Makeup tips for Girl

Navigating the world of makeup can be challenging. While some of our friends bravely experimented with Barbie eyeshadow in 3rd grade, others didn't consider entering the realm of makeup until they graduated high school. Whether you're a late bloomer or an early enthusiast, there's no wrong time to explore the art of makeup.

Everyone has to start somewhere, but that starting place is often unclear. Whenever you decide to take the plunge, we've got some beginner-friendly makeup tips for you. Regardless of your age or the extent of your makeup curiosity, these tips are designed to ease you into the world of cosmetics.

 

Even if you're leaning toward simple makeup ideas, some extra tips will come in handy. Let us guide you on where to start your makeup journey.

Learn your skin type and tone

Understanding your face as the essential canvas for makeup is crucial. Identifying your skin type and tone empowers you to make informed choices in your beauty routine. Tailoring makeup products to your skin type is important; For example, avoiding heavy oils for already oily skin or choosing moisturizing products for dry skin. Knowing your skin type enables you to achieve your desired look while prioritizing skin care.

Similarly, knowing your skin tone is equally beneficial. Considering undertones and overall color helps guide your selection of makeup shades. Choosing the right shade can enhance and complement your natural glow.

Use the right brush

Choosing the right brush for a specific makeup job can make your routine significantly easier. Different brushes are made for distinct purposes and it is essential to utilize this variety. Consider our eyeshadow brush set, which exemplifies this concept:

The flat shadow brush glides effortlessly over the eyelid for a seamless application.

Use the Blending Crease Brush to enhance creases, perfect for detailing.

Achieve precision close to the lash line with the angled liner brush. 

Ensure precise and thorough makeup application by keeping the right brush handy in your makeup bag.

 

Lip liner, then lipstick

Be sure to apply your lip liner before your lipstick for best results. Lip liner enhances the contour of your lips by carefully applying them along the edges, giving shape and definition to your pout. Using a lip liner serves the dual purpose of preventing your lipstick from bleeding or smudging. Starting with a liner is a smart approach, as it simplifies the process, allowing you to focus only on filling in the space between the lines. Once your lips are lined, you can proceed to fill them in using the same liner or your favorite lipstick or lip gloss.

Start with skincare basics

The top tip for makeup newbies is to prioritize skincare! Your skin acts as an important foundation for flawless makeup application. By ensuring your skin is well-nourished and healthy, you can expect your makeup to go on smoother, resulting in fewer breakouts and last all day.

Here are some essential skincare basics for everyone:

Figure out your eye shape

Understanding your eye shape is vital, whether you choose an elaborate makeup style or a more understated look. Your eye makeup is a game-changer to complement your particular eye shape. While the basic cat-eye may seem straightforward in a beginner's makeup tutorial, your unique eye shape can introduce its own set of challenges.

By identifying your eye shape, you can confidently apply eyeliner and eyeshadow that perfectly match your facial features. Find resources that categorize different eye shapes and discover easy makeup tricks to create your unique look.

Apply eyeliner in small strokes

 

After identifying your eye shape and selecting the desired eyeliner style, it's time to apply. Applying eyeliner can be challenging, making every little tip and trick worth achieving the desired look.

Instead of trying to complete the entire application in one stroke, it is recommended to use short strokes. While it may seem like this could result in a patchy line, using shorter strokes can actually contribute to a more even and polished appearance.

Use moisturizer under your makeup

Makeup ingredients have the potential to dehydrate your skin, but using a lightweight moisturizer is a great way to combat dryness. Applying moisturizer lays a seamless base for your makeup. Additionally, including a makeup primer can increase the adherence of your makeup. By combining a moisturizer and primer, your makeup will look flawless, stay fresh and last the day.

Invest in a setting spray

Using a setting spray can relieve any stress or anxiety associated with wearing makeup. Worried about makeup melting, smudging or cracking? A setting spray ensures your makeup stays put, boosting your confidence. Additionally, setting sprays contribute to skin hydration, making them especially beneficial for people with easily dehydrated skin.

Apply foundation on your eyelids

Applying a light eyeshadow like white or beige as a base on your lids will add vibrancy to any of the colors above. This lighter base eliminates the need for your eyeshadow to fight your skin tone.
