Top 10 musts for your makeup bag
-
LASH CURLERS
Lash curling is important if you are looking to accentuate your eyes, always start as close to the root as possible and curl two to three times to get the desired look.
2. PRIMER
Primer is essential as it acts as a base allowing the foundation to glide on easily as well as making sure that the makeup has durability.
3. LOOSE POWDER
Loose powder removes excess oil from the skin leaving the face looking matte. When applying the loose powder make sure you dust very lightly and concentrate on areas of the face that are prone to oiliness such as the chin, forehead and nose. If you have very dry skin then there is no need to apply powder.
4. TWEEZERS
It is a known fact that well groomed eyebrows frame the face, tweeze any stray hair, but be careful to do so early to allow for the redness to fade.
5. MASCARA
Mascara is a makeup must and anyone woman walking around without mascara is committing a crime against herself. Simply apply mascara to curled lashes from root to tip. This will lengthen and thicken the lashes.
6. CONCEALER OR FOUNDATION
If you are lucky enough to have even skin tone or just a few blemishes, then using foundation is not necessary, however if you need coverage then apply a light layer of foundation to the face, making sure to blend into the hairline as well as the jaw line. You can apply concealer to the areas that need a little more coverage.
7. BROW POWDER/PENCIL
These are used to make the brows fuller or to create shape.
8. Highlighter
Highlighters are great to accentuate cheeks bones however I like to add a little to my foundation to give luminosity to the skin.
9. BLUSH/BRONZER
These can be used to accentuate features, however remember to apply sparingly and build up colour.
10. LIP BALM WITH AN SPF
This will protect your lips from the environment and keep lips soft.
