If you love all things beauty, you probably want to learn as much as you possibly can. This post aims to do just that! Of course I couldn't include every little thing there is to know, so I thought I'd just include 13 of the most important. Every beauty enthusiast needs to know the following 13 things:
Experimenting in beauty is essential. Something your best friend does may not work the same way for you. You need to know what works for you, so you're going to need to be prepared to play around with different products, tools, and colors.
It's OK to invest in some beauty products. You shouldn't feel guilty for spending a little more on a good lipstick or eyeshadow; they last a long time in the palette and on the skin, and you can tell the difference most of the time.
Beauty shouldn't be about masking your natural features. You don't want to hide your skin color or completely change the shape of your face. You simply want to enhance it. Beauty is all about showing people how naturally beautiful you can look, not how you can make yourself look like a different person.
If you like a lipstick color, eyeshadow color, or something else, you should wear it. Don't worry about what anybody else says. Beauty is subjective. One person might love it, another might hate it. This is why the only person who's opinion really matters is you!
Hairspray your face after makeup application to keep it in place for much longer. Just be sure you hold your breath - breathing in hairspray is never pleasant! You can also find setting sprays for makeup, although these are more expensive - especially if you are going to use it only once for a special occasion.
Contouring is a must. It's only just gained mainstream popularity, although it's been around for quite sometime. Don't worry though; you don't need to spend ages doing it and use lots of different products to get the look. All you need is a nice highlighter and a bit of bronzer. You can then go about bronzing areas such as the deeper part of the cheekbone and forehead, and highlighting the higher part of the cheekbone and nose. This will give you a more '3D' makeup look, and enhance you in all of the right places.
Now you know these 13 things about beauty, you can go and perfect your own beauty routine. Knowing your skin type will allow you to pick the perfect products for you, and investing in the right products will help you enhance your beauty. Ideally, you don't want anybody to know how much makeup you're wearing, so be smart. Use these tips and you'll go far. Remember, practice makes perfect!
