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.
