BEGINNER MAKEUP MUST HAVES: A TUTORIAL

Hello! Welcome back to the channel. I hope you're doing really really well. Today I have a makeup tutorial for you but all the products I'm going to be using are going to be products that I think a beginner will find very useful. So essentially I'm going to be building out a beginner-friendly kit of products. I'm going to give you an affordable and a expensive product recommendation so you can choose which one you want to get or try and yeah this was going to be most relevant to you if you are looking to find like a go-to makeup look that you can just do no matter the occasion and it's just going to be very simple and minimal and it's also going to be extra relevant to you if you have dry and normal skin types. I do not have oily and I don't have that much pigmentation on my face that I need to cover on a daily basis so just keep that in mind. As for prepping the skin, do not get confused by setting spray, primer. Those are all nice-to-haves but they're not must-haves. Just before you start off your makeup, make sure you have either a layer of moisturizer or a layer of sunscreen on, one that does not pill or make your makeup to break. So these are my two recommendations. Episoft AC is an amazing affordable sunscreen and as for a moisturizer, Physiogel is amazing. If you're looking for something more bougie then you can check out BOJ's Sun Relief Sunscreen. This is SPF 50 and it does not break or separate your makeup and makes your skin look very dewy. And as for the expensive moisturizer, I highly recommend Embryolisse Light Cream Sensitive. Even the concentrate is nice but this one doesn't have fragrance. I've already applied Physiogel on my face so I'm just gonna jump right into foundation. You might want to look into skin tint and foundations if you need more coverage on a daily basis. I do not. I prefer to build that coverage using concealer and I think that's a better place to start if you're a beginner as well. So just diving right into concealer. As for an affordable product, Maybelline Age Rewind is very very good. It gives you a lot of coverage without being too heavy on the skin. I am in the shade 122 Sand. It is a little bit light for me but I make do because I like to layer like bronzer and stuff. So yeah, I'm just gonna apply that under my eyes, a little bit on my forehead, a little bit here, a little bit here. Not too much concealer. Again, I do not need that much concealer but if you do have acne and pigmentation, you can do something called spot concealing. My expensive alternative is MAC's Studio Fix Concealer. I'm also recommending this keeping in mind the fact that in the drugstore category, it's sometimes very difficult to find your shade match and MAC has probably all the shades you can possibly imagine and their store experience is quite helpful if you're a beginner. They do match the product to your skin tone. So yeah, this is a very nice formula. It's a very like great place to begin your makeup journey like MAC is everyone's first makeup brand. To blend this out, I'm taking a pack brush in number 231. I'm doing tapping motions because that is the only motion that can help product stay where you put it and once you get to the outer half of your face, start blending it in circular motions. That's going to spread out the coverage. Do you get what I mean? Tapping motions if you want to keep the coverage where you put the concealer or any other cream product and brushing motions for when you want to spread it out. I'm just going to zoom you in a little bit. So you can see you've got like a nice one layer of color to work with. If you have a lot of pigmentation on your eyelid that you want to cover you can put the same concealer onto your eyes. Usually I like to work with the pigmentation that I have on my eyelid which is more like a brownish orange color which is why I really really like peachy orangey nude tones on my face because it ties into my pigmentation and that's like a pro tip if you have pigmentation work with it not against it. Now if you want to add a little bit more coverage you can take the concealer again as I am and I'm just going to take a little bit on my finger and put it on my area and just tap it into the skin. So the next thing we're going to do is dive right into our contour slash bronzer. I like doing something called contour bronzing that's a term that I came up with because it's in between contouring and bronzing. You don't really need contouring like the pro level contouring with the ashy gray color and all that on like an everyday basis so I'm going in with tipsy beauty's silk cushion contour in the shade maple syrup. It is a very like dark brown chocolatey color but the thing you're gonna do is put it on the back of your hand before you apply it on your face otherwise it's just going to overwhelm your face and make it too dark and difficult to blend out and we don't want that so you're going to take it warm it up nicely on the back of your hand and you can literally just go in and place it right below your cheekbone and above the hollow of your cheek then a little bit on the forehead and just to blend these two out maybe a little bit on the outer edge and if you you're gonna take the same brush it literally doesn't matter this is how I started makeup I used one brush for everything so I'm gonna use the same foundation brush in fact it makes it easier to blend out product because it already has a little bit of a concealer from before so I'm just doing rubbing motions now because I don't want the coverage to stay where I put it because it is contour does that make sense it's the opposite of what we did for the concealer so we're just going to blend it downwards for this part you're going to do in circular motions same thing for the forehead that looks pretty nice warmed up my face in like the best way then we're gonna put the same contour product why do I say contour contour anyway we're gonna take it on this Kryolan eyeshadow brush number art 1707 it is literally my favorite blending brush of all time simply because it is so cheap and effective so for the eyes we're gonna place it on the outer corner and then start going in circular motions very small circular motions and take it to the inner corner and once you reach the mid-range just start doing sweeping motions that's just gonna blend out your shadow you can see it's a very subtle difference but that's what I mean by working with your pigmentation and not against it if you have cool tone pigmentation on your eyes or on your face anywhere then you can work with cool tone colors especially around the eyes yeah so we're going to do the same thing we're going to take a little bit more and now go underneath the eye and finish the other eye my expensive contour product recommendation a contour is the Clinique chubby stick this is in the shade 01 curvy contour it's the nicest it's very similar to this one actually you see okay next we're gonna go into blush for which I have been loving the Kero multi stick in the shade 01 vintage rose this is such a nice pinky color like I just love it now again we're gonna put it on the back of our hand look at that color stipple in your brush pick up the same brush and then go right underneath your eyeball on your cheek do tapping motions because you want to keep the blush where you're putting it tie it in you can put a little bit on your nose and take it onto your forehead and a little bit of line now if you want to keep your look very very monotone you can add a little bit more use your same eye shadow brushes earlier and just blend it into your eye to get the same color on your eyes as well as for an expensive blush the huda beauty blush filter has been such a lovely formula that I've been liking a lot so there you go it's a nice nudie pink color now essentially our base is done if you want more coverage you can add a little bit more concealer on like specific spots where you need it if you want more bronzer you can go ahead and add that if you want more blush you can go ahead and add that but each step of the way you're gonna check in the mirror my mirror is here you're gonna check what you're looking like from far away and make sure you like the overall look of your look if you are specifically looking in like a very close mirror and doing just your eyes for example sometimes you forget to make sure that your eyes are balanced with the cheeks and the lips etc so keep looking at yourself from far away and that's a very very important and often overlooked thing that we all do I think I want a little bit more concealer and this time because I already have blush and contour that I don't really want to move I'm gonna take a little bit on the back of my hand and then I'm gonna take a wet beauty blender this one is from type beauty and we're just gonna stipple it in pick up some color and then just I love the angle of this because it gets right into the corner and just tap it in exactly where you need it this is gonna give you a little bit more of a brighter under eye look if you especially use a sponge like this I'm gonna now add a little bit of a smoky eyeliner okay for my kajal I'm gonna be using this guy's all day gel kajal this one is so beautiful it doesn't smudge at all after it dries down but before it dries down I'm gonna take a little bit of it on my brush and I'm gonna blend it all across my lash line this is just gonna add a little bit of a wing or what resembles a wing and then you can just clean it up from here and you'll get a wing if you have a lot of skin essentially that isn't cooperating you can literally just hold it up like this and go straight in once you've blended out your eyeliner you can literally just clean it up with a wet wipe and you will be left with a beautiful crisp wing and whatever's around it just blend it in using your finger you can also take the concealer brush that you used earlier or the sponge and just blend it out so that it looks even and I'm just gonna do this on the other eye okay so that's the kajal done on both eyes you can tight line your waterline upper waterline if you want with this kajal I'm gonna skip it today but feel free to do that it's gonna make your eyelashes look more bold and voluminous if you do as for an expensive kajal that I really really like that's just a beautiful smudgeable kajal again I have a huda beauty one this is the creamy kohl and it is amazing like wow what a formula then we're gonna jump right into mascara if you are using affordable mascaras I have not found a single mascara that gives me that voluminous eyelash look so I highly recommend using a primer this is kiko milano's building base coat mascara it's white in color coat it on your eyelashes let it dry for a bit and then go in with your mascara this is also really critical if you don't like using waterproof mascaras like me and when you do do your mascara make sure to place the wand at the bottom of your eyelashes and then rotate it inwards and then wiggle it out that way it catches every single eyelash do the same thing on the other eye then you're gonna let that dry I do not have an expensive eyelash primer recommendation because I really don't think you need it more affordable option than the kiko milano one is the brash primer from fae beauty okay eyebrows for eyebrows I'm gonna be using bougie products because nothing performs quite like a benefit product when it comes to your eyebrows I've not found a single product in the drugstore category or affordable category that compares so before I get started with drawing on my eyebrows I'm gonna first comb it out then I'm gonna take the very very precise tip of this brow pencil we are gonna start somewhere in the middle like here very very light hand just look where I'm holding the pencil it's like all the way in the middle like the bottom half start with the very very soft lines and then cover any patches you have as for the end just do one line that's it and then you're gonna come to the top section which is here and then draw the line straight out and then once you finish wipe off that's literally all I do we're gonna do the same thing on the other side now you're gonna take the other end of the precisely my brow pencil I'm in the shade five by the way and then you're just gonna comb it through your eyebrows this is going to help blend out the product that you just applied and make it really fluffy I just love this pencil so much I use it literally I use it every single time I do my makeup I don't know what to tell you okay we're gonna use 24-hour brow setter from benefit this is again probably my favorite brow gel in the entire planet nothing compares this gives you the nicest finish ever okay then you're gonna do the other side again I don't have an affordable eyebrow gel recommendation you can get away with using fay beauty brash in the shade dark brown it's one of my favorites but this one the benefit 24-hour brow setter is more like a glue and so nothing compares we're gonna now take fay beauty brush in jet black we're gonna use the shorter side of the wand place it at the bottom of your eyelashes wiggle it in between and roll it outward place wiggle roll place wiggle roll I got my mascara everywhere I think my brush is dried out we're gonna also do the bottom lashes repeat this on the other eye to remove this mascara I'm just gonna use my spoolie that's it gone and that's how the lashes look I love brash so much as for an expensive mascara I highly recommend smashbox superfan again if you've been on my page for a long time you will know this mascara I use it all the time it's one of my favorites and you can use it even without a lash primer and you'll still get this look another even extra bougier mascara recommendation is ysl lash clash I love I just love this one and all of these formulas are non-waterproof formulas because that's just what I like honestly we're almost done the only thing that's left is lips so I'm first removing all of the lip balm that I have on this is color chemistry's kajal in kj02 it is by far the most perfect lip liner color I've come across ever so I'm just gonna start on the outer corner and then do you see how pigmented that was it's amazing once you have your outer line you're gonna go in with lipstick now obviously there are so many different formulas and so many different lipsticks that I could recommend to you we'd be sitting here all day so I'm just gonna use a random lipstick and it doesn't mean that that's the only one that I recommend there are as I said so many you can choose from obviously gonna be using a peachy brown lipstick because that's what my eyes are I have a whole video up on my instagram recommending lipsticks in that shade range today I'm going to be using simply nans liquid lipstick in the shade madhu it's a caramel brown apparently that's looking quite orange no let's go back in with the lip liner it looks stunning actually I changed my mind it looks really nice but you can always dab off the excess and because we're in a glossy era we obviously have to use a gloss let's go in with fabe beauty's gloss gloss in the shade emerging I don't like to touch the tip of my gloss on my lipstick so we're going to squeeze it out onto the back of our hands nice now I feel like my blush has gone away so I'm going to make it a little bit more monochromatic I'm taking the same liquid lipstick back of my hand I'm taking the same brush stipple it in as for expensive lipsticks that I really like I'm going to start with a lip liner just a random recommendation as I said this is not an exhaustive list but I really like the makeup forever artist pencil this is the shade endless cacao it's way more cool toned than this one but it's lovely I really like the chanel rouge a la lac formula especially this shade 63 ultimate is such a beautiful pinky nude and as for a gloss my recommendation is the huda beauty faux filler lip gloss or the dior afterglow lip maximizer in 001 another favorite gloss formula is the bobbi brown crushed lip gloss in the shade force of nature it's amazing you have to try it I want to spray a little bit of setting spray because I look very matte and I like looking dewy because I'm a dry skin girl the grass is always greener I'm gonna use pax dewy hydrating mist possibly my most possibly my most favorite bougie primer water formula is the smashbox primer water it just makes your skin look so dewy and healthy oh my god I love it and I think that's the final look guys I think we're finished I just love how it turned out like even in the viewfinder wow this really truly is such a beginner friendly makeup look so yeah that's the final look I hope you like
