Accessories:
Eyebrow Gel: The brow hairs are kept in place using eyebrow gel. Typically, the formula is clear, coloured, natural, or extra-hold.
Eyebrow Pencil: An eyebrow pencil is used to fill in hairs and gives you the most realistic finish possible. A tiny tip not only produces strokes that resemble actual hair, but, according to Sesnek, "the wax texture mimics real brow hairs."
Eyebrow powder: Powder works wonders for filling in sparse areas and is a terrific option for novices. In fact, you can get the similar result with eyeshadow if you don't have any powder on hand. Just make careful to choose a colour that closely matches the colour of your eyebrows.
Lip Products:
Lip primer: It is used to keep lip cosmetics in place and provide a smooth surface for them to adhere to.
Lip Pencil: Before applying lipstick, use a lip pencil to define the boundaries and improve the contour of your lips. This procedure is followed since it also stops our lipstick from bleeding. Additionally, we contour our mouth with our lip liner and softly overline it to produce a larger pout.
Lipstick: Lipstick gives your lips colour and accentuates how large your mouth is. It is offered in a wide range of formulations, including matte and liquid lipstick, and it is available in every colour imaginable.
Lip gloss: This product gives lips a glossy sheen and is available in variety of colours and formulas.
