Finding a good list of make-up products for beginners can be difficult when you do know where to start. Celebrity make-up artist Keanda Rebelle says, “don’t overwhelm yourself! Purchase minimal make-up products that are multi-purpose and effective. “
There is no doubt that make-up helps you enhance your favourite features and build confidence. Therefore, before getting into all the make-up trends, start with basic products that will help you take time to learn your face and what complements it.
Make-up products you need as a beginner
The products listed below will be a good start to learning and developing your make-up skills.
Make-up brushes
Getting a seamless make-up look will not be easy without the right brushes. Invest in a set of brushes that will help properly blend the products into your skin.
Primer
Primer helps smooth out your pores and ensures that your make-up lasts longer.
Foundation
Foundation is the base of your make-up and is important to get a shade that matches your skin tone well. Rebelle advises beginners to not be heavy-handed with their foundation but rather start small and build it up until they reach their desired look. This way, there is more control.
Concealer
After applying your foundation, concealer is there to highlight and add dimension to your face. You can apply it under your eyes, in the middle of your forehead, and on your chin, right under your lip.
Blush and bronzer
Bronzer is usually a few shades darker than your skin tone. It gives you a golden sun-kissed look and it is applied on the forehead, the cheeks and the jawline.
Blush is also applied to the cheeks and gives a natural flush to the skin.
Brow pencil
Using a brow pencil might take time to perfect, however, it is there to add shape and depth to your brows. Good eyebrows shape your face and add a nice finishing detail to your make-up look.
Mascara
Mascara finishes the look by elongating your lashes and which makes your eyes look bigger and makes you look more awake.
Neutral eyeshadow
Rebelle recommends getting a two-toned neutral eyeshadow as a beginner because it is a good way to start learning how to frame your eyes.
Setting spray
Setting spray keeps the look intact and guarantees that nothing moves throughout the day. Choose a setting spray that works with your skin type because some can make your skin feel dry.
