Hello everyone and welcome back to our blog !! We hope you've had a good week so far. So, as you can see by the blog post title, today's post is about make up advice. We wish when we first started out using makeup we had a guide to make up. It would have saved us a lot of money !
Tip 1: Stick To The Basics
The best thing for a beginner is to stick to foundation, powder, mascara and 1 colour eyeshadow. This may seem a bit boring but trust us, you need to know yourself what sort of finish you like or colour etc. So there is no point in splashing out the cash on the brand new high end foundation that everyone is raving about. Stick to a drugstore one so then it's easy to access and you can swap and change until you find the finish you like on you. That might be matte or dewy. Also sticking to 1 eyeshadow will keep things alot easier and you won't look a wally when you try to blend 3 eyeshadows together.
Tip 2: Don't Wear It Everyday
You've gone a long time without wearing makeup, so it's a shock to the system when you start blocking your pores with foundation and powder. So try not to wear it during the week and keep it until the weekend for a while else you might irritate your skin and flare up with bad spots.
Tip 3: Work Your Way Up
Once you are comfortable with a foundation that you trust, then start to look for concealers. You might like liquid or block. So try some out. Then develop onto different shades of lipsticks. Eg nudes, berry tones or a classic red lip. After that look for a cute blusher.
Tip 4: Use Make Up Brushes
We swear by make up brushes, they help apply the make up on smoothly and help decrease the imperfections. Now we know it's tempting to use your hands to blend in your foundation. DO NOT AT ANY CIRCUMSTANCES DO THIS. Please we are begging you. It's scientifically proven that germs and bacteria spread quicker that way. Just think of the germs you would be spreading onto your face, not to mention the acne. Also this is a friendly reminder to try and clean your make up brushes once a week if not once a fortnight.
Tip 5: Do Some Research
If your not 100% sure on a certain product do some research. Go online and read the reviews on it. See what others are saying. It's also great to watch a beauty video on YouTube. Then you can see what the product is like in visual format. You are better off knowing yourself about the product before buying it.
We hope you have enjoyed this blog post. We hope it's been useful in helping the beginners out there entering the big wide world that is make up. It's a great place to explore and we wish you luck with it. Thank you for taking the time to read this blog post !! Hope you have a good day !!
