Every girl wants to be 100% attractive, skillfully hide her shortcomings and emphasize her strengths. Some people are naturally blessed with amazing beauty and practically do not need cosmetics, while others know how to transform their face so skillfully that those around them are only surprised and admired by the beautiful appearance of a woman.

Nowadays, girls already in middle school begin to apply eyeliner, paint eyelashes and nails, and they already have a whole arsenal of cosmetics. I remember how, as a teenager, I painted my lips with burgundy lipstick, covered my eyes with everything I could, applied glitter to my body, and dyed my hair purple.

Do not forget that the final step in the art of makeup is a pleasant and appropriate scent for the occasion. Now the choice of eau de parfum is so large that girls and women can buy perfume in both the nearest store and in the online store of inexpensive perfumes.

More than half of women are fascinated by all these jars and tubes with new cosmetic products; as soon as sales happen in stores, all the goods are swept off the shelves. Sometimes, when girls come home after such an invasion, they realize that they have gained too much, but nothing can be done; cosmetic shopaholism cannot be cured.

Continuing the topic of cosmetics, let's make list of makeup products necessary for every girl:

1. Makeup base. This is a transparent cream that evens out unevenness and roughness of the skin, preparing it for the application of foundation.
2. Concealer, highlighter or primer. The first is a corrector and masks skin imperfections, such as redness, pigmentation and others. Highlighter can add freshness to the face, give shine to tired eyes, it seems to illuminate the shadowed areas on the face.
3. Concealer. Evens out the complexion, especially if there are pimples and redness. Protects skin from harmful environmental influences.
4. Powder or cream-powder to set makeup. For home use, it is better to buy loose powder and an application brush with natural bristles. Put compact powder in your purse when going out to “powder your nose.”
5. Blush. They come in balls, crumbly, and hard. Apply a little blush to your cheekbones and you will look fresh and rested. You can also use blush or a so-called bronzer to emphasize or correct the shape of your face and hide imperfections.
6. Eyebrow pencil or shadow. Choose according to your hair color: for blondes - gray, for brown-haired women - brown, for brunettes - black.
7. Eye pencils or eyeliner. Some girls cannot imagine life without eyeliner, others prefer multi-colored pencils. Now there are a bunch of different colors on sale, with which you can create a unique look for any color of clothing.
8. Sharpener for cosmetic pencils. Be sure to buy them, pencils get dull quickly.
9. Mascara. Some people like lengthening ones, others create volume; water-resistant ones are suitable for relaxing on the water. Blue and green ink are good in the summer, when you want rich colors and bright flowers.
10. Eyeshadow. Each woman is suitable for different shades depending on her appearance type. But everyone, without exception, suits nude shades, that is, natural, beige, brown. Buy a palette with these shadows and learn how to do basic daytime makeup.
11. Lip pencil. With its help, the contour of the lips is emphasized or corrected.
12. Lipstick, lip gloss. Every girl has her favorite shades that highlight her individuality and suit a certain image.
13. Set of brushes and applicators. A large and fluffy brush is needed for applying powder and blush, a flat brush for applying eye shadow, and small brushes for blending concealer, lipstick, and eye shadow.
14. Cotton swabs, sponges. When applying makeup, there are often involuntary blunders, when the hand twitched and “the arrow went in the wrong direction,” or when the shadows were applied too intensely. In general, to remove excess makeup, you need to have cotton wool in any form.
15. I would like to include makeup remover in the list of “things you need for makeup.” This is a necessity if you wear cosmetics.
16. Cosmetic bag. You will definitely have to put all your cosmetics somewhere so as not to clutter the whole house. Buy a beautiful and comfortable cosmetic bag, preferably a larger one; in a small one it’s not very convenient to look for a lost pencil, you’ll have to shake everything out.

The result is a small list of makeup cosmetics from which you can choose something that suits your needs. Not all girls, for example, use blush or concealer; many do not apply makeup foundation, but immediately apply foundation, or even just powder.

Anyone can put on makeup and powder; it is important to observe moderation. If you don't know how to apply eye shadow or blush correctly, watch video tutorials online. Create new images, experiment, surprise your loved ones and friends!

The main thing is that you like yourself!

Facilities

Many women already know what cosmetic products should be used to create high-quality, stylish and effective makeup. However, those ladies who are still learning the basics of the science of beauty may not fully understand the full significance of the situation. Many people think that they can create a good make-up using only a few cosmetic products. However, it is not.

Here are the products that every beauty should have in her makeup bag:

• Base. This is a very important, main stage of creating makeup. It is worth noting that makeup base, foundation, primer are one and the same thing. These substances are designed to prepare your dermis for makeup; they make it more durable. Of course, for everyday makeup you can do without this step, but for a party, wedding or other special occasion you should not neglect this product.

Typically, a makeup base contains a variety of useful components, but the use of a moisturizer should not be excluded. There are bases for the face, eyelids, eyelashes, lips. You will make the tone of the dermis more even, you will be able to smooth out wrinkles, make the skin matte, and narrow pores.

You need to apply this cosmetic product with your fingers. After application, be sure to wait for the base to dry. If this is not done, the cosmetic product will mix with the foundation and roll off.

With the help of an eyeshadow base, you will keep your shadows on all day long. Moreover, such products have a mattifying effect.

Eyelash primer helps give length and volume to hairs. You will be able to apply mascara evenly. It is easy to find an analogue for mascara - a special strengthening gel. This product should be applied carefully, distributing it evenly.

For lips, a base is also necessary. It will help make their surface smoother and eliminate minor cracks. The lipstick will lie smoother and become more durable. The composition of such products includes nutrients and active elements. They will help protect your skin from the sun and rejuvenate it. Apply cosmetics easily and carefully using a brush.

• Concealer. This is another essential element for perfect makeup. It will help protect your dermis from the negative effects of the external environment, make your skin smooth, and also help hide imperfections and defects of the skin. You should definitely choose the right product according to your skin type.

To choose the right shade of a cosmetic product, you should first apply a little product to your wrist. Only do this in good daylight. The product should be invisible on your skin, it completely matches its tone. If you have redness, you can use a yellow-based foundation.

Another piece of advice that experienced cosmetologists give is to use different shades of foundation (depending on the time of year). Store cosmetics in the refrigerator or in a nightstand, away from sunlight.

• Concealer. This tool will become your indispensable assistant for every day. With its help, you can hide various dermal defects, dark circles under the eyes, pimples and redness. The product will help fight the first signs of aging.
• Powder. With the help of powder you can disguise various defects of the dermis, as well as eliminate oily sheen. This product helps fix makeup. There are different types of product available to purchase. It can be granulated, pressed, or loose powder.

If you use such products at home, it is better to use crumbly options. You need to take a wide brush and apply the powder with leisurely movements. The pressed version will be an excellent assistant on the road. You can take this powder with you on a trip or to work; it can easily fit even in a small purse or pocket. This tool is easy to use.

• Blush. Blush will help give your face a fresh, healthy and radiant look. Their types are similar to powder. The substances are applied with a special extended kabuki brush. The main rule when applying this product is to use it in moderation. If you overdo it with blush, your makeup will look very ridiculous.
• Pencil. You should choose medium-hard cosmetics. It is with a pencil that you will draw a distinct line, without damaging the dermis. You can replace the eyeliner with liquid eyeliner. Remember that you will need more experience and skill to cope with it.

There are also eyebrow pencils. They will help draw an expressive bend line. This way you can make your look even more charming. You can also use a pencil for your lips. It should be fatty - and at the same time hard. This way you can highlight your lips quickly and easily.

• Shadows. This is another important element of a cosmetic bag. You should select a cosmetic product that suits your shade, as well as other parameters. Apply eyeshadow using a brush with firm bristles.
• Mascara. No stylish make-up would be complete without this product. You can create an expressive look, make your eyelashes thicker, longer, and more voluminous. Modern manufacturers produce a variety of versions of this product. You can easily find exactly what you need. Choose a product based on your goal. For some it will be long eyelashes, for others it will be thick.
• Lipstick/gloss. An obligatory moment in any makeup is the use of lipstick and gloss. It is worth noting that a quality product should last quite a long time. You should not buy too cheap options; they may not be very durable and of poor quality. You can also use lip gloss.

Accessories

As for accessories, they also play an important role. To apply cosmetic products, you will need a variety of brushes. Let them be of high quality, and their pile should be natural. It is worth noting that for each cosmetic product you should take a separate brush.

The application of cosmetics will depend on their purpose. For example, if you need to apply foundation, you can do it with your fingers. However, remember to keep your hands clean. If you want to apply foundation to the dermis, then a special sponge, as well as a brush, fingers, and applicators are suitable for this.

If you prefer to use a brush, then you should stock up on short, flat and wide options. It is with the help of this item that you can evenly distribute the cosmetic product over the surface. If you want to use a concealer, you can choose a small brush.

As for loose powder, it is better to distribute it with a puff or a brush that looks like a shaving brush. But a flat brush is perfect for spreading blush.

Other brushes will be useful for the eyes. To blend the shadows well, you should use a square brush, the bristles of which are dense and short. A product with a beveled end is suitable for highlighting the contour of the eyelids. The drop brush applies shadows well.

For eyebrows, you should also use a special brush. It is often replaced with a comb. You can give the hairs the desired direction. The final stage of high-quality makeup will be the application of lipstick or gloss. This can also be done with a special brush. The main thing is that its tip is pointed. This way you can distribute the lipstick or gloss evenly, and the cosmetic product itself will last much longer.

It is worth noting that brushes require close attention and special care. You need to wash them thoroughly with water once a month. Typically, baby shampoo can be used for this purpose. Then you will need to dry the product well.

When creating the perfect makeup, you need cotton swabs, cotton pads, and makeup remover. They will help you easily correct possible errors.

What products are in your basic cosmetic bag? Share in the comments.

Decorative cosmetics have become an integral part of the daily lives of many girls around the world. Makeup can not only hide imperfections, but also significantly emphasize advantages. What products are included in the cosmetic set and how to choose them correctly, we will consider later in the article.

Main types and applications

The choice of cosmetics for each day is purely individual. Some girls prefer light, natural makeup, lightly tinting their eyes with mascara and powdering their nose. The other half of the fair sex uses all kinds of makeup products.

Base

Any makeup begins with preparing the face: using toner and moisturizer. After completing the procedures, you need to apply a makeup base. It serves as a kind of protective layer between the skin and the foundation. And also on top of the primer, the foundation is applied more evenly, there is less risk of pilling, and its durability is significantly increased.

Makeup bases come in different structures. Each is selected for individual skin characteristics:

• cream bases are considered universal and are suitable for all skin types;
• water-based liquid primers (sold in bottles with a dropper) are most suitable for those with oily skin;
• Primers with a gel texture cope with the problem of mild dry skin and perfectly even out the complexion.

To achieve a matte effect, apply a matte makeup primer. This base is suitable for girls with oily skin.

If you have problems with a pale complexion and dull skin, then primers with a radiance effect do an excellent job of this task. Reflective shiny particles in the makeup base will create the effect of a “glowing from within” face and will give him a healthy and rested look.

It is recommended to apply the base not to the entire face, but only to places with enlarged pores and to the most sebaceous areas. Most often this place is the T-zone (forehead, chin, nose and the area around the wings of the nose).

Foundation, concealer and powder

Foundation is a makeup product that corrects complexion, evens out tone, and masks rashes. It also protects the skin from wind, dust and low temperatures. The choice of foundation should be approached very carefully. There are many types of foundations.

• Cream camouflage- a foundation with a very dense coverage. More suitable for professional makeup, too “overlapping” for everyday wear, as it is very noticeable on the skin. Typically used for filming and photo shoots.

• Liquid foundation- a universal version of the base. It is optimal to choose with a medium level of coverage. Great for everyday makeup.

• BB and CC creams. Appearing first on the Korean cosmetics market, these types of foundation have managed to take their place in the hearts of our compatriots. They apply perfectly, adapt to skin color like chameleons, and protect from exposure to sunlight.

• Cushion– a relatively new product on the cosmetic market, distinguished by its light and thin coverage, perfect for the summer period. I loved it for its compactness and ease of use when traveling.

• Concealer– a cosmetic product that allows you to cover up pronounced rashes on the face, bruises under the eyes, freckles or age spots. There are concealer in stick, pencil, liquid, dry, cream.

• Powder– a concluding and consolidating agent in the preparation of the face. Increases the durability of the foundation and creates an even matte tone. It should be applied to areas where the skin has an oily sheen. The texture of the powders is loose, compact, cream powder, terracotta, shimmering and in the form of multi-colored balls.

Blush

Blush gives a natural and healthy color to the face, and also corrects its shape. The structure is dry, liquid, baked, in sticks and tints.

You can give your face a certain shape using other means besides blush.

Sculptor is a means for visually correcting the face. It can be used to highlight cheekbones, narrow the nose, highlight the jawline and darken the hairline. The texture of sculptors is dry and creamy.

A type of sculptor is a bronzer (bronzer) - a cosmetic product designed to give the skin a golden shine and a tanning effect.

Highlighter is another decorative cosmetics product, designed for sculpting the face by highlighting individual areas. This product is applied to the cheekbones, forehead and chin, if they do not have a natural oily sheen, to the tip of the nose, under the tip of the eyebrow and gently above the upper lip. Highlighters come in dry, liquid and cream textures, as well as with large or smaller particles of glitter to give a natural glow to the face.

Pencil

Makeup pencils are used to shape eyebrows, eyes and lips. When applying eye makeup, the pencil perfectly colors the space between eyelashes. For this, it is best to use water-resistant products. You can also use a pencil to emphasize the shape of your eyes by drawing arrows or lining the area of ​​the lower eyelid.

Usage eyebrow pencil is one of the most convenient means for their design. By choosing a color that matches your hair shade, you can easily give your eyebrows the desired shape and model it.

Lip pencil Use before applying lipstick to clearly define the contour. The latter can be adjusted. If you draw a contour along the lips along the skin, the mouth will visually appear larger. If your lips are too plump, then you need to apply foundation on them, and then draw the desired contour.

In this case, the “line” can be moved only by 1-2 mm, only then will the lips look natural.

Eyeliner (liner) is also used for eye makeup. Its purpose is to emphasize the depth or softness of eye makeup. There are gel, liquid and cream liners.

The arrows are brighter compared to pencil lines, and the look is softer. Drawn with eyeliner, they look more beautiful, and you can adjust their thickness using pressure. But application requires a certain skill, unlike a hard pencil.

Eyeshadow

Decorative pigment applied to the eyelids. The right shade will highlight the natural color of your eyes. Shadows allow you to visually correct the shape of your eyelids, making your eyes larger and more expressive.

The texture of the shadows is dry and gel. Dry ones are divided into pigmented, baked and pressed. Gel ones come in sticks, cream and liquid. Eye shadows can also be divided into:

• matte– used as base shadows for natural makeup;
• satin– with the effect of dewy skin and slight radiance;
• shimmer– with a more pronounced shine and large sparkles;
• duochromes- shadows in which the shade changes and depends on the angle of incidence of the light.

The main criterion for shadows is pigmentation. Eyeshadows with strong pigmentation have a bright color in the first layer of application, are used more economically and allow you to create more intense and long-lasting makeup.

Mascara

Mascara is a decorative tool for emphasizing and giving eyelashes a more saturated color. There are waterproof and non-waterproof mascaras. They are also divided according to their purpose: some add volume to the eyelashes, others make them longer, and others give a beautiful curve.

High-quality mascara remains durable throughout the day and does not fall off under the eyes.

Waterproof mascara is suitable for rainy, snowy and windy weather, going to the beach and swimming pool. And special products are required to remove them from eyelashes.

Lipstick, gloss

Decorative cosmetics product for coloring and moisturizing lips. Based on texture, there are cream lipsticks in sticks, liquid ones, and lip glosses. Based on the presence of shine, they can also be divided into glossy, matte, satin, satin and varnish. Lipsticks also come in waterproof and non-waterproof varieties.

Liquid lipsticks are intended for the warm season, as in the cold they contribute to chapped lips. This is an intermediate option between lipstick sticks and lip gloss.

Glitter is usually clear, but can come in a variety of shades and glitter fillings. They add volume to the lips and can be used over lipstick or as a stand-alone product.

Features of a large makeup set

Unlike the basic set of cosmetics that is kept in every girl's makeup bag, there are large makeup kits that are often used by professional makeup artists.

Most often, such sets are presented in the form of a multi-tiered case., inside which there are many shades and textures of eyeshadow and eyebrows, separate cells with lipsticks and lip gloss options. In such sets you can see several shades of pressed blush, a sculpting product, and face powder. Essentially, this is a complete set of makeup cosmetics for all occasions in one set. A frequent addition to the case are several brushes for applying eye shadow or lipstick, but professionals strongly recommend purchasing them separately.

Good brushes are expensive, but the purchase is completely worth it. The quality of the applied makeup directly depends on the quality of the chosen brushes.

The versatility of such sets is also a disadvantage. If the shades do not match the color type, then they remain untouched. It turns out that about half of the makeup products are not used. Therefore, it is more profitable to buy small sets, for example, lipstick or eye shadow palettes, and purchase the rest of the products separately, taking into account your skin type and color.

But such sets are an excellent gift for teenagers. The girl has the opportunity to experiment with different techniques for applying makeup. But cosmetics must be suitable for young skin, and this must be indicated in the description of the set.

List of cosmetics for every day

The list of decorative cosmetics that is used daily is individual for each girl. The basic set usually includes a base for foundation, then foundation and powder, which is applied at the end of the makeup.

If there are red rashes or pimples on the skin, they must be masked with concealer. Otherwise, they will iron through the applied tone and give off a blue color. Blush and a face corrector are a must.

They will give the skin a healthy look and slightly correct the contour of the face. Eye and eyebrow makeup requires pencils, eye shadow and mascara. Then lipstick or lip gloss is applied. If the shape of the lips is good, then there is no need to correct it with a pencil.

At the same time, for nude makeup you will need more toning and correcting products, including primer and highlighter. Eyeshadow and lipstick should be natural shades. When choosing facial cosmetics, it is first important to determine your skin type (dry, normal, combination or oily). The color scheme is selected in accordance with its color type, which is determined by appearance.

For example, red lipstick suits everyone, but only if the right shade is chosen. There are many different classifications, but it is better to select the best options by trying on different images in practice.

You should also definitely read the ingredients list of products for the presence of substances that may cause allergies. It is recommended to test the new product by applying a little to thin skin in the bend of the elbow. If there is a lack of vitamins, which manifests itself in dry skin or lips, you should pay attention to cosmetics that contain vitamins and minerals, aloe oil, avocado, calendula and other natural ingredients.

It is worth paying attention to the texture of cosmetic products. It should be homogeneous, without any lumps or “sand”, without a sharp unpleasant odor.

It is important to choose good quality cosmetics. Not only the quality of makeup, but also the health of the skin depends on it.

To create a professional make-up, cosmetics are not enough, you also need tools. With the help of such devices, makeup is applied faster, more accurately and lasts longer.

So, what tools are needed for facial makeup?

• Concealer brush.

Concealer brushes are small in size with a rounded end and are made from artificial material. The skin under the eyes is especially thin, so the brush should be soft. This tool will gently distribute concealer around the eyes and nose. In addition, this brush is convenient for masking spot defects.

• Powder brush.

The set comes with a special sponge with powder, but it applies it in a too dense layer. To distribute the powder in an optimal thin layer, use a thick brush with medium-length bristles. These brushes are fluffy and voluminous; use them to apply powder in a circular motion. Choose powder brushes made from natural bristles.

To remove excess powder or other makeup from your face, use a fan brush. Such a tool will quickly shake off everything unnecessary.

• Blush brush.

For blush, a wide brush with an angled end is suitable. This tool will evenly distribute blush across your cheeks and highlight your cheekbones. Apply blush lightly to give your cheeks a natural rosy tint.

• Eyeshadow brush.

There are many eye makeup tools. Typically, eyeshadow brushes are thin with a rounded end and are made from natural bristles. These tools blend shadows evenly and help place the right accents. An interesting color gradient, smoky eyes or other unusual eye makeup will not work without a quality brush.

• Brush for lipstick or gloss.

Such brushes are usually flat, with a pointed end, and are made from artificial materials. Choose a good quality brush that will help you apply the lipstick in a neat, even layer.
