A Complete Makeup Guide For Beginners

Building an expert makeup bag might be challenging as it feels like you have to invest a lot to have everything you need. Fortunately, professional makeup artists disagree, as they help us identify the must-haves in anyone's cosmetic bag.

According to makeup artists, you only need some essential products for your daily beauty routine. It's critical to choose only those cosmetics that are simple to apply.

Remember, the key to using makeup is moderation. It's easier to look and feel gorgeous when applying only a few makeup products.

1. Primer

If you want a flawless complexion, it's vital to prepare the skin with a primer. Applying a face primer like HEIMISH Artless Glow Base helps you create a smooth base that will maintain your makeup throughout the day.

The Artless Glow Base brightens up your complexion while moisturising the skin. It contains potent natural ingredients, including herbal extracts, to protect the skin.

Apply this face primer after moisturiser. We recommend starting at the centre of the face. It's best to use only a dab of product to avoid a cakey look. Make sure the primer has dried before applying the foundation.

You can also add an eye primer such as ETUDE HOUSE Proof 10 Eye Primer to stop eyeliner and eyeshadows from erasing or getting in your crease.

2. Liquid Foundation and Concealer

Makeup artists recommend having a liquid foundation to create an even skin tone. Concealers are designed to hide skin imperfections such as blemishes, spots, and under-eye bags.

You should apply the foundation first and then the concealer so you can correct any area that requires more coverage.

Use a liquid foundation such as ETUDE HOUSE Double Lasting Foundation to achieve a flawless complexion. Besides, it improves your skin tone and provides you with perfect coverage.

This double-lasting foundation has strong adherence and stays in place for up to 24 hours. You can use it at work, gym, or anywhere you need a natural look.

You can also try THE SAEM Cover Perfection Tip Concealer SPF28 PA++ to cover freckles, dark spots, dark circles, or flaws. Apply with a dabbing motion to guarantee perfect coverage.

3. Blush

An effective way to look younger and healthier is putting on blush. Blush is a must-have for beginners as it makes your complexion radiant. There are different blushes, but the powder is still the most popular.

When selecting a blush colour, it's best to stick with a natural flush. Make sure not to apply a bright tone or use too much, as these can make you look unnatural.

You can try Tangerine Chip from ROMAND Better Than Cheek if you want a subtle colour.

The ROMAND Better Than Cheek blush isn't too bright or noticeable, but it leaves your face looking radiant and beautiful. These blushes can help cover up any flaws, giving the skin an airbrush effect.

4. Eyeshadow

If you're a beginner, it's wise to invest in a neutral eyeshadow palette, as you can use it day or night. Most browns, bronzes, and creams are terrific for all eye colours and skin tones.

Natural eyeshadows are excellent for looking gorgeous, elegant, and glamorous.

We loved ETUDE HOUSE Play Color Eyes Bake House as it's filled with warm brown shades. These colours will help you create a warm and sophisticated look.

Play Color Eyes Bake House has a soft and self-adhering texture that provides a long-lasting pigment.

5. Mascara

It's impossible to complete your makeup bag without mascara. Only with one coat of mascara, your eyes look younger, awake, and fresh.

Even though there are different types of mascara, it's wise to stick with the one that suits your needs. We recommend a mascara such as ETUDE HOUSE Lash Perm Curl Fix Mascara if you want to curl your eyelashes.

ETUDE HOUSE Lash Perm Curl Fix Mascara curls every eyelash and holds all day thanks to its Curl 24HR Technology Perfect Lash Fixer ingredient. It's waterproof and sweatproof.

6. Lipstick

Finally, you'll need lipstick or lip gloss to finish your look. Lipsticks not only brighten your smile but also provide hydration to your lips. You can look more professional or sexy depending on which lip colour you use.

We recommend having at least two lip colours to suit your needs, such as Coral Mist from ROMAND Glasting Water Tint for an everyday look.

And RD303 from ETUDE HOUSE Matte Chip Lip Lacquer for a more glamorous occasion.
