7 must haves for new makeup users

If you’re entering the world of makeup for the first time it’s hard to know what the must haves for new makeup users are. There are so many products and tools out there and once you’ve become more experienced with makeup, you’ll find yourself curious to try all these products. However, we should begin with the basics. Here are my suggestions for must haves for new makeup users

________________________________________________________________________

1.) foundation

 Regardless if you have acne-prone skin or a fairly good complexion, foundation is a one of the must haves for new makeup users! Foundation “smoothes” out your complexion and covers redness, blotchiness and dark spots. Most importantly, foundation creates a uniform canvas on your face so that the colors of your eye shadows, blush, bronzers, etc... can be more true to the color you see in their packaging as well as stand out more against your skin tone.

2.) the beauty blender

 No matter how good your foundation is, the final result may not be what you expected. Instead you might find your foundation to be streaky or uneven in certain spots. With a beauty blender sponge, all you need is to wet the sponge just a tad and your foundation will be applied smoothly.

3.) concealer

 For those tough to hide spots that foundation can’t cover, concealer is the next step (well technically it’s the first step). Before applying foundation, apply concealer to areas like under your eyes or around your nose or wherever there is discoloration. It’s important to get the right shade of concealer.

4.) mascara

 Mascara is great for making the eyes look bigger and more alert. When applying mascara, make sure to clean up any residue that might be left on your eyelids or around your eyes... mascara is only for eyelashes!

5.) lipstick

 Lipstick is the "adult version" of lip gloss – it requires more care, is harder to apply and smudges much easier. However, when applied correctly lipstick looks beautiful on any woman. Every woman should have at least one lipstick and if you’re not sure what color will look best on you go for a classic red. However, don’t be afraid to try other colors.

6.) lipstick brush

 Just like foundation, lipstick needs to be applied with the right tools. A lipstick brush is especially important if you don’t want to wear lip liner. The brush is helpful when applying lipstick around the edges of your lips as well as smoothing out streaky bits.

7.) blush

 I recommend blush, or more specifically a blush-bronze duo, because it adds warmth to the face as well as contours to accentuate your cheekbones. Blush is a great extra something for the night out on the town.
