We list the 7 essential beauty must-haves in your
make-up kit, and why you need them.
Make-up is every
woman’s best friend (after diamonds, of course). It gives your face definition
and mutes your imperfections.
If you apply
make-up every day, you must already have a fully stocked make-up bag. But if
you’re thinking of having one, these are the 7 essential beauty products you should put in it:
Cleanser. This is a surprising addition – or so most women feel – but a cleanser
also serves the purpose of removing make-up. Not only does it keep the skin
clear of dead cells, dirt and oil, it also removes make-up after you get home.
You can use cleanser to correct make-up applied wrongly – just a quick swipe
with a cotton bud will do.
Hydrating serum. Once your skin is cleaned, and before you
apply concealer and foundation, lightly tap hydrating serum into the skin. The
serum is quickly absorbed and it penetrates deep into the tissues to promote
hydration, aid cellular repair and also remove dead skin cells. The skin
becomes more radiant and elastic, and is able to stave off signs of ageing much
better. Remember, make-up cannot adequately hide acne, so it is better to have
good skin instead of relying entirely on makeup to do the job.
Concealer. This is the most important beauty product in your make-up kit.
It is designed to conceal all the flaws in the skin – bumps and depressions,
acne scars, uneven skin tone, and other factors that mar your complexion. Apply
it on the problem areas and wait for a couple of minutes for the product to
settle.
Foundation. After the concealer, apply foundation. The
foundation should exactly match your skin tone – too light, and it will look
clownish, too dark and it will look dull. Many women suffer from acne breakouts
after using foundation. Oil-based foundation causes the problem of clogged
pores and acne. Instead, use a powder foundation that is easier to remove, and
which sits on the skin lightly. Or you can look for a light water-based
foundation.
Lip gloss. This one’s an essential beauty product for every woman. Lip
gloss keeps your lips from chapping. The skin on the lips is very thin, so it
gets dry and breaks quite easily. You can use a tinted lip gloss or lip balm over
your lipstick. Make sure to replenish the gloss every time you feel that your
lips have gone dry.
Liquid eyeliner. Eyeliner accentuates your lovely eyes and
makes them immediately noticeable. Though most women use pencil kohl because it
is more convenient, it is better to use liquid eyeliner. Liquid eyeliner is
easy to remove and also easy to apply, once you get used to it. The best
eyeliners comprise Vitamin E, which make the lashes longer and thicker.
Mascara. This is another essential beauty product – have you ever tried
applying mascara without eyeliner? Longer, darker lashes that frame your eyes
make them look stunning. They also give your eyes a fresh look. But be sure to
remove mascara carefully at the end of the day, or it will clot and the
particles will enter your eyes.
