Guess what my first random post for today would be?!!
ESSENTIAL MAKEUP FOR STARTERS! :)
I used to have this mindset where I get too lazy to do anything to my face. But soon I began to be self-conscious and would at least make an effort to cover up my pimple or scars. Makeups are just one of those aids that would boost your confidence and self-esteem. It is not a run away medium to hide from your ugly self. It just helps to make you look good and well-kept. But nevertheless, natural beauty is still the best. Don’t go too hard and heavy on your makeup! So what do beginners need? Here are the top 10 makeup products I need when I first begin.




1. Foundation
Pick out a foundation that is nearest to your skin tone. You should go either for a colour lighter or a colour darker. If you are confused in the different colours, ask for help from the professional. Remember that you are just starting out. You don’t have to put on too much foundation and make your face look cakey. Just concentrate on places where you see uneven skin tone or discoloration.

2. Concealer
The colour of your concealer should be similar to your foundation. Conceal your under eye circles or blemishes evenly. Do not put it too heavy on your pimple because it might cause irritation.

3. Translucent Powder
The colour of your powder will vary depending on your choice of foundation. If your foundation is a colour lighter than your skin, your powder should be a darker shade. It works the other way round too. If your foundation is a colour darker than your powder should be a lighter shade. A quick dust of powder will set all the makeup and controls shine.

4. Blush
There are 3 main colour for a blush; nude, pink and red. For a start, look out for a warm tone to add a pop of colour to the apples of your cheeks.

5. Neutral Eye Shadow
As a beginner, we should keep our eye shadow limit to neutral colours like beige, brown or taupe as an instant brightener when swiped all over the lid. We can slowly pick up and try on different daring colours once we get our control.

6. Eyeliner
There are 3 types of eyeliner; pencil, liquid and gel. As a beginner, we should work on the pencil first because it is easier to control as compared to the other 2. Line your eyes along your lashes to create a thin line that will define and enhance your eyes.

7. Mascara
Mascara can help you lengthen and volumes your lashes. It is the second step of defining your eyes.

8. Eyebrow pencil
To keep your brows need and in place, stroke a few lines of eyebrow pencil to fill in any gaps. Another alternative is to trim your brows regularly so that there would not be a need to draw your brows every single time. Saves money too!

9. Lipstick
For a start, stick to nude or light pink colours to come off as casual. A lip gloss or lip balm would work just as fine too.

10. A set of brushes
How would you apply all these if you do not have any brushes with you? Get some essential brushes like eye shadow brush, lip liner, fluffy powder brush and blush brush. Trust me, it would come in handy and your brush collection will grow in the future too!
