BEAUTY: COMPLETE MAKEUP SET AND THEIR USES.

Do you ever wonder how our ‘internet slay queens’ create flawless and gorgoeus look using the power of makeup?

Well, today we bring you the answer to the above question so you can achieve the same look: bold, fierce or subtle.

First before caking up your face, make sure your face is healthy and don’t use makeup to cover up fresh breakout and burns.

Always invest in good face serum like La Mer (visit cremedelamer.com) or Clinque (Clinque.com) or Fresh Rose Deep Hydration Face Serum (Fresh.com), depending on your budget. Slather your face with these illuminating face serums for a glowy look. Please note: drinking water, eating vegetables and fruits will give you a natural glow at a cheaper rate.

Complete Makeup Set:

1. Primer

This is applied on the face as a base for foundation so that the make up can last longer and look smoother.

 

1. Foundation

It’s a makeup applied on the face and neck to create an even tone. Before buying foundation, ensure it’s tested on your arm or face to get your exact skin tone. Getting one shade lighter or darker might make you look like a clown, therefore get your correct shade to avoid makeup fail.

There are 4 types of foundations to choose from depending on one’s skin type and they include tinted, liquid, cream and dual finish foundations.

 

1. Concealer

It’s used to hide blemishes or under eye circles and in recent times, it is used for face contouring.
