There’s such an endless stream of makeup products out there that choosing the essentials can feel a bit overwhelming. And some makeup products aren’t entirely necessary for everyday looks. Products such as brow shaping tools might be perfect for your weekend glam looks, although hardly any of us have the time to shape and perfect our brows every day before work. So, we’ve listed the bare essentials that you should keep in your everyday makeup bag to create casual everyday looks without much hassle.
The Right Essential Brushes
Even the highest quality foundations and other makeup products won’t look too great if they aren’t applied correctly. And proper applications mean appropriate brushes; you, unfortunately, can’t use one brush for every step of your makeup routine. You’ll need five brushes for your essentials, and these include a foundation brush, a blush brush or kabuki brush, an angled brush, a concealer brush, and an eyeshadow brush.
A Foundation That Matches Perfectly
If you’re a millennial, you already know just how important the right shade of foundation is. Unfortunately, we all went through a time where a thick orange foundation neckline was pretty much all the rage. And we’re all hoping to avoid the classic 2000s makeup mishap. So, be sure to find the perfect shade of foundation that matches your skin tone properly.
Eyeliner And Mascara
Whether you prefer felt-tip eyeliner, gel liner, liquid liner, or pencil liner, eyeliner is essential. The same is true for mascara. However, you must be sure you opt for a clump-free mascara or go over your lashes with a clean mascara brush to remove clumps.
Eyeshadow Palette And Blush
When it comes to picking out the right eyeshadow palette for your essentials bag, it’s best to opt for a relatively neutral colour selection. Brown and beige shades are a great choice as they are perfect for everyday looks. And when choosing your blush, you should go for a natural option. To establish which blush shade would be natural for your skin tone, you should pinch your cheeks to determine the shade left behind.
A Great Shade Of Lipstick
There’s genuinely no dictating which shade of lipstick you should keep in your everyday makeup bag. Some would prefer bold reds; others would prefer neutral tones. So, simply pick a few shades that you find appealing and that match your skin tone well. Not everyone can pull the same shade of red, although there is a perfect shade of red for every skin tone. Finding the right ones might take some trial and error, although you can also use lipstick charts to determine the best shades for your skin tone with a lot more ease.
Once you have your essentials, you can decide if you want to add to your makeup routine by adding more products to your bag. Products such as brow fillers are a great option, while makeup setting sprays are also a great choice. However, you must always be sure to keep your everyday look natural and straightforward.
