makeup essentials :)
Wether you prefer to go for a glam look, or for a more simple makeup look, here are the essentials that you should have in your makeup bag:
· Foundation
This is going to be the base of the makeup, but there is a wide range of variety, going from full coverage foundations to light coverage skin tints. That being said, you don't need to apply a thick layer of foundation all over your face, you can apply it where needed like to cover redness or hyperpigmentation. It doesn't need to be pricey, there are some pretty good ones that are not expensive at all.
· Concelear
This is basic to have in our makeup bag, to cover pimples, under-eye circles... And if you don't like the feeling of foundation sitting on your face, concealer is going to be your best friend. I recommend the maybelline fit me concealer or the NARS creamy concelealer but there are loads on the market
· Blush
Blush just gives the cutest touch to every makeup look, I personally love the Rare Beauty ones (I use the shade hope). It is important to check the tone of the blush (warm or cold) and your face shape, for the blush placement on your cheeks.
· Bronzer
Bronzer is an essential because it gives such a natural tanned look, i use the terracotta powder bronzer by guerlain, but i also love the hoola bronzing powders.
· Setting powder
Especially if you have mixed or oily skin, or you tend to sweat, i highly recommend having this. It controls shine, and sets your makeup, if you place it on top of the concealer or foundation its going to make the product last longer on your face.
· Mascara
Its a really good way of making your eyes pop. There are lots of types of mascaras (black, brown, blue, clear...) so you can pick the one you like better, lately i have been using the maybelline lash sensational, and i love it. And if you like a more subtle mascara the "They're Real" brown mascara from benefit is amazing.
· Highlighter
Apply cream or powder highlighter to the high points of your face to enhance your natural features.
· Neutral eyeshadows
Applying brown and neutal colours to your eyelid are perfect to add depth to your eye look. If you like to be extra, you can add eyeliner to complete the eye makeup.
· Eyebrow gel
It can be clear or tinted, but it gives such a nice touch to your makeup to have tidy, brushed eyebrows. I heard its really good the Anastasia brow freeze but more affordable brands that have this products are Essence, Elf or NYX.
· Tools
Brushes (for blush, bronzer, eyeshadow, highligher...) a beauty blender if you have cream products that you don't apply with a brush.
