The variety of products you can find in the beauty world is so vast that, if you are a beginner, you probably don't even know where to start. Despite the countless types of cosmetics on the market, there are some basics with which you can achieve perfect makeup for your daily life.
At divain we will tell you step by step which products you need for a basic makeup kit and how to correctly use each of the cosmetics we show you below. Take note!
Makeup basics and how to use them
As we told you before, you don't need to apply hundreds of products on your skin to achieve an impressive look. Here we show you the essentials of a makeup set and how to use them properly.
Moisturizing cream
The first and very important step before starting to apply makeup on any part of your face is to clean and hydrate the area well, especially if you have dry skin. Besides keeping it elastic and caring for it, this will prevent the makeup from cracking or the opposite effect where signs of aging or expression lines become even more noticeable.
Makeup sponge
Another important product we recommend you keep in mind is a makeup sponge. Although you can apply the base perfectly with your fingertips, the sponge helps it spread and blend much better achieving a perfect finish.
Imperfection concealers
Although you can skip this step if you don't have many imperfections, we advise you to use a concealer for blemishes and redness and another for dark circles. In both cases you should apply it before the base, although you can also add the dark circle concealer afterwards. By the way! In this post we give you some tips for applying dark circle concealer.
Makeup base
The foundation you choose should be the tone of your skin to achieve a more natural effect. If you have oily skin, opt for a foundation with a matte effect to eliminate shine and if your skin is dry then go for one that has luminous finish. You can also add translucent powders with a brush to set the foundation.
Since you are a beginner, you probably don't want to spend a lot of money on this product, so we recommend you take a look at this article with the Best Low Cost foundations.
If you are looking for a healthier option that keeps your skin protected, you should know that there are numerous tinted sunscreens. A very good choice is this one with divain Care protection 50, available in different shades.
Blush and highlighter
After the foundation, add color to your face with a blush. Choose a color as natural as possible and apply it on the ""apple zone". You can also use a highlighter on the "T-zone" of the face (forehead, nose, and cheekbones) to further highlight your features.
Eyeliner or eye pencil
For the eye area, one of the basics that cannot be missing in your makeup kit is eyeliner to enhance your gaze. You can buy a liquid eyeliner, but if you are a beginner we advise you to opt for the classic option of black pencil, much more manageable and easy to apply. You can line the lower part of the eye, the upper lash line or both areas.
Eyeshadows
Give depth to your look with basic neutral tones that you can wear on any occasion. If you are looking for something more professional, check out our post on the best eyeshadow palettes. You will love them!
Mascara
Make the most of your look and achieve the perfect volume applying a coat of black mascara. You can also opt for false eyelashes, but they are more complicated to put on and if you are a beginner the first option is best.
We recommend that you combine your mascara with an eyelash serum. This way you will keep them healthy, strong and you will prevent them from falling out or getting damaged over time. Here we tell you which is the best serum to strengthen your eyelashes.
Lipsticks
And of course, in the basic makeup kit, a couple of lipsticks cannot be missing to achieve perfect and irresistible lips. Opt for nude tones and natural for your day-to-day and by colors more intense like red for special occasions or events.
Brushes
To apply makeup, besides the sponge for foundation, you will need at least three types of brushes for the rest of the cosmetics. Choose one with synthetic hair for the creams, another smaller one for the highlighter and finally a blending brush for the eyeshadows.
And don't forget. Before going to sleep, remove your makeup properly to maintain healthy and youthful skin. Here you will find 4 makeup removers that care for and cleanse your face.
