Here are some makeup artist tips for beginners to help you learn how to get your makeup right:
- Take care of your skin: Healthy and well-groomed skin is the foundation of any makeup look. Moisturise your skin regularly, use sunscreen and keep it clean.
- Use quality cosmetics: Good cosmetics are important. Choose products that suit your skin type and tone.
- Make-up base (primer): Applying a primer before your makeup will help improve its staying power and create a smoother canvas for applying other products.
- Know your skin type: It’s important to choose products that match your skin type. For example, if you have oily skin, choose mattifying products.
- Tools: Good brushes and sponges will help create a more even and professional application of makeup.
- Learn to contour: Contouring and highlighter can visually change the shape of your face. Learn how to properly highlight your cheekbones, nose and other facial features.
- Don’t forget your eyebrows: Well-shaped eyebrows give your face a distinctive look. You can use an eyebrow pencil or shadow.
- Practise: Practice makes a master. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different make-up styles and learn from your mistakes.
- Pay attention to eye makeup: Eye makeup can be tricky but important. Learn how to make even lines of eyeliner, choose shadows that match your eye colour, and apply mascara without clumps.
- Be gentle: Apply make-up gently and don’t apply too much pressure. Smooth movements will help avoid unevenness.
- Remove make-up at night: Always remove make-up before going to bed so that your skin can rest and recover.
- Learn makeup techniques: There are many online tutorials and videos that can teach you different makeup techniques. Keep up with the latest in the world of beauty and fashion.
Remember that makeup is an art and it should be something you enjoy. Don’t be afraid to experiment and find your own style.
