Makeup Starter Pack

Before the falsies and smokey eyes, you need to know how accomplish an undetectable base makeup.

My makeup philosophy:

Don’t Follow The Rules

• Think of a product’s intended use a suggestion. revisit and remix your cultures’ beauty traditions, and take the tips I give you as a guide, but have the freedom to make it your own

Treat Makeup like painting

• Think of your face as a canvas and your makeup as paints that you are blending. Take it to the next level by mixing different blushes.

Sometimes More is More

• Try new things, makeup will will wash off at the end of the night. Live a little.

The Undetectable Base:

Pre-Makeup

1. Always wash your face and moisturize before applying makeup

2. Apply extra moisturizer or eye cream under eyes to help with concealer application

3. Once the moisturizer absorb into your skin, apply a makeup primer

4. Drink water throughout. I hate to say it, but it’s true

Makeup Routine:

1. Always start with your brows

   It makes your face look more complete which makes you less likely to over apply face makeup.

2. Then Spot conceal

   Apply concealer to any spots or marks first, then diffuse the edges to blend it into skin.

3. After that do your eye concealer

   To prevent ceasing, avoid getting too close to the lash line. Also, eye bags are sexy

4. Go in with foundation

   Since you spot concealed first, you only need to apply enough to blend everything together and make the look cohesive

5. And dust everything with blush and bronzer

   The face naturally has color to it, and the goal of blush and bronzer is to bring some of that color to the face

Some Bonus Notes:

1. On Brushes

   • Expensive brushes aren’t all that

   • If the brush itches, it will irritate your skin

   • Clean your brushes AT LEAST once a week

2. On Makeup Sponges

   • The original pink and black beauty blender work better than the other colors.

   • Soak your beauty blender in water, squeeze out the excess water, than squeeze it out again in a paper towel or clean towel

3. Go Mini

   • I’m a huge fan of buying the mini version of a product

   • It gives you the opportunity to try something out and exploring different shades

4. Toss it

   • Make sure to toss out any expired makeup

   • Declutters products you haven’t used in a long time to downsize or make room for something new
