When revising their cosmetic stocks, many girls face a similar problem - a large arsenal of decorative cosmetics of unusual colors, and there are very few basic cosmetics that can be used every day.
Because we like everything beautiful and unusual. Few people pay attention to the faceless concealer in a jar when there is a stunningly sparkling palette of shadows on the stand, which, alas, you will use only on holidays.
What should really be in the makeup bag of every girl who applies makeup daily? Let's find out together, make-up artists like to call such a set “beginner's makeup bag”.
What should be in the basic cosmetic bag?
Foundation
Any makeup begins with smooth, radiant skin, that is, with a tone that needs to be applied to pre-moistened skin. Makeup artists recommend using BB or CC cream in everyday makeup. It does not have such a dense texture, looks more natural on the face and adapts to any skin color. A wide range of such products is presented among Korean brands.
Concealer
It will help to hide the traces of a sleepless night in the form of bruises under the eyes or an inappropriately popped pimple. It is worth choosing a tone lighter than its tonal foundation - the highlighted areas will give the face a fresh, rested look.
Powder
If you have oily skin, it will be difficult to do without matting powder. Everyone else should give preference to transparent powder. In the jar, the product looks white, but lays on the skin with a translucent veil, fixing makeup on the face.
Eyebrow Makeup
You can be a fan of any eyebrow - natural, thin, wide, in any case, you can not do without makeup on this area of the face. Each girl decides for herself which remedy suits her. In everyday makeup, enough colored gel (mascara) for eyebrows. Someone likes to draw eyebrows with a pencil or marker, shadows or special lipstick - the choice is yours.
Bronzer (sculptor)
So that the face does not look flat, you need to draw natural shadows on it. Hard sculpting with cream means is suitable for photography or publication. In everyday makeup, it is better to use dry textures that need to be applied to the cheekbones, forehead and back of the nose with a light veil.
It is important that the sculptor is not red, otherwise the face will resemble a brick. For most Slavic girls, the Taup shade, which can be found in many cosmetic brands, is suitable for sculpting.
Blush
If you want to give your cheeks a cute glow - you can’t do without this product. They can be dry, cream, gel, in a stick or in a cushion tube. Choose a convenient option and the most natural shade.
Highlighter
This product has recently appeared in women's cosmetic bags, but has already managed to fall in love with many. If you think that this is a useless toy, then you have never used it in your makeup. It literally highlights the face, giving it a sleek, rested look. The main thing is not to overdo it, so as not to become like a Christmas tree. It is applied to the facial bones, under the eyebrow, above the lip and on the back of the nose - in everyday makeup, choose one thing.
Eyeliner
Arrows - a universal make-up that is appropriate in any situation. They go to absolutely everyone, the main thing is to choose the form that suits you. Just bring your eyes down and you will see how the arrows emphasize the beauty of your eyes and increase the volume of your eyelashes. There are a lot of options for buying: classic eyeliner, gel in a jar, in a felt-tip pen, in a marker, in a pencil.
Mascara
It is also difficult to do without it; fluffy, long, well-separated cilia are relevant. Please note that not everyone uses charcoal black mascara. In everyday makeup, many girls are much more suited to dark brown, which makes the look softer and looks as natural as possible.
Shadows
This product will also be appropriate in everyday makeup, but it all depends on the color. For every day, pick up a palette of matte or satin shades of nude shades. These are represented by many brands, starting from the mass market and ending with luxury. Outside of work, you can experiment with bright and shiny pallets while doing creative makeup.
Base under the shade
A few years ago, the girls did not even suspect about its existence, and now it is difficult to imagine eye makeup without this product. It improves pigmentation, increases the resistance of shadows and prolongs the period of makeup. If earlier the shadows disappeared from the face a couple of hours after application, now they will stay until the evening!
Lipstick
The choice of textures and formats is diverse - satin, matte, gel, cream, with a shimmer, in stick or liquid, in a tube. The variety of shades is even more striking.
For every day, make-up artists advise finding their perfect nude that will meet the requirement "your lips, only better." Also, red lipstick does not hurt, she, like a little black dress, should be in every girl. Red suits everyone, the main thing is to choose your own shade.
Makeup tool
It is impossible to do the right makeup without little helpers - brushes. They should be resilient, soft and comfortable to lie in the hand. Unfortunately, a good brush is not cheap, but it serves more than one year, and during this time it pays off with interest.
For a daily make-up, it’s enough to have 5 basic brushes:
- For applying a tonal basis;
- For powder;
- For blush (sculptor);
- For shadows (you will need one flat - for applying the main color and oval - for darkening the folds and shading);
- For lipstick.
What else to put in a cosmetic bag?
In addition to the basic list of cosmetics, you can not do without little helpers who will help any woman quickly do makeup and extend it throughout the day.
- Matting napkins. They will allow you to get rid of oily sheen during the day, without clogging the pores with an additional layer of powder. Be sure to put a pack of napkins in your bag and keep one in the workplace.
- Thermal water. This product can be applied before makeup to soften and moisturize the skin. Also, a small spray bottle with thermal water does not hurt in the bag - it can be sprayed on top of the makeup during the day to refresh the face.
- Lip balm. No matter how many lipsticks are in your makeup bag, a good moisturizing balm will never hurt. It can be applied to the lips before makeup, during the day and at night - for example, to restore the thin skin of the lips after an aggressive matte lipstick.
- Hand cream. Even if you are working at a computer and doing household chores with gloves, you need to store a tube of cream in a cosmetic bag - it will never be in excess. You also need to keep one on the bedside table, and the other on the desktop.
