Makeup Basics

If you're not a regular makeup wearer or you're just learning to use makeup, the terms and uses of beauty products might be a bit confusing. What exactly is the difference between lipstick and lip stain? Why do we need eyeliner? These questions and more are ones that all novice makeup wearers face. However, learning to use and apply makeup properly can be a fun and rewarding experience. The purpose of this article to describe some of the more basic beauty products and how to use them properly.

Face:

The most basic beauty product that most women use is face makeup. This is usually referred to as "base" or "foundation". From there, there are two basic types of foundation: powder and liquid. Which one is best for you? That all depends on your preference, skin type, and how long you want your foundation to stay on. For example, if you have oily skin, a mineral-based powder might be best. If you're looking for more coverage, a liquid might be a better choice. Liquid foundations are applied using either your fingers or a cosmetic sponge while powders are normally applied using a brush or cosmetic puff.

Eyes:

The basic tools of the eye makeup arsenal are eye shadow, eyeliner, and mascara. Eye shadow gives the face more color and draws attention to the eyes. Most women like to find a shade that enhances their eye color. Liner turns up the volume on this effect by defining the eyes even further. Finally, mascara adds texture and volume to eyelashes as a finishing touch. Again, preference between beauty products here also has to do with personal choice. A liquid liner makes eyes appear more defined but is trickier than a standard eye pencil to use. Shadows typically come in powder, but some women prefer crème. And there are as many mascara choices (lengthening, waterproof, thickening) as there are brands! Choose one that best suits your needs.

Lips:

If you only take the time to master one beauty product, those intended for your lips is where you can't go wrong. Lipstick is the most basic of all makeup products for the lip. Sometimes slightly waxy in texture, it adds color and definition to your smile. If you prefer something lighter, lip gloss may be more ideal. Gloss helps lips look fuller and adds just a hint of color. Lip stain serves the same purpose as lipstick but is longer wearing. Finally, lip liner – available usually in pencil form – helps bring out lips contours and should always be used in conjunction with a lipstick.

Skin Care For Normal To Oily Skin

Taking care of your skin is an important part of your daily routine. Good skincare prevents the premature signs of ageing, and keeps you looking and feeling healthy.

However, with so many different products on the market, it can seem near impossible to know which brand or type is right for you and your skin.

To get started, you need to first discover what type of skin you have. Most types can be categorised as dry, oily, normal or sensitive. If you have dry skin, it will feel tight, flaky, and sometimes itchy or painful. Sensitive is often red, inflamed, sore, dry or itchy. Oily is characterised by shine, acne, and enlarged pores. Normal skin is characterised by a healthy complexion, and smoothness.

Many people have a normal to oily skin type. If you find that during the winter months, your skin is normal to dry, you may discover that it becomes normal to oily in the summer months. This is not uncommon, as the climate and humidity can cause your skin to become more hydrated. If you have normal to oily skin, there are five essential products you will need. Let's find out more about them:

Cleanser:

If you fall in the normal to oily category, you will probably need a foaming or gel cleanser to remove the excess oil build-up. Most skincare brands feature a cleanser which will be suitable for you - but you should probably avoid cream cleansers, as they will be too heavy for your skin type.

Toner:

A toner suited to normal to oily skin types will help to remove cleanser residue and balance the pH of your skin after cleansing. Normal to oily types will benefit from a light, refreshing toner formula.

Moisturizer:

If you have normal to oily skin, you will need an oil-free or water-based moisturiser. Oily or heavy moisturisers can clog your pores - so stick to a gel or light liquid moisturiser.

Eye Cream:

No matter what your type, you will benefit from incorporating an eye cream into your daily skincare routine, to prevent signs of ageing such as fine lines and wrinkles.

Sunscreen:

Once again, no matter what type of category you fall into, you will need to wear sunscreen every day! Wearing sunscreen not only prevents melanoma skin cancer, it will also help to prevent the signs of ageing such as fine lines, wrinkles, skin sagging and discoloration.

How You Should Buy

We all know how easy it is to lose control while shopping. You go in a store or on a site for 1 item and you end up buying 8. Well I don't have a money tree in my backyard so it's important to me not to let this makeup addition control my wallet. So it's a few things I try to remember before I pull out my debit card. Here's 10 things you need to think about before you buy.

Budget - Don't let your spending get out of control! Look at your wish list, research upcoming collections and check your products for things that are running low. Then make a monthly beauty budget. Prioritize what you need vs. what you want.

Research Research, Research! - I cannot stress this enough! You need to research everything before you buy. Check for sales and promo codes because we all love to save money, right? Look online for swatches on someone that's a similar complexion as you and check, read reviews, and see if something similar will be in upcoming collections.

Buy only what u can see yourself using - "OMG THAT GREEN LIPSTICK IT GORGEOUS!" Ummm no, if you can't think about how you can wear it or when and where you can wear it YOU DON'T NEED IT.

Buy refill shadows - If the brand sells pan eye shadows for palettes buy those instead of single shadows. It will save space and money.

Swatch In-store - Online swatches tend to lie sometimes, so if you can go into the store and swatch products yourself. Once you're a little seasoned you'll be able to tell what will and won't work for you in online swatches.

Accessories - Buy things like mascara wands, cotton balls, sponges, and etc. from stores like Walmart. No need to pay more at cosmetic stores.

Store lighting - In-store lighting is NOT your friend! How many times has a product looked great on you inside the store and when you get home you have the WTF face on? Carry a mirror and go outside in natural light to see if you really like it.

Shop your stash - Check your stash for items before you shop. You don't want to buy something and it's a dupe for something you already have.

Keep your empties - MAC has a program called Back 2 MAC, you can take 6 empty MAC containers and trade them for a free lipstick, eye shadow or lip gloss.

Collections - When shopping collections check and see if any items are permanent. You can buy permanent items anytime so focus of limited edition.
