7 makeup tricks for beginners

For those who don’t have much experience with makeup, a few tips can greatly ease the process of applying products to the skin and help with the makeup result. Watch!

1. prepare the skin

The skin is the main part of the makeup. It is she who will highlight the other objects to be used. Therefore, cleansing your face is the first and most important step. For this, use a soap suitable for your skin or an astringent toner.

Then, apply the moisturizer that works best for your skin type. “Moisturizing, toning and applying primer to the face makes makeup last longer,” guarantees the official makeup artist of Index Tokyo in Brazil, Danilo Donadeli.

two. Use foundation, concealer and powder

Makeup artist Bruno Cézar explains that choosing the product with the ideal skin tone is also very important in order not to go wrong with makeup. Therefore, the choice of foundation, concealer and powder must be done very carefully. You can apply foundation with your fingers, makeup sponges, or a special foundation brush. Same thing goes for concealer. The powder can be applied with a sponge or brush.

3. Choose the right colors

For those who are just starting out, the ideal is to go little by little, try a simpler trick, and build up gradually. “Pastel tones are more suitable for everyday use, while some brighter colors help compose a more modern look for evening makeup,” advises Danilo Donadeli. Test new things to improve more and more.

4. apply eyeliner

Eyeliner is one of the trickiest steps in makeup, as it smudges easily when you don’t have much practice, as well as being difficult to leave both sides the same. There is a little trick to eliminate this problem: use a felt eyeliner (felt) and make a mark in the outer corner of the eye, exactly where the line should end. Then, with your elbow resting on a table, make a dot at the base of your lashes. Then connect these dots with a dash.

5. wear mascara

The quality of the mascara is very important for the look to be beautiful. When applying the mask, the ideal is to start very close to the root and work your way up to the tips. Repeat the application after 45 seconds. If the eyelashes stick together, separate them with a brush with comb function.

6. Apply blush the right way

The blush is an essential element to make the make-up perfect, as it gives the final touch. The best brushes to apply it are fuller and softer, because they spread the product well and blend, leaving a more natural look. Be careful not to apply too much product.

7. Invest in lipstick to finish

Lipstick colors should be chosen in accordance with the rest of the makeup. Remember: if it dares in the eyes, it does not dare in the mouth, or vice versa. The lipstick can be applied directly with the stick or with a lip brush.
