by A makeup kit is more than just a place to keep your cosmetics: it’s also important in helping you devise and maintain an overall beauty regimen. Makeup kits are great for keeping your most-used cosmetics organized, and they make it easy to locate products daily. It’s also possible to use makeup cases as storage units for beauty tools like tweezers or brushes!
1. The shade of the eye shadow is important; please use makeup for looking good. it should complement your skin tone and bring out your eyes by matching their color or being a contrasting color. If you have blue eyes, try shades of purple or green to create contrast. If you have brown eyes, try neutrals like gold and copper to match your natural tones. Eyeshadow can be used as an eyeliner by applying it on top of an eyeliner pencil for added definition.
A great way to get a smoky eye without using too much product is to use the darkest part of your palette for your crease, blending outwards with more neutral colors. Try using two different brushes for this look: one fluffy brush for blending and one dense brush for shading. You will also need a highlighting powder to place on your browbone, inner corner of your eye, and cheekbone.
A full-coverage foundation will help even out skin tone while concealing any blemishes. It’s recommended that you apply it before anything else (other than primer) because products applied over the foundation may not apply evenly, so make sure that the foundation has set before moving on to blush, contour, and highlight application. One of my favorite foundations is Estée Lauder Double Wear Foundation which comes in 34 shades!
Setting makeup Powder
For a flawless face, set your makeup with powder. The best powder for this purpose is translucent setting powder, which is available in many different formulas and finishes. Some powders are oil-free and will mattify your skin, while others have a slight sheen to make you look dewy. Translucent powders work well for all skin types, including sensitive or acne-prone skin.
The most common place to find them is at your local drugstore or department store. They’re also readily available online, but if you’re not sure about the type of powder that would be best for your specific needs, head over to Sephora and ask an associate there! They’ll help match your needs to the right product.
The last step to achieving a flawless complexion is taking care of any trouble spots on your skin with concealer. For example, if you have blemishes on your chin and forehead, use a full-coverage concealer on those spots only; don’t try to cover up other areas that don’t need it because doing so can lead to cakey coverage. After applying concealer, dust a finishing powder (such as Laura Mercier Loose Setting Powder) over the area. You’ll notice that your concealer doesn’t budge from where you placed it!
There are two ways to complete your beautiful face: contour (to slim your features) or highlight (to brighten). If you want to contour, choose shades that are one to two tones darker than your natural skin tone and apply them underneath cheekbones and along jawlines. If you want more color on top of what’s already on your cheeks, go ahead and highlight with a bronzer or blush. Your new glow will bring out some of the features we’ve tried hard to minimize through contouring!
Fix It Products
There are a lot of products on the market for creating flawless skin and hiding blemishes, but which ones do you need? There’s not much point in buying products that aren’t going to work for your skin type or lifestyle. That’s why we’ve compiled a list of must-have products to have in your makeup kit.
1) Foundation – The foundation is the base layer that goes under all other makeup. It’s essential to find one that matches your skin tone, texture, and undertone. For those with oily skin, liquid foundations can be a great option because they’ll stay put throughout the day. If you’re looking for more coverage, there are matte formulations with SPF that will help protect your skin from the sun. If you’re acne prone, look for something oil-free and lightweight so it doesn’t clog pores or make breakouts worse.
2) Concealer – After applying foundation, concealer can be applied underneath your eyes to take care of dark circles as well as any redness from blemishes or rosacea anywhere else on your face. Most people choose between creams and liquids when picking out concealers since both provide different levels of coverage and textures. Creams may be better if you want to cover up wrinkles, while liquids might be better for getting rid of shadows around the eye area. No matter what kind you use, don’t forget to blend well before putting anything else on top!
3) Blush – Blush adds warmth and life back into pale or sallow cheeks without adding too much color that would overwhelm a natural look. Apply lightly near the apple of your cheekbone with either fingers or a brush.
4) Bronzer – If your skin has a warm undertone, bronzer is perfect for adding some warmth back into areas where the sun naturally warms up such as the bridge of your nose and cheekbones. Otherwise, you could end up looking like a ghost.
5) Highlighter – To add some light to your face and catchlights in your eyes, highlighters come in powder form. They add shimmery highlights to the high points of your face like cheekbones, brow bones, and chin. They also provide dimension to deep set features like hollows under the eyes or smile lines by lifting them.
6) Lipstick/Lip Gloss – Whether you go for lipstick or lip gloss depends on how dramatic of an effect you want. Matte formulas are popular among many women because they last longer than lip glosses do.
