Sometimes, we are ignorant of the right product and techniques which results in blunders. . So, here are some secrets that will surely help out.

What Makeup Products to Buy For Beginners?

These are some basic products that you should buy as a newbie:

1.    Primer:

    To make the look long lasting and to get the smooth face canvas to work with, we need to first properly prep and hydrate the skin. Then to blur out the pores or smoothen the skin surface we need a good primer. Primer forms a protective film between the sebum and the foundation. 

    This primer must be transparent so that the shade of the foundation is not influenced by that of the base. The foundation is applied over the primer with the help of your fingers or the special foundation brush. Avoid applying foundation with a sponge, especially if you want a natural and perfectly uniform effect.

2.   Foundation:

    If not applied in a correct way or in right shade, it can ruin the whole look. Always use foundation according to your skin type as there are different formulations for dry, oily and combination skin types.           If you have combination or oily skin, opt for oil-free options because they cope with excess sebum, increasing persistence in high thermal conditions. And if you have a dry dehydrated skin go for hydrating formulations.

      Avoid using foundations in scorching weather, instead use a bb/cc cream or a good tinted moisturizer with SPF.

3.   Powder:

    It is meant to fix the foundation layer underneath and to control the shine on the face. It comes in different forms i-e: compact, loose, translucent and banana powder. Compact powder is easy to carry as compared to loose or translucent powder and comes in different shades.
            However, translucent powder being colorless can be used for every skin tone. Its works great for every skin type and prevent creases.

4.   Eyebrow Eyeshadow:

Remember that the eyebrows are a barrier that does not allow perspiration on the forehead to enter the eyes. Therefore, their exposure is maximum and must be defined as naturally as possible. 

If you do not want to opt for all kinds of creams, waxes, or eyebrow gels, first use the eyebrow pencil and then fix it with colored eyeshadow like dark brown or brunette for extra persistence.

5.    Waterproof Base:

In order to keep the look last a long time without transferring, a primer or a waterproof eyelid base must be applied. This base can be in a light but neutral shade (beige, gray) and so we can build up more on it, in your favorite foundation shades. The adhesion of the eyeshadow is optimized by this eye base by its persistence and easy diffusion.

6.   Eyeshadow:

We should not directly apply eyeshadow on bare skin. Instead we should apply a high coverage concealer or eye base followed by powder application. This will eyeshadow from creasing and transferring. 

 If you have a more precise hand, then use waterproof eye products, but be careful that they dry instantly on the eyelids, leaving a tattoo effect, ideal for a summer make-up, without the care of retouching for the eye contour.

7.   Mascara:

Choose the waterproof version to prevent it from leaking or transferring. Insist especially on the root of the eyelashes and less on their tip. This way you will get a defined depth and contour of the eyes.

8.   Lipstick:

Transfer proof and matte liquid lipstick is by far the best option for you can go for creating an effortless look. With well-hydrated lips in advance, lips are contoured and the lipstick is applied, either with the applicator or with the brush for extra precision. 

     Remember that the lips will dry if you do not apply  lip balm or gloss, but at an interval of 2 minutes after the liquid texture of the lipstick has dried. Otherwise, you compromise its formula and it doesn't persist.

9.  Blush:

This product, which complements the face appearance, should be applied taking into consideration skin tone and undertone. Liquid or creamy formulas will wear off very easily in direct sunlight. 

      If you have applied translucent powder all over your face after blush, then it will help to stay powder blusher for relatively much longer spreading this texture should be very easy and you can guarantee symmetry if you also use a natural hairbrush.

Final details

    At the end, to keep your look in place you can apply fixing sprays that are readily available in markets. At a distance of about 20cm spray it on your face. It forms a film that seals all the products you have applied and thus you will thin the retouching gestures. 

    For retouching, you need mattifying wipes to absorb excess sebum, probably removed within 4-5 hours after you finish your look (only if you have followed the proposed steps). 

    On the T zone, apply the powder to set the area it helps to prevent sebum and shine on the T-zone. Power will help out even out the whole look and gives a mattifying finish. Therefore, this compact powder must be a lighter shade than the foundation shade so as that face doesn't look too dark.

Other Tips And Tricks

Besides these, there are some tips and tricks too that are listed as follow:

1. When you came out of the shower don't immediately start applying the cosmetic products these will not last long - leave your face for a few minutes before applying anything.

2. After applying the foundation, apply a thin layer of powder, it will provide long lasting and mattifying effect.

3. The use of exfoliant prepares your face for building a smoother and gorgeous look, being essential for creating a smooth surface and lengthening the resistance of face products throughout the day.

Foundation Application

    If your face does not have very visible problems such as acne, pimples, etc., there is no need to apply foundation all over your face. You can apply concealer on the dark circles, the nose (for people with rosacea started), and redness areas (spots, if any). 

    It is very important to use a mineral powder for people having oily acne prone skin (natural look) to fix the foundation and to give it a uniform appearance.

    Like the face, the eyelids need a good base for the eyeshadow to last. So, either choose a foundation as a base or a special base for the eyelids (it is commercially available). 

    The reason why the eyeshadow transfers, tightens or creases in the fold is either the lack of a base, or it has not been fixed well with a powder. Only after you have passed this step, you can start applying eyeshadow or pencil.

 Eyeshadow and lip pencil

    Before applying the shadow, eyes first should be prepared using eye base and then fixed with some loose or compact powder. This application will allow the eyeshadow to stand out and pop and make them stay for a much longer period of time.

    For lips, if you are using a lip pencil for outline, filling or contouring then you should fix it the matching lipstick to make to long lasting.
