Primer

This product is an essential part of your makeup routine. It was 10 years ago when they first made their way onto the beauty industry…and now, a lot of women couldn’t live without them! A primer is a game-changing product and aspect of your makeup routine. According to the popular Aussie makeup artist and beauty guru, Napoleon Perdis, “not to prime is a crime”. And it is, legitimately speaking in the beauty world. It helps provide the perfect base for your makeup so it sets properly and last for a few hours longer. It also makes it easier to apply foundation so there are no visible fine lines and the skin tone looks even throughout.

Brow Mascara

To get the full effect, you should a mascara in the shade that is closest to your natural brow hair colour. Apply it from the root and gently brush across the top in a back and forth motion.

A crucial component to perfecting your eye makeup look is an eyelash curler. Therefore, it is one product that should be in your beauty bag. If you are not keen on using eyelash extensions, you must find a suitable mascara that will add more length and thickness to your eye lashes. Once you have your eye lash curler, take time to learn about how to curl your lashes like a pro.

Cheek and Lip Product

These two makeup products go hand-in-hand. Your cheek colour should complement your lip colour and vice versa. Therefore, you should have this combo product ready in your beauty bag for when you want to do a quick touchup on your makeup. As we’ve previously mentioned in our rules for acing your day time makeup, your goal with using a cheek product is to give your skin the right amount of flush. Don’t try to over-do it. The sames goes with your lipstick.

Skin Moisturiser

No matter how good you think your makeup is, nothing will beat having beautifully moisturised skin. Thus, always carry a skin moisturiser in your beauty bag, especially in the summer. The heat and air can cause your skin to dry up easily, especially when you are also wearing several layers of makeup. You want to moisturise your skin to keep it looking supple. If you can find one that has SPF too, the better!
