Makeup essentials for beginners !

•        Moisturizer

The basic function of moisturizers is to help treat your skin when it's dry and prevent it from drying out again. Moisturizers do this by holding water in the stratum corner, the outermost layer of the skin . But they have other functions as well.

•        Primer 

Makeup primer is a base for foundation or face makeup that allows it to go on smoother and last longer. Formulas are available in cream, gel and powder. ... Physicians Formula's makeup artist Joanna Schlip notes makeup primers can also help smooth any fine lines, wrinkles or large pores.

• Foundation

Foundation is a liquid or powder makeup applied to the face to create an even, uniform color to the complexion, cover flaws and, sometimes, to change the natural skin tone. Some foundations also function as a moisturizer, sunscreen, astringent or base layer for more complex cosmetics.

• Concealer

A concealer or color corrector is a type of cosmetic that is used to mask dark circles, age spots, large pores, and other small blemishes visible on the skin. It is similar to foundation, but thicker and used to hide different pigments by blending the imperfection into the surrounding skin tone.

• Powder 

Face powder is a cosmetic powder applied to the face to set a foundation after application. It can also be reapplied throughout the day to minimize shininess caused by oily skin. There is translucent sheer powder, and there is pigmented powder. Certain types of pigmented facial powders are meant be worn alone with no base foundation. Powder tones the face and gives an even appearance. Besides toning the face, some powders with sunscreen can also reduce skin damage from sunlight and environmental stress. It comes packaged either as a compact or as loose powder. It can be applied with a sponge, brush, or powder puff. Uniform distribution over the face is achieved more easily when a loose powder is applied.

• 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.

• Blush

Flushed cheeks have been a mainstay of makeup glamour for centuries. If you want to add a bit more color and vibrancy to your complexion, blush may be the key. Use a dense brush with plenty of bristles to apply your blush—this will make sure you get the most out of every blush sweep.

• Highlighter

 highlighter is face makeup that attracts light, creating the illusion of brightness and height, hence that lit-from-within look. Celebs often use it in addition to contouring to lift and push features back, according to makeup artist JennyPatinkin.

• Eye shadow 

Eye shadow can add depth and dimension to one's eyes, complement one's eye color, make one's eyes appear larger, or simply draw attention to the eyes. Eye shadow comes in many different colors and textures. It is usually made from a powder and mica, but can also be found in liquid, pencil, cream or mousse form. Just like other trends, eye-shadow looks also have trends.

• Eyeliner

Eye Makeup Products include products that are used around the eye to enhance the appearance of the eyes and to emphasize the beauty of the eyes. They include such products as eye-shadow, eye-liner, eye-brow products, and other products that can help to enhance and accent the eyes.

• Mascara 

Mascara is a cosmetic commonly used to enhance the eyelashes. It may darken, thicken, lengthen, and/or define the eyelashes.

• Lips Products

Before applying makeup, prime your lips . Just outside the natural lip contour, draw a fine line with lip-liner.  This prevents the color from bleeding or feathering. Trace the lip contour with exact precision. Apply the  Lipstick in the same shade as the contour pencil. The color will look richer if it is applied with the Lip Brush. Paint the color directly from the lipstick onto the lips.

• Setting Spray & Setting Powder

Setting spray or setting powder can be the final touch for your makeup routine. If you want makeup that stays on all day long, without greasing, creasing, or shine, it’s important to invest in a quality setting solution.
