Having your makeup done is very easy, either by doing it all by yourself or by getting somebody else to do it for you. I could tell you that you have done other harder things than doing your own makeup. You are just a few products and easy techniques or a makeup artist away from being a made-up girl. However, no matter how much we want it the easy way, it is not really budget-friendly to have a makeup artist do your makeup every single or any other day. Therefore, when starting your makeup journey, it is essential to choose brands that sell affordable products since it is usually a trial-and-error phase.
You are probably a beginner in the makeup world and you’re probably wondering where to start. But first I would like to remind you why you might want to touch up your face using makeup. One, makeup enhances your already beautiful facial features and is not by any means supposed to change your absolute appearance. It also gives out that you made a little bit of effort to look better that day. Two, your facial texture as seen after applying makeup is dependent on how well you take care of your skin underneath and not the makeup itself so it’s okay to still see some texture with a fully made-up face. Lastly, I would like to remind you that you look fantastic with your flaws, with or without makeup and this should not mean hiding. Shine in your flaws, superwoman!
As you start this journey, pay attention to the following 6 products.
- Foundation
Choosing a foundation that matches your skin tone is one of the first things to do when starting your makeup journey. It is at times a daunting task as your skin color may slightly change depending on the weather changes. However, having a foundation shade that suits your most-of-the-time skin color is a plus. It is also important to note that the quality of the foundation you choose can make or break your makeup look. The foundation should not be too runny for long wear or too thick that it feels like mud on the skin.
2. Mascara
Just mascara on its own can drastically elevate your looks. That made-up look you see in girls that have individual lashes with no makeup, you too could have it with just mascara. Getting a volumizing and lengthening mascara is a good start for you.
3. Eyeshadow Booklet
Eyeshadow palettes can be quite expensive hence hindering you from trying a variety of looks and colors for practice. However, instead of looking for palettes, you could look for a booklet that carries all your desired colors ranging from nudes and pastel colors for everyday looks and bright color ranges for creative looks. Fleur D’Neem cosmetics has a booklet containing 72 colors that would be great for a start. It goes for Kshs. 2500, a win for the benefits, right?
4. Concealer
After applying the foundation, an even base of a solid color is created. This creates an illusion of unnaturalness thus a concealer comes in to fix the bright points of your face. Normally, our faces have different shades on different parts of them. Hence while doing your makeup, it is important to bring your face back to normalcy despite the enhancements. This creates a more appealing look. Finding a concealer that is either your shade or one shade lighter than your shade will definitely do the job.
5. Makeup brushes
Applying your makeup by hand or just beauty blenders can be very messy. Even that aside, the coverage left by applying makeup with a brush is unmatched. Therefore, investing in a good and affordable brush set can deem you ready for a good makeup experience.
6. Powder
You are now done with the makeup application and probably need to set it to last long. A good setting powder can set you up for a long day of makeup wear.
Now that you have all the information required for a start, go forth and be your best self.
