Hi Beauties! Are you prepared to step into the world of makeup? If you're an amateur who is looking to step into the glam game, we have the ideal guide for ‘makeup for beginners’ for you! With our simple, easy-to-follow tips, picking a makeup brush would no longer be a task. Let's get right into it!
First Things First: The Makeup Layers
Let's simplify things for you! With countless products and steps, makeup may be overwhelming for beginners. Here, we’ll show you some of the easiest ways on how to do makeup! Let’s get into the basics first.
Primer-
Consider it as your makeup's best friend. A good primer allows your makeup to last longer and look smoother.
Base-
A good base goes a long way. Generally consisting of a concealer and a foundation, it's meant to even out your skin tone, giving you a smooth, perfect canvas.
Eye makeup-
Here's where you go for your fluttering eye makeup looks with brow pencils, eyeshadow, eyeliner and mascara.
Lip makeup-
Like a cherry on the cake, we usually finish off makeup by using a lip gloss or lipstick for some juicy luscious lips. Totally kissable, right?
Now that you've gotten an idea of makeup layering let's dive into a step-by-step guide to create your visual masterpiece!
Step 1: Primer
Like a BFF, your primer's job is to make sure your makeup stays put all day long, minimising pores and wrinkles - which is why it's important to find the right one for you. Try out our City-Proof Hydrating Primer. This moisturising primer is a perfect product for your beginners makeup. It contains coffee and charcoal water which helps your skin glow from inside! If you're searching for a more mattifying primer, the Pore Mattifying Primer is ideal for all skin types, reduces skin irritation, and provides an even complexion.
Grab your primer and follow these simple steps:
- Squeeze a small amount of primer onto your hand.
- Apply the primer onto your face, mostly around your T-zone area.
- Rub it in with your fingers in circular motion, or dab it until absorbed with a makeup sponge.
Step 2: Base
One of the most basic makeup steps, this is the part where you create your skin filter! You'll need a foundation, concealer and a blush.
For the foundation to look even on your skin, choose a shade close to your skin tone or mix two shades to create your own custom tone. LoveChild has consciously crafted the Lights Camera Foundation! 4K Matte Finish to complement all Indian skin tones - so you’ll be prepared for whatever the day throws at you!
For the concealer, if you prefer brighter eyes, opt for a shade lighter than your skin tone. If you prefer an even skin tone, go for a concealer that is the same shade as your skin tone. LoveChild's Concealer Cameo is ready to make your skin seem amazing by helping conceal flaws and acne scars! This amazing creamy concealer smoothes out wrinkles and evens out skin tone!
Wondering how to choose your perfect shade? Check out our Foundation Shade Finder and Concealer Shade Finder for an easy selection process!
How to use the Foundation:
- Apply a small amount of foundation to your chin, nose, cheeks, and forehead.
- To mix it all in, use a brush like our Swipe Right Blending Brush for a well-blended look, as well as your fingers!
- Mix, mix, mix! For a flawless finish, be sure to smooth it down to your neck.
How to apply Concealer:
Identify the areas of your face which you wish to conceal or brighten. Usually the areas that are most often concealed are the undereyes and the region along the bridge of the nose.
Dab on a desired amount of concealer using your fingertips or a makeup sponge and there you go! All set for the next step!
How to apply the Blush:
-
Smiles! Take a little bit of blush on your fingers, make some dots and apply some on your cheekbones for a flushed look.
Try our Band Baaja Blush Dewy Matte Finish Creme Blush for that rich pigmented colour to adorn your cheeks - it’s the perfect blush for your basic makeup kit.
- For a lifted, revitalised appearance, sweep the blush upward towards your temples.
- For everyday glam, a little flush on the cheeks and nose is ideal.
Step 3: Eye makeup
Alright beautiful, your makeup should make your eyes pop since they are a portal to the soul! Pick an Eyebrow Pencil, Kajal, and an Eyeliner, if you're feeling really sultry!
Eyebrow pencils are one of the beginner's makeup products that instantly transform your appearance from "meh" to "wow"! Whether you want to fill in your brows or give them a small arch, our Brow-Me Points Brow Binge Palette is the perfect pick for both. It’s super easy to use and lets you define your beauty with ease. Let's find out how!
How to set your Eyebrows:
- Use the Brow-Me Points and softly fill in any areas that lack density.
- Stick to your brows' natural contour, keeping them soft for a more ‘at-ease’ appearance.
- For a smooth, blended finish, run the spoolie brush (given on the other side of the product) through your brows.
A Kajal can truly make a difference to your eyes, whether you choose a delicate everyday line or a strong and bold look. Try our Nazar Na Lage Kajal if you seek a long-lasting, smudge-proof look that deepens and emphasises your eyes' natural beauty.
How to apply Kajal:
- For a smooth line, begin at the inner corner of your eye and go outward with little strokes.
- Depending on the mood you want to create, you may go as thick or thin as you wish!
Designed for confidence, an eyeliner helps define your eyes by adding structure to the face. Our Wing For Your Eyes liner is both waterproof and smudge proof, giving a lasting confident finish. Whether it’s a classic line or a cat-eye effect, elevate your eyes with this must-have eye makeup essential.
How to apply Eyeliner:
- Draw a line with the brush just above the lash line. Depending on how thick you’d like, you could go for a thick and bold eye look or a thin and delicate finish.
- To get the winged liner effect, add an extra flick at the outer corner for greater impact. Meow!
Step 4: Lips
Desire a daring, kissable pout? Choose a LoveChild lipstick in your favourite colour—shades of red, pink, and nude are always in style. Our Luxe-Matte Lipstick leaves a soft velvet finish on the lips, capturing that regal glam.
Also, Lip Gelato Tinted Lip Oil can be used if you’re looking for a more moisturising and glossy finish.
- To give your lips a fuller look, outline them with a lip liner.
- Use lipstick directly from the bullet to fill up any gaps or, for more exact application, use a lip brush.
- For a lasting tint, blot with a tissue and add a second layer.
