Every girl should carry these makeup essentials in their makeup bag, be it a newbie or professional or just another makeup junkie.
Foundation
Foundation is used as a base to apply your make-up. Foundations are available in different colours depending on your skin tone. To look more natural with your makeup, you should always get a foundation that is the same colour as your skin tone. Foundations are not meant to whiten your skin, but to hide those unwelcomed scars or spots. While foundations are available in different formulations, you should get a formulation that suits the personalized healthcare of your skin type. For instance; If you have a dry face, use a cream-based foundation so that it doesn’t look patchy. For oily skin, use a foundation that does not clog your pores and gives your skin, a matte look. Always remember to apply foundation on your neck along with your face. You can use a beauty blender or a foundation brush to blend your foundation. Blend well to make sure it looks natural.
Mascara
When it comes to eye makeup, even if you are not a fan of eyeshadows or eyeliners or khol, mascara is essential. A single stroke of mascara can change and add that missing touch to your look. Mascara gives an illusion of fuller and elongated eyelashes. When applied properly, it gives a false impression, that you have applied an eyeliner. Isn’t that great? One product and two benefits! Mascara basically comes as black or clear. Go for a clear one, if you are going for a ‘no-makeup makeup look. Black mascara can also be used as an eyebrow filler if you have scanty eyebrows.
Compact
You need something to hold your base together, once you are done with your properly blended foundation. This is where you use a compact. A compact basically holds your base together, making your makeup last longer on your skin. Compacts are also bought according to your skin tone. There are basically two popular types of compacts, one is in form of a loose powder and the other kind is baked. The baked compact is more travel-friendly. Besides using it as a setting powder, it can also be used to mattify your lipstick. If you think your lipstick is a bit extra glossy, just take a little compact on your finger, and dab it along your lipstick. It will give a smooth matte finish while making your lipstick last longer on your lips.
Lipstick
No makeup look is complete without the application of lipstick. Lipsticks can upgrade any boring look to an alluring look. Lipsticks are basically bought according to your skin tone and undertone. But those are just guidelines and not set principles. You can always go forward and experiment with any colour you love! Have fun with all those pretty colours on the market. Recently, liquid lipsticks have taken over the market. They are available from glossy to super matte. With so many brands, giving you so many options, just go ahead and give your lips the colour you desire. If you are not a great fan of liquid lip tints, you always have an option to choose a tinted lip balm. Tinted lip balms give your lips a pretty colour and moisturize your lips in one go! You can even use pigmented lip liners as lipsticks. But make sure to moisturize your lips for personalized healthcare before you apply them.
These are some personalized healthcare makeup essentials that every girl should carry in her bag. These are available in the market as the high-end as well as the drugstore products. This was a basic guide to help you to understand makeup if you are a beginner and a checklist for the professional ones who already know how to give themselves the look that they desire. So next time you go makeup shopping, you know what you want!
How do you apply lipstick so it lasts?
Once your lipstick is on, blot the excess with a thin sheet or single ply of tissue paper. This takes away the excess oils from your lips, thus increasing its staying power. Apply a second coat of the liquid lipstick to increase the colour payoff and blot again
Should you apply lip balm before lipstick?
The lip balm will soften your lips and make your lips smooth enough for the lipstick to be applied evenly. Opt for a waxy, non-oily lip balm so that there is not much oily residue on your lips. But if necessary you can also wipe off the lip balm before applying the lipstick
What is a face compact used for?
It is pressed into a pan and can be used to get rid of the excess oil and sweat on your face. A compact powder also adds light coverage to your skin and evens out your complexion. On days when you want to opt for light makeup, you can just use some concealer and compact powder to do your base makeup.
Can compact be used instead of foundation?
Yes! You don’t have to apply foundation if you want to use a compact powder. Just make sure that you moisturise your skin before applying compact powder to prevent your skin from looking parched.
Can I use compact powder daily?
Yes, you can use compact powders daily but make sure to buy a good quality compact powder that does not harm your skin in the long run.
