You want to wear makeup, but you’re not sure which products to choose? And, of course, you want to avoid making makeup mistakes? We hear you! That’s why we’re giving you a few tips to get you started.

Here is what we think should be in your first makeup kit:

• Tinted moisturizer
• Liquid concealer
• Pink Blush
• Blush brush
• Bronzing powder
• Eyebrow pencil with built-in brush
• Eye shadow pencil
• White eye shadow
• Light gloss, and
• Brown-black lengthening mascara

With these products you’ll be able to do your makeup in minutes and get a look that suits your age and style. Here’s what to do…

1) Complexion

To start, apply tinted moisturizer to your entire face. You can also use an unscented BB cream that’s non-comedogenic.

BB cream is great to correct, enhance and even out the complexion.

2) Imperfections

Choose a liquid concealer that matches your skin tone. Gently dab small dots of the product to the under-eye area.

Blend with your fingers using a light tapping motion.  

Be very gentle: the under-eye area is fragile.

You can also use concealer to mask blemishes.

3) Cheeks

With the brush, take a bit of powdered blush and apply it to cheekbones.

Don’t use too much or you’ll end up looking slightly clown-like.

You can also apply bronzing powder to the parts of your face that naturally attract light: your forehead, nose, chin and cheeks. This will give you a sun-kissed glow.

4) Eyes

Now, apply eyebrow pencil and blend in the colour using the brush.

Take the eye shadow pencil and run it over your eyelid.

To brighten your eyes, apply a touch of white eye shadow to the inner corner of your eye.

Add a bit of lengthening mascara and your eye makeup is complete.

5) Lips

Finish off your makeup routine with a bit of gloss.

And that’s it. Now you’re glowing and ready for school!

Have a great day!
