Application of the makeup may seem like a puzzle. There is nothing to get grossly worried about, or lots of big lines of products and complex methods. It only takes a little to get started, take the right steps, and learn what suits your face and what makes you comfortable.
It is a big difference in a smooth canvas. As a first step, you wash your face using a mild wash such as CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser. Use it, then follow with a light moisturizer like Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel Cream. When you have dry skin, applying a lot of moisturizer enables your foundation to primarily stick on.
Use formulas that are easy to use. Neutral eyeshadow palettes, tinted moisturizers, BB creams, cream blushes, and tinted neutral are the best. Such products as Maybelline Fit Me Tint, e.l.f. Putty Blush and Colourpop Nude Mood Palette blend and appear natural.
It is not necessary to have an overdressed day one appearance. Even a bit of foundation, mascara, a bit of blush, and colored lip balm will be able to make you feel fresh and confident. With the practice, you will be able to add eyeliner, contour, or bold lip colors gradually.
Before applying makeup everywhere, take a minute to know your own face. Face mapping can assist you in determining which areas to keep the products in order to highlight your natural features.
Look at your face in natural light. Notice the T-zone (forehead, nose, chin), cheeks, and under-eye area. Some parts may be oilier or drier. This helps you know where to apply foundation lightly or build more coverage.
Highlighter goes on the high points—cheekbones, nose bridge, brow bone, and cupid’s bow. Cream highlighters like Rare Beauty Positive Light are easy for beginners.
Blush looks best on the apples of your cheeks, blending upward toward the temples. For bronzer, sweep it lightly around the hairline, cheekbones, and jawline. Try Physicians Formula Butter Bronzer for a natural finish.
Good makeup tools make the process smoother and your look more even. You don’t need a huge brush kit—just a few basics.
Start with these simple tools:
Dirty tools can cause breakouts and uneven blending. Clean your brushes once a week using baby shampoo or a gentle brush cleanser.
The base routine is the heart of your makeup look. It’s all about creating a smooth layer that enhances your natural beauty instead of hiding it.
Primer helps makeup stay longer and look smoother. If you have oily skin, try e.l.f. Power Grip Primer. If your skin is dry, try The Ordinary High Spreadability Fluid Primer.
Use a beauty sponge for a soft finish. Dab, don’t drag. Start with a small amount and build if needed. Don’t worry if it’s not perfect—blending fixes almost everything.
Place concealer under your eyes, around the nose, or over blemishes. Dot lightly and blend with the sponge. Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer is beginner-friendly.
Cream blush blends faster and gives a natural flush. Use your fingers or a sponge to tap it onto your cheeks. Try the Fenty Beauty Cheeks Out Cream Blush.
Use a fluffy brush to lightly apply translucent powder over oily zones. Too much powder can look heavy, so start soft.
A simple lash curl can instantly make your eyes look awake, happy, and refreshed.
Position the curler at the base of your lashes and press gently. Hold for a few seconds, then repeat toward the middle of the lashes. Try the Shiseido Eyelash Curler—it’s one of the most beginner-friendly options.
Apply one coat of mascara since the clumps are securable. You can apply a second coat a few seconds later and get a lot of volume. L’Oreal Lash Paradise is easy to use for beginners.
When the mascara smears on your eyelids, wait till it is dry. Gently blot it then with a cotton swab. Do not attempt to wipe it when wet, and it will get everywhere.
The last thing is setting spray, which fixes it all in and makes your makeup last longer.
Spray your face slightly with such products as the e.l.f. Stay All Night Setting Mist or Urban Decay All Nighter. They make your makeup last longer, and you do not feel heavy.
Wave the bottle in arms' length and spray in X and T motion. This does not leave the areas between your face wet.
One spritz of your face gives life and radiance back to your face, should your cosmetics begin to grow slightly weary. It feels refreshing too!
The initial time you apply some makeup does not have to be flawless. By just taking the right steps, the right tools, and a soft touch, you will be able to make a beautiful Look that you feel is you, only a little more photoshopped. The basics of Makeup: It is about getting to know your face, being patient with yourself, and building confidence one minute at a time. Slow things down, have faith, and have the fun of trying something new.
Begin with easy-to-use products such as colored moisturizer, concealer, blush, mascara, and lip balm. They are user-friendly and enable you to gain confidence.
The time spent on a simple routine is 5-10 minutes, and you have become accustomed to it. Begin gradually, and you cannot go too fast.
Not at all. Economical brands such as e.l.f., Maybelline, and Wet n Wild are of excellent standard among the first-time users.
