Basic Makeup: Necessary Items

• Moisturizer: in addition to helping to maintain healthy skin texture, moisturizer ensures a more beautiful and natural finish to makeup.
• Facial sunscreen: protecting the skin of the face against the sun’s rays is extremely important to ensure the perfect make-up. Just like applying moisturizer, this is a habit that should be cultivated on a daily basis.
• Foundation or BB cream: in liquid, cream or stick, foundation and BB cream are ideal for evening out the skin and smoothing imperfections such as blemishes and dark circles. It is important to choose the product that best suits your skin tone.
• Concealer: the concealer should be applied right after the foundation to, as the name implies, correct some imperfections that are still apparent. Great way out for that annoying pimple that decided to show up at the last minute. It also serves to brighten the face, being applied to key points such as under the eyes, center of the forehead and chin.
• Blush: giving a touch of color to the cheeks is the role of blush, which can be found in powder, cream or liquid versions. The product should be applied on the cheekbones, always lightly to avoid an exaggerated mark.
• Eye pencil or eyeliner: these are wildcard products to have in your makeup bag. They can be used to make light markings on the eyes or even to help compose a glamorous makeup.
• Mascara: a great ally for women, mascara enhances the eyelashes and gives an up in the look. If you prefer something less exaggerated, you can just use the mascara and dispense with the eyeliner.
• Lipstick or gloss: to finish off with a flourish, choose a lipstick or gloss that will give the final touch to your makeup.

It is worth remembering that these items make up a basic makeup but are not mandatory. You can use foundation without concealer, just pencil and not mascara, and so on. First of all, knowing what best suits your personality and style is the best way to do the perfect makeup!
