Something many females struggle with is makeup; maybe they don't know the ideal order makeup should be in, to not knowing anything about the basics of anything makeup related, so hopefully, this post and the attached video link will help you with everything makeup 101.
my crash course on makeup 101 on my youtube channel where I cover everything in this post makeup 101 video
First, let's discuss the order in which your makeup should be done in. Then, once we know the order, we can dive right into what each product is and does
eyebrows (if you want)
concealer/ colour correcter
foundation
loose powder
blush
bronzer
highlighter
eyeshadow
eyeliner (if you want)
lips
mascara
setting spray
primer: primer is a cream or lotion applied before the rest of your makeup to improve coverage and lengthen the amount of time the cosmetic lasts on the face and help reduce breakouts
eyebrows: a pencil or gel for defining or accentuating the eyebrows
Concealer/colour correcter: concealer or colour corrector is a type of cosmetic used to mask dark circles, age spots, large pores, and other small blemishes visible on the skin. It is similar to the foundation but thicker and used to hide different pigments by blending the imperfection into the surrounding skin tone.
Foundation: Foundation is a multi-coloured makeup applied to the face to create an even, uniform colour to the complexion, to cover flaws and, sometimes, to change the natural skin tone. Some foundations also function as a moisturiser, sunscreen, astringent or base layer for more complex cosmetic.
Loose powder: Loose powder seals the moist consistency of the foundation and makes it last longer. It also helps to prevent makeup transfer or runoff one may experience in the middle of the day. For people with oily skin, wearing loose powder is a must because it helps control oil, keeping the face free from shine. there is also pressed powder
Blush: blush or blusher is a cosmetic for colouring the cheeks in varying shades or the lips red. It is applied as a powder or cream.
Bronzer: Bronzer is used to emulate a sun-kissed glow and enhance a tan. Bronzing makeup can be used to darken areas of the skin without masking it or to add warmth. Bronzer is a great way to make your skin look radiant and healthy.
Highlighter: A highlighter is a type of cosmetic product that reflects light. Often used for contouring, it can be applied to the face or other parts of the body to brighten the skin on a given area, create the perception of depth and angles.
Eyeshadow: Eye shadow is applied on the eyelids and under the eyebrows. It is commonly used to make the wearer's eyes stand out or look more attractive. Eye shadow can add depth and dimension to one's eyes, complement the eye colour, make one's eyes appear larger, or simply draw attention to the eyes.
Eyeliner: Eyeliner is used to define the eyes. It is applied around the contours of the eye to create a variety of aesthetic effects.
lips: Many different things can be applied to the lips, lip liner and lipstick, lipgloss and lip balm, lip balm and lip gloss are used to hydrate your lips and sometimes add a bit of colour while most lipsticks ain't very hydrating and just add colour, lip liner helps line the lips to make them more defined
Mascara: Mascara is commonly used to enhance eyelashes. It may darken, thicken, lengthen, and/or define the eyelashes.
Setting spray: Setting spray is a cosmetic product designed to preserve applied make-up for long periods. Usually sold in small spray bottles, setting spray is used by spritzing mist over the face, keeping the make-up application moist for several hours. also comes in a powder
Don't go too much lighter than your foundation.
Do use blush on the apples of your cheeks.
Don't pack on the bronzer.
Do find a taupe or nude eye shadow.
Don't wear full smokey-eye
Do wear soft, neutral lipstick.
Don't line your lips with a dark pencil.
