If you're new to the world of make-up, it can be hard to know where to start. But this post will guide you on how to get started with everything from which products are best for beginners, what tools you need, and what colours will suit your skin tone. You'll also find some of the most popular tutorials on YouTube featuring some great looks that beginners can try out.

 

1. Know What You Want to Use Make-Up For

 

Make-up can be used for so many things other than looking beautiful. For example, when you have a pimple on your face you can use concealer and foundation to hide it or you can use some eyeshadow to cover the redness. Make-up is meant to enhance your natural beauty so choose products that will suit your needs.

 

1. Know What to Do With It

 

Before you start applying makeup, research your products to determine what effect they will give. Keep in mind that many eye shadows for example can wash off easily, so work with what you have and be patient.

 

1. Avoid Using Too Much Make-Up and Too Little

 

It's best to use the makeup that suits you rather than trying to compare yourself to others because everyone looks different with different skin tones and features.

 

1. Explore Your Options

 

Use makeup as a way to express yourself and find your style. It's important to get a feel for different colours, shades, and finishes of every product so you can find the one that works best for you. If a particular shade or colour refuses to wear off after each use then you know it will suit you.

 

5) Determine what kind of look you want

 

Are you looking for an everyday natural look? Does a glamorous night outlook? A bold, dramatic evening look? Don't just think about what you want to look like, but also how much time you want to spend on it. If you just want a quick and easy way to get that 'natural' daily look, you can use a few simple tricks and the products will last for months.

 

6) Shop the right products

 

Makeup can be a very expensive hobby, but you don't have to spend a fortune on it. There are many affordable and great quality products that you can buy at any of your local drug stores and department stores.

 

7) Apply your makeup

The first step to applying your makeup is to wash and moisturise your face. You'll want to apply your makeup after you've gotten out of the shower because if you apply it directly on top of a layer of oil, it won't stick properly.

 

 

8) Pick a foundation that has a “Creamy” finish

 

An easy way to tell if something is a creamy foundation or not is by looking at the list of ingredients. If you see an ingredient like talc, then it most likely will be dry, in which case you will want to pick one with more moisture. If you see things like titanium dioxide or silicones, then it’s going to be too dry.

Some Additional Tips

 

• Many people use makeup to hide imperfections and insecurities, but when you know how to do it properly, not only does it make you feel better about yourself but it can even improve your natural beauty.

 

• Sure, you could just go into a drugstore and pick up one of the many products available at the counter. But before you spend any money on something that might not work for your skin type, take a few minutes to look over the following tips for beginners.

 

• For beginners, we would suggest starting with eyeshadow. A lot of things can be done to enhance the eyes and a little bit of shadow can help you create a great look. There are three different types of shadows that you could use: cream shadow, pressed shadow and loose powder.

 

• Each type is going to have pros and cons in different skin types, but it's still going to provide a unique look that can make your eyes pop more than just using eyeliner or nothing at all. A lot of people use cream shadows for their base colour, but it's also nice to use on your eyelid if you're going for a finished look.
