What are the essential beauty products for beginners?
If you are new to makeup, the first thing you need to know is which beauty products to use. So my darlings, I will introduce you to the most essential beauty products.
Primers For Beginners
Primer :
Above all, I'm sure the former will be your best friend. I really like this product, it is very light and useful. Look dear, I know there are a lot of girls out there who hate the feel of diapers, but I swear when smoothed over your skin, it blurs, hides and evens out your skin texture, large pores and freckles.
Foundation :
This product is used all over the face to create a unified base for the rest of your makeup. The most important step in choosing your darling foundation is carefully and accurately choosing the right color for your skin tone.
Concealer:
Concealer isn't much different from foundation, but it's lighter and gentler for the delicate eye area. It helps to add an extra layer of coverage on dark spots, pimples, scars or any other place you want more coverage.
Highlighter:
Through the use of a highlighter, you will get an amazing shine effect, a distinct touch and a glow. It highlights the highlights of your face and protects the reflection of light imperfections on the face.
Contouring:
People always wonder about the importance of contouring, I'll explain... When you apply any type of BB cream, your face immediately becomes flat, because all the dimensions of your face have been removed, so you need to warm up and add contour to your face.
Blush and Bronzer :
Shine, honey, shine, blush can warm cool-toned fair skin. It can also brighten dull or tired skin. On the other hand, bronzer creates a natural, sun-kissed glow by accentuating and enhancing your cheekbones.
Setting powder :
While setting powder helps set makeup and keep it in place, it can also help even out and blend it all together.
Moving on to another part, It's all about the eye...
Eye Products For Beginners
Eye shadow base:
Just like the face primer, except it has a lightweight formula that is suitable for eye skin. It allows eye makeup to stay put all day long and makes it look more natural.
Eye shadow:
Eye shadow is a powder that you apply to your eyelids to highlight your eyes. Since there are light and dark colors, it is also considered one of the easiest cosmetics for beginners to put on.
Eyeliner:
This product is used to define the eyes and give them a more attractive and aesthetic shape. It can also be painted in many ways, depending on the shape of the eye. And those who are new to make-up face difficulties in applying it correctly.
Mascara:
It is used to define, enhance and give the appearance of fuller and longer eyelashes. Since it always manages to change the shape of the eye, I think makeup beginners will like it very much.

How to apply makeup step by step for beginners
My makeup newbies, after getting to know each product, let's begin the journey of how to apply it correctly and easily. Fasten your seat belts, we'll discover together how to perfect your makeup style and the tips that will help you achieve a flawless finish... Ready?
Step 1: Prepare your skin
First of all, I give you a piece of advice, my dear, that if this is what we are going to do on your face, whether it is a mask, a scrub, or you are going to wear makeup, you must cleanse your skin well, it must be free from all impurities. Use the right cleanser for your skin and cleanse it well to be ready for the next step!
Second, whatever your skin type, stay hydrated. My dear, never neglect the hydration of the skin before putting on makeup, it is an essential step. Five minutes before the start of makeup, apply your moisturizer . It should be a light cream that absorbs quickly.
2nd step: The primer
To ensure the success of your make-up, choose a light primer adapted to your skin. If you use a heavy version, you will create a ball or small pills. Apply the transparent cream all over your face, emphasizing the forehead, cheeks and chin.
Step 3: Foundation and concealer
Now that your skin is ready to be made up. The next step is to apply the foundation, then to conceal the imperfections. Apply a few drops of foundation on the T-zone, then blend it with a foundation brush, which is a great choice for beginners, a sponge , or even your fingers like the pros do.
You are now ready to move on to the next step, which is applying concealer . Focus on the areas you want to hide flaws, such as under the eyes, around the nostrils, and any blemishes or dark spots. Gently blend with your finger, the brush concealer or the sponge.
4th step: Setting powder
This is a quick and easy step, with a simple brush sweep over your face to ensure your makeup doesn't move during the application process. Here too, focus on the T-zone.
Step 5: Contouring And Highlighting
This step is the most complicated for beginners, but I will explain it to you in a very simple way. Find your cheekbones by vacuuming your cheekbones, then applying the contour along the hollows of your cheeks. You can place your shadow on either side of your nose; a "3" follows your hairline, below your cheekbone, and your jawline.
As for highlights, apply highlighter to areas of your face that naturally reflect light: under the jawline, on the sides of the cheeks, and around the forehead, as you would for contouring.
6th step: Tanning and blush.
Make sure the shade of bronzer you choose is only a shade or two darker than your skin tone. Using a brush, blend the bronzer around the base of your hair, on your cheekbones and along your jawline. Then merge with circular movements and place a simple touch on your nose.
Suck on your cheek until the apple of your cheeks appears contoured and apply your favorite color of blush .
Step 7: Eye make-up.
Always start by using a primer on the eyelid, you can apply it with your fingers or with a brush, then you can apply the eye shadow base or concealer which helps the eye shadow adhere better to the skin.
For beginners, you only need 3 shades: a medium matte shade, a contour shade 2-3 shades darker than leather, and a matte black shade.
When you're done, use the same color and line the arch of your eyebrows. Add kohl for better eye definition.
Finally, the mascara... use a mascara protector to prevent it from touching the face.
8th step: Lip products
Start by wetting your lips well , then use your lip liner to define the contours of your mouth. And if you want your lips to look bigger, you can define the outline too. And finally, put on your favorite color of lipstick .
Don't worry about being a makeup beginner, the experts were too! All you have to do is try many and many times until you know the secrets of makeup by yourself. Try every step by yourself and watch "How to apply makeup" videos on YouTube, it's really very useful and fun.
