The Beginning
It can be hard to get started with your beauty and makeup routine. You might not know where to start because there are so many goods, lessons, and trends out there. But you don’t need a bag full of makeup or advanced skills to look your best. You can build a simple, effective practice that boosts your natural beauty and grows with your confidence if you start with the right base.
Getting Your Skin Ready: The Base Before the Base
Getting your face ready is always the first step to a perfect makeup look. When it comes to makeup, the smoother and more hydrated your face is, the longer it will last and look better. Cleanse your face to get rid of oil and dirt before putting on makeup. After that, use a light lotion to keep your face soft and refreshed. Do not forget to put on sunscreen if you are going outside during the day. Even when you’re not wearing makeup, you need to protect your face. Finally, use a primer that is right for your face. This makes the skin smoother and helps your makeup last longer.
How to Pick the Right Base: Foundation, Tinted Moisturizer, or BB Cream?
Heavy foundation is easy to use too much of when you’re just starting out. Instead, think about what kind of protection you really need. A colored lotion or BB cream can cover enough for everyday use while still letting your face breathe. If you want more covering, choose a foundation that is the exact same color as your skin and mixes naturally. Pay close attention to the chin and hairline as you mix your base with a makeup sponge or brush.
How to Hide Like a Pro
If you want to hide dark circles under your eyes, even out your skin tone, and light up your face, concealer can be your best friend. For the area under your eyes, pick a smooth makeup that is one shade lighter than your skin tone. For spots or redness, choose a makeup that is the exact same color as your face. Use a small amount and blend it out slowly with your finger or a brush to get a realistic look. The point is to make your face look better, not hide it.
Highlighter, blush, and bronzer are ways to add color.
After setting your base, it’s time to bring your face back to life. Blush can make you look quickly more awake and gives you a healthy flush. Cream blushes are easy for beginners to use because they mix well with your fingers. Adding warmth and a little shape is easy with bronzer. Lightly rub it on the edges of your face where the sun hits you naturally. Put a little makeup on your cupid’s bow, the bridge of your nose, and the tops of your cheeks to make them look beautiful.
How to Do Your Eye Makeup Everyday
You can choose how much or how little makeup you want on your eyes. To start, it’s best to get a neutral eyeshadow set with soft browns, peaches, or rose tones. Put a light color on your lid and a medium color in your crease. Then, blend it all together. Add a thin line of eyeliner close to your upper lashes to make your eyes stand out. Add one or two coats of mascara to make your eyelashes stand out and your eyes look bigger. Putting on makeup will surprise you at how much better you look.
Easy Ways to Do Basic Brows
You can see a big change in how you look just by looking at your eyebrows. Stay simple with your brows if you’re new to makeup. Fill in any gaps with a brow pencil or powder, making sure to follow the natural shape of your brows. A clear or colored brow gel can help them stay put and make you look more put-together. Don’t try to look perfect; just try to keep things neat and natural.
Lips that make you look good
The lips finish it off. A colored balm, gloss, or nude lipstick is great for everyday use. Pick shades that go well with your clothing and skin tone. If you want to make a statement, choose a red or berry shade and make sure your lips are smooth and moisturized before you start. Lip makeup can help outline your lips and keep them from feathering, but beginners don’t have to use it.
Putting everything in its place
Setting powder or spray can help your makeup last all day after you’re done with it. Shine can be controlled with a small dusting of clear powder, especially in the T-zone. With a setting spray, you can keep everything in place and make your skin look more realistic. It’s the last thing you need to do to make sure all your hard work pays off and has long-lasting effects.
Getting better with practice
Do not forget that there is no such thing as perfect makeup. Different people have different traits, likes, and ways of learning. How you feel is the most important thing. You’ll feel more comfortable putting on makeup and find the looks that work best for you the more you do it. Don’t be afraid to try new things, mess up, and enjoy the process.
Last Thoughts
As a beginner, it doesn’t have to be scary to make your beauty and makeup routine look great. Start slowly, work on making your natural traits look better, and get better over time. If you follow the right steps and are patient, you’ll be well on your way to creating your own unique style. Makeup that lets your natural beauty shine through is the most beautiful.
