What are the basics of makeup?
The basic steps in a makeup routine involve moisturising the skin. Applying sunscreen and primer comes next. You can use a foundation or a skin tint to even out the skin, a concealer or color corrector to hide imperfections, and a highlighter or bronzer to define the shape of your face. Lip and eye makeup come next, with lipstick, eyeshadow, eyeliner, and mascara being applied one by one. Lastly, use a setting spray to ensure the makeup stays for a long time.
How can I choose my makeup?
While choosing makeup products for yourself, it is important to know your skin tone and undertone. Your skin tone is the natural color of your skin, which may change due to tanning, while the undertone of your skin remains constant. It is the natural color that is under your skin; the colors of your veins can easily determine this.
What are the types of Makeup?
The cosmetic industry is witnessing many new trends in makeup, with women embracing different techniques and makeup tutorials. The different types of makeup include:
Nude Makeup or No-Makeup Makeup
Nude makeup is a minimal makeup look that enhances the natural features of your face. This type of makeup is aimed at creating a fresh, flawless face, giving the illusion that you are not wearing makeup at all. It is versatile and can be used for everyday work, interviews, or casual outings. To create a minimal makeup look, use lightweight foundation and concealers and neutral shades for emphasizing your features, and a sheer lip gloss for the lips.
Natural makeup
The natural makeup look is another way you can emphasize the best features of your face without doing heavy makeup. It is perfect for casual outings and day parties. To create a fresh-faced, natural makeup look, you should go with a skin tint moisturiser or a light foundation. Focus on adding definition to your eyes by using an eyebrow pencil and applying Kohl on your waterline. For the lips, you can opt for sheer lip tints.
Dewy Makeup
Dewy makeup creates a fresh, radiant, and youthful look. It is also called the glow makeup look, it gives a hydrated and fresh face that glows from within. To create this look, use a dewy hydrating moisturiser as the base with a dewy primer and a serum foundation. For that natural flush of color for the cheeks, use a cream or liquid blush, which gives a healthy glow.
Matte Makeup
The matte makeup as the name itself suggests, creates an oil-free and shine-free makeup look. Using matte makeup products like mattifying foundation and compact reduces the appearance of oil and shine on the face. The matte makeup look is generally preferred by oily skin types. Using a matte lipstick brings this whole look together. It is a versatile makeup look and can be used for both subtle and bold looks, making it perfect for any occasion.
HD Makeup
HD makeup or high definition makeup creates a flawless, camera-ready complexion which is suitable for professional photography such as films and television. The skin appears smooth and blemish-free even under high-resolution cameras and close-up photography. This makeup look uses formulations which don’t melt even while coming in contact with high levels of heat and lights, making them suitable for the entertainment industry and bridal makeup looks.
Airbrush Makeup
Airbrush Makeup is a unique makeup technique which creates a very lightweight and flawless look with a professional finish. This makeup look requires an airbrush gun which sprays a mist of makeup on the skin. It. Its professional finish is preferred by many for special occasions like weddings, photoshoots, television etc. This makeup is a very long-lasting makeup that is gaining popularity for bridal makeup too.
Bridal Makeup
Bridal makeup is a very special makeup as this is the most important event of any girl’s life. The bridal makeup look uses long-lasting makeup products that are lightweight, smudge-proof, and waterproof. There are different makeup looks which are famous in India, especially the traditional Indian bridal makeup look. Another makeup that is gaining popularity is the minimal makeup look or pastel makeup look for brides, which enhances the natural beauty without making the bride unrecognisable.
What is the Correct Order of Applying Makeup Products?
If you are a makeup beginner, you must be overwhelmed by the countless makeup products out there. But do not worry! This is a simple guide that will help you use your makeup products effectively for a flawless look. Here’s the correct order in which you should apply the makeup products:
Primer
The first step for a flawless makeup look is to prep the skin by applying a moisturiser and sunscreen. This hydrates the skin and allows the makeup to layer on perfectly. Apply a primer next, to smooth out the skin, fill in fine lines and pores to ensure a good base for your makeup and promote its longevity.
Color Corrector / Concealer
If you have redness or blemishes on your face, then you need a colour corrector that works on the color theory to help you with your skin concerns. Using the color green corrects redness, peach/orange color corrects blue, and lavender color corrects the yellowness on the face. A concealer hides the dark circles and blemishes that you have on your face, giving you an even skin tone.
Foundation
The foundation is where most of the magic lies; it creates the perfect foundation for your other makeup products to layer on. The most important aspect here is to find a shade that matches your skin. Swatch (try out by swiping) the foundation against your jawline for the perfect foundation shade match.
Powder/ Contour
The next step is to use a compact powder, this is the best makeup product for you if you have oily skin. It helps control oil and does not make your makeup look cakey. Contouring comes next to define your facial features by creating a shadowing effect to sculpt the face. You can also go for a bronzer for a sun-kissed warm look.
Blush / Highlighter
For adding a pop of color to the cheeks, the blush goes on next. It creates a natural flushed look. You can also use a highlighter next to get that natural glow that makes your face light up. This step makes a lot of difference in the kind of makeup look you end up with.
Eyeshadow, Eyeliner, Mascara
While doing the eye makeup, it’s important to begin with an eye primer and move onto the eyeshadow next to create a mesmerising eye look. To complete this look, draw a wing with a felt-tip eyeliner and use the mascara at the end, as it can interfere with the eyeliner application if used first.
Eyebrow Pencil
Defining the eyebrows is as important as any other step of the makeup. Well-sculpted eyebrows help you to bring your whole look together. Instead of using a black eyebrow pencil, it is best to go with a natural brown color that blends seamlessly with your natural brows.
Lips
After the face makeup and eye makeup are done, go in for the lip makeup. Lip makeup comes last as it brings the whole makeup look together, much like the mascara does for the eyes. You can opt for a tinted lip balm or go all the way with liner, lipstick, and gloss.
Setting Spray / Fixing Spray
You can go for both of them or go with either or none of them. A fixing spray helps with the longevity of the makeup, allowing the makeup to stay all day. It helps protect the makeup from smudging, fading, or melting in hot and humid weather. It is typically applied at the end of the makeup steps. Whereas a setting spray is meant to hydrate the face and make the makeup look dewy, it can be applied, either at the beginning, or during the makeup, to prevent it from looking cakey, or at the end of the makeup.

Setting Spray / Fixing Spray
You can go for both of them or go with either or none of them. A fixing spray helps with the longevity of the makeup, allowing the makeup to stay all day. It helps protect the makeup from smudging, fading, or melting in hot and humid weather. It is typically applied at the end of the makeup steps. Whereas a setting spray is meant to hydrate the face and make the makeup look dewy, it can be applied, either at the beginning, or during the makeup, to prevent it from looking cakey, or at the end of the makeup.
