Applying Makeup is nothing less than an art. It can completely transform a person by enhancing the facial features. If you are one of those who has recently become interested in Makeup, you are in for great fun ahead! But before you start dreaming of those captivating smoky eyes, you need to learn the basics. Read on for a complete beginner’s guide to Makeup.
Every Good Thing Begins With A Good Foundation!
The most important tip here would be to pick a foundation that best matches your skin tone. Start by applying it all over your face and neck. Use a beauty blender or a flat makeup brush to blend it properly and to avoid the cakey look. Whether you want a neutral look or some bold makeup, foundation is the first step.
Define The Brow
Well-shaped brows can enhance the look up to a great extent. Visit your nearest Glam studios to get those perfectly arched eyebrows. To add greater definition and to make the brows look thicker, use an eyebrow pencil. It is good to begin by drawing an outline and then filling it in.
Go For Eyeshadow
This is where things get a little complex. The choice of eyeshadow determines whether the look would be bold or neutral. So, pick the colours carefully. For beginners though, it is advisable not to experiment too much with colours because you won’t know how things would turn out. Keep it simple with a basic shade like pink or brown.
Eyeliner Does The Trick
Eyeliner is the second basic essential after foundation. Apply it on the upper as well as lower waterline for that hot intense look. The most important tip would be: DO NOT expect perfection in the first attempt(s)! Learning to apply that perfect liner takes a lot of practice. Be patient and keep practising. You will soon be rewarded with the skill of applying perfect eyeliner!
Concealer Is A Must

Although foundation covers most of the blemishes, you still need concealer for extra coverage. It is particularly handy in covering up those obstinate dark circles. So, make sure to use a concealer.
Blush Like A Flower!
Who does not want flushed pink cheeks? To get the look just right, apply a little blush on your cheekbone. Don’t apply it all over the cheek. Remember to blend it in with a light hand to make it look more natural.
Complete With A Lip Colour
Top it all with the right lip colour. Make sure you moisturize your lips before applying the lipstick. Again, since you are a beginner, go for a light basic shade. You can apply a double coat to make it look more prominent.
Follow these simple and easy tips and you will soon realize it is not as difficult as it seems. Just a little practice and you will be a pro in no time!
