Get Familiarized With Different Cosmetics and Makeup Tools- Part 1

Somewhere in time, all of us new to the world of makeup were completely unaware of which cosmetics go where. Now that we are so used to it we no more have to keep wondering about anything. But what about the current newbies? They too need an introduction to cosmetics, right? Well, this post broken into parts is just for them. In this part 1 version, the introduction will be all about the bases only.  

1. Primer

It is a liquid that you have to apply on your face to prepare it for foundation makeup. Using it will give your face a texture that will not let the foundation melt under heat. Primer is an optional product. You can do your makeup without using it.

2. Liquid foundation

This is used to lighten up the facial skin or hide its imperfections. You must choose a liquid foundation that matches your skin color.

3. Mineral makeup foundation

It works just like liquid foundation and that is, it covers the imperfections you have in your face. However, it is available in powdered form. Currently, it is more famous than the liquid foundation because it is made from earth minerals taken as good for skin.  Again, go for the mineral makeup that is compatible with your skin color.

4. Pressed powder

This comes in tablet form. It is used as a sealer of foundation. In other words, you must use it on your foundation covered face. These days, mineral makeup foundation works exactly like it. So instead of getting a pressed powder you can try using that.

5. Concealer

It looks similar to foundation, but comes in small tube or container. It can be used under the eyes to hide dark circle. Many women also apply it to their facial acne or scars. It must be applied before using the foundation. You have to be extra careful with the color this product. If it is whiter than your foundation your entire makeup filled face will look odd. So you must make sure that it matches your original skin color. A point to note is that traditionally, the concealer is an optional makeup product.  Liquid foundations can also be used in its place.

6. Blush

It is applied on the cheeks to enhance their beauty. It usually comes in red, pink, orange and brown.  Blush is usually applied at the end of the makeup wearing session.

Before even applying any makeup it is always best to clean the entire face with a good cleanser. It is also believed that rinsing the face with mineral water makes the makeup more lasting on it.

3 Makeup Brands Designed for Sensitive Skin

Sensitive skin is incompatible with majority of the makeup products found in the market. It really needs something that is not harsh. Unfortunately, most cosmetics do the opposite. Couple of months ago, we took a look at three mineral makeup foundations which are safe to use because they do not contain some of the worst lab made chemicals. The only problem is that the ingredients found in them might not be suitable for the sensitive skin. In short, they are mild, yet can cause negative reactions. Most experts actually believe that cosmetics with the lowest number of ingredients are best for such a skin. In addition, they must be completely natural. But can you really find cosmetics like that anywhere? Fortunately, yes and today we will have a preview of the brands that produce them. Good news is that their cosmetics are extremely skin friendly and can be used by teenagers also.  So here we go now:

LaurEss Cosmetics

The mission of LaurEss is to provide cosmetics for sensitive skin. That is why, it specializes in using only fewer ingredients in their products and they are actually derived from the nature. Here is a sneak preview of what they offer.An interesting point to note is that LaurEss foundations give a completely natural look. So those who are fond of going for less makeup must try it out.  It is still important to note that this brand does not offer lipsticks.

Brush2Go

When researching on this brand you definitely need to spell its name as Brush2Go instead of brush two go. Otherwise, you are not going to find anything. Now this brand’s makeup products are more technologically advanced. Of course, they contain all natural ingredients, but they are utilized in such a way so that they control oil in the skin and give better coverage.  So far Brush2Go has come up with mineral foundation, blush, bronzer, lip balms of different colors and moisturizer which can also be used as primer.

Larenim Mineral

Lady Kirsten, the owner of Larenim struggled a lot with her own acne and makeup. So in a way, she is just another you and me. Her Larim cosmetics are also designed for sensitive skin and just like LaurEss they contain fewer ingredients extracted right from the earth.  Good news is that the brand also offers mascara and eyeliner and many different skin care products.
