Do we really need to contour and apply bronzer? Do we really need so many different shades of lipsticks, eye shadows, pencils? Well, there are for sure special occasions when the makeup we wear has to change, it becomes shiny, bolder and new. But for real, everyday life, the best choice is to do it simple. Whether you’ve totally mastered your everyday makeup look or you’re just a beginner, we could all use a refresher when it comes to what’s in our cosmetic case. Here are some must have products you need, at any age, to create a simple, fresh an natural makeup:
- a good foundation that suits to your skin type and color
- a bright concealer
- an eye-shadow in light bronze or rose gold
- a black mascara
- an eyebrow gel (transparent or dark, if you have dark eyebrows)
- a blush in pink
Foundation evens out your complexion, smooths over imperfections, and comes in three forms: liquid, cream, and powder; avoid powder if the skin is mature and has fine lines. Concealer is meant to add an extra layer of coverage over dark spots, pimples, scars, or wherever you want more coverage; anyway don’t overuse it! Blush is used to add a flushed color to your cheeks and comes in liquid, powder, and cream formulas. The better way to use it is tapping it with the fingers. Mascara is used to define and enhance eyelashes. Depending on the formula, you can make your lashes look fuller, thicker, longer, or darker. The best choice is always black.
Eyebrow gel keeps unruly brows in place, so it’s quite ok to use it. If you have fine lines and the skin is mature, start with a primer, before the foundation, it uniforms the skin, makes it smoother and softer. Not all primers are created equal, so to achieve the best results, it’s best to select the right primer for your skin type. Always cleanse and prep your skin with the moisturizer that’s right for your skin type. Makeup will never lay properly without it. Remember that you don’t need to use the foundation all over the face, you can just tap it on the T zone and blend it well with a good brush. If you have lines, skip setting powder, in the end it might look as a mask. When it comes time to apply eye makeup, the choice is really up to you. Depending on where you’re headed and what you plan on wearing, you can tailor your eye makeup to match your mood.
If you love lipstick try with a special shade of red, choose it wisely and feel super confident while wearing it.
