If you are a makeup beginner, it\u2019s totally fine. You can stop right there\u2014or, you can level up. With brushes designed to suit your needs, and more advanced\u00a0 tools, you can get better results. So here is a guide to the best makeup tools.<\/p>\n
Primer that really primes: <\/strong>More specifically, you need a primer that actually works.\u00a0 One product that is enough to cover your entire face, eyelids included. Don\u2019t let its pinky-white color and solid texture scare you off, it dries clear and feather-light. But the main reason you should start with it is because it makes all the following steps way easier. You\u2019ll be able to apply, blend, and smooth like you know what you\u2019re doing. Your foundation won\u2019t sit chalkily in one place on your face, and your eyeshadow pigments will be easily distributed.<\/p>\n Color corrector: <\/strong>Color correctors are fun because you get to become the painter of your own face. Undereye circles? Bring out the yellows and oranges. Redness? Go with green. Looking a bit sallow and washed out? Go for purple. Apply them under concealer or foundation so you don\u2019t walk around like a human topography map. You\u2019ll want to be a bit more discerning when it comes to an undereye dark circle corrector\u2014it needs to lay without pilling or creasing.<\/p>\n Multiple foundation shades: \u00a0<\/strong>Your face isn\u2019t one color, so why should you stick to one foundation shade? Pick a lighter product to use as an undereye concealer, another one that is a smidge darker for the center part of your face\u2014nose, lower forehead, and cheeks\u2014and an even darker one for the perimeter of your face.<\/p>\n Tools: <\/strong>To really ascend to the next level of makeup, you\u2019re going to need to upgrade your tools. Got a Beautyblender? Good for you. In that case you\u2019ll only need a few eye tools to reach serious beauty levels. You don\u2019t necessarily need a concealer brush\u2014a few dabs from your finger will do, but when it comes to foundation, you\u2019ll need to make sure yours is the right one. Liquid foundation? Use a brush called a foundation brush. It\u2019s not a large brush, but its long synthetic fibers are good at moving foundation all around. Pressed powder foundations are better paired with a densely-packed, fluffy but not long-haired brush. And don\u2019t forget a blush brush. A medium-size dome is all you need for powder blushes, and in the case of cream and liquid products, just use your hands.<\/p>\n When it comes to eyes, you\u2019ll need at least three things. A small fluffy brush to deposit shadow all over, a longer-haired one to accentuate the crease, and a smudger so you can soften harsh eyeliner. Bonus points for a thin synthetic brush you can use to tap on glitter and shimmer as needed. And then you\u2019re good to go.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If you are a makeup beginner, it\u2019s totally fine. You can stop right there\u2014or, you can level up.
