Are you feeling overwhelmed by makeup products and their application, even after watching multiple online tutorials? A bag full of products may seem intimidating when starting from scratch, as we often don’t know where or how to begin!
Makeup is an artistic form that lets us express ourselves creatively while creating something we enjoy; however, it still has a process and nuanced ways for doing it successfully. Thus, having some tips handy could always come in handy and make our lives simpler; here are a few beginner makeup hacks and tips you may find useful – keep those products close at hand, ready for some mind-boggling results.
Tips for creating the ideal foundation base
Finding an equilibrium between creating even-toned skin and looking as though you have nothing on is tricky but doable; just remember these key points while applying foundation:
- Prepare the skin.
Step one in perfecting foundation application begins with thoroughly cleansing and moisturising skin. Exfoliation helps remove dirt while dead skin cells shed for non-flaky foundation applications; lightweight moisturisers that nourish skin should complete this journey to success.
2. Don’t forget to prime.
Even though adding primer may add another step to your makeup routine, the time investment will prove worthwhile. A primer can smooth out skin texture while making foundation last longer.
3. Work from inside out.
Since most people tend to suffer from redness and marks at the centre of the face, applying foundation from within out can help alleviate redness and marks by starting from your forehead, chin, and sides of the nose area. When applying foundation, start blending outward.
Do not neglect to include the neck and ears when applying foundation; otherwise, the entire base could look odd and unnatural.
Dreamy eyeliners.
Eyeliners can be both love and hate for us all – we appreciate their benefits, but struggle with how difficult they are to master. Achieving perfect winged eyeliner may seem an impossible feat, but we have you covered: here is an eye makeup hack designed specifically to get perfect winged eyeliner on beginners.
Use a spoon as a stencil. Grab one, position its handle near the outer corner of your eye, use liquid eyeliner and draw straight lines on both ends with its handles; now, hugging one with both handles, creating curves on either end – fill in between these lines until your winged eyeliner is complete!
Eye makeup hack: Make Your Eyeshadow POP.
Nowadays, there’s an amazing array of colours and textures for eyeliners available – pink, white, green, blue, and silver being among some of them! Mix these up to add pop and brightness. Pair your eyeshadow with different-hued eyeliners for maximum impact!
Getting the perfect pout.
Makeup would not be complete without flawless lips! A flawless application that enhances their looks stunningly; we have some handy tricks in our bag to help you achieve just that perfect pout.
- Prepare your lips.
Poor lip care practices can leave lips dry and flaky, making applying lipstick an exercise in futility. Exfoliation, hydrating, and moisturizing can all make a significant difference – a lightweight concealer tailored to match your skin tone can then be used to fill in all cracks in the lips and fill any imperfections in their surface area.
2. Lip lining provides added lip protection.
An attractive lip line sets the stage for creating the ideal lipstick look, giving lips proper definition and providing an outline that allows fill-in to take place easily. When selecting lip lining colors to go along with specific lipstick hues.
Now is the moment we have all been waiting for! Apply lipstick evenly around the lips, covering every corner and cranny of the outline; don’t forget to blot with tissue afterwards!
Good brushes: Think of these investments as investments for future use.
More brushes equal more experimentation! While a basic set of brushes will get you through most of the blending needed for YouTube makeup tutorials, having access to quality alternatives and understanding their application may allow for greater variety and variation in looks achieved through YouTube makeup videos. Some essential brushes you should have in your kit include a foundation brush, eyeliner and eyeshadow brushes, as well as under eye blend-out brush (for under-eye blend-in), a contouring brush (to contour under-eye makeup), eyebrow and contour brushes, as well as foundation.
The best light for applying makeup.
Nature offers the optimal lighting conditions to do makeup in. Yellow lighting may exacerbate skin inflammation, while natural lighting gives an accurate representation of how colors will appear when worn outside.
Sharing makeup is a bad idea.
Sharing makeup and brushes can cause serious skin conditions you don’t want to deal with, such as breakouts, worsened acne, germ transmission, and infections in the eyes etc. Sharing is definitely not caring; to remain infection-free free be sure to follow proper makeup hygiene.
As soon as you gather your brushes, eyeshadows, and eyeliners together and embark on your masterpiece creation, trust the process and you’ll soon become an artist in no time – practice truly makes perfect.
