AN INTRODUCTION TO MAKEUP: TYPES OF MAKEUP BY BEAUTIE VITE MAKEOVERS

Makeup is defined as cosmetics used on the face, such as lipstick or powder, to improve or change appearance.
This post is for you if you don’t know anything about cosmetics or if you’re learning about it and need a recap of the fundamentals.

Think of this as your comprehensive guide to makeup and the world of different beauty items.
Each sort of makeup is listed here, along with a brief explanation of what it is and how to use it. There are more than 20 different types of makeup in all, and we go into great length on each one before discussing the sequence of applying makeup at the very bottom.

First item: moisturizer
Although this isn’t exactly a cosmetic, it is an essential component of any makeup process, so we’re going to list it first since it’s one of the first things you should do in the morning after washing your face.
Any composition that keeps skin hydrated while protecting it is a moisturizer. It may prevent wrinkles from forming, preserve moisture and oils in your skin to make existing wrinkles less obvious, and act as a solid basis for your makeup (more on that in a moment). It’s kind of like the super-hero of your makeup collection. Your epidermis, or top layer of skin, develops a protective barrier as a result, keeping moisture and oils inside.
Basically, there are two sorts of moisturizers: the kind you use before applying makeup and the kind you use at night before bed (although, really, there are a TON of other skincare products you can use before bed, for now, we’ll keep it simple).

When it comes to selecting a moisturizer, you have about 4,000 alternatives, just as with everything else in the world of makeup. You should pick a moisturizer based on any skin problems you may have; cosmetics manufacturers provide solutions for dry skin, oily skin, sensitive skin, and aging skin. There are organic and non-comedogenic options. They also provide moisturizer that contains sunscreen, which will shield you from the sun’s harmful UV rays if you apply it in the morning as recommended.  AN INTRODUCTION TO MAKEUP: TYPES OF MAKEUP BY BEAUTIE VITE MAKEOVERS

Remember when we claimed that moisturizer serves as a trustworthy base for makeup earlier? One of its most crucial features is that. Moisturizing keeps your face in place, much like a good foundation does. No matter how costly your makeup is, it won’t sit properly on your face if your skin hasn’t been prepped for wearing it. The majority of professional makeup artists, according to Allure, spend as much time washing and hydrating the skin of their models as they do *applying makeup. That exemplifies how crucial it is to properly moisturize.

 

Second item: primer

Primer is the following in our introduction to makeup.
There are a few other types of primer, including mascara, eyelid, and lip primer, but in this case, we’re talking about foundation primer. When most people use the term “primer,” they mean exactly that.
Primer is another protagonist in the great drama that is makeup; it is applied AFTER moisturizer but BEFORE foundation (thus why it’s occasionally referred to as a “foundation primer”). It serves two key functions: giving your cosmetics a smooth surface to rest on and greatly extending the wear time of your makeup.
However, primer can accomplish a lot more, which is why it’s a popular beauty item for many individuals. Pores may be sealed by it. Regardless of how big or little your pores are, foundation makeup hides them.
• Eliminates fine lines. It gives your skin a flat, smooth appearance by filling up any gaps in your epidermis.
• Assist with pigmentation problems. Some foundations contain skin-care chemicals that can gradually lighten dark spots.
• Diminish redness and conceal acne. The quantity of pigment found in foundations varies widely, and some can be used to conceal rosacea and pimples. Others contain salicylic acid, the miraculous substance that treats acne and pimples by absorbing germs and oil.   AN INTRODUCTION TO MAKEUP: TYPES OF MAKEUP BY BEAUTIE VITE MAKEOVERS

 

 

 

• Protects the face. You are always being bombarded by dust and dirt, and foundation protects your skin from any unwelcome objects that may be drifting your way.
• Preserve your good looks in adverse weather. When you use primer, your makeup stays in the same place you put it on—regardless of whether you live in a hot, humid or cold, dry environment.
Although it would seem that something that accomplishes all of this would be heavy and oppressive-feeling, primers are frequently lightweight and extremely simple to use.   AN INTRODUCTION TO MAKEUP: TYPES OF MAKEUP BY BEAUTIE VITE MAKEOVERS

So how does it accomplish all of that? There is a lot of chemistry at play, but in general, primer is created with a firmer-than-normal consistency that fills in the fine fissures on the surface of your skin and giving you a satin-like smooth appearance while also preventing sweat from penetrating your pores and ruining your makeup.
Although cream-based primers are the most popular, gel and powder versions are also available for purchase. Water-based primers and silicon-based primers are two further categories into which they can be subdivided. The silicon-based primers are more effective at giving the appearance of smooth skin, but some people may react negatively to them, so those with skin problems should opt for a water-based foundation. There are many sorts of primers, including coloured primers, non comedogenic primers, and mattifying primers, but they are the two most common types.

Find a primer that works for your particular skin type if you’re seeking for one. There are only two types of primers: one for normal to dry skin and the other for oily skin, to keep things straightforward.
(One quick side note: We previously addressed mascara primers, eyelid primers, and lip primers. These provide the same function as a foundation primer by priming the lips, eyelids, and eyelashes and extending the wear time of makeup. These primers will be covered in the sections below.)  AN INTRODUCTION TO MAKEUP: TYPES OF MAKEUP BY BEAUTIE VITE MAKEOVERS

Third item: Foundation
A flesh-colored cosmetic product called foundation, sometimes known as “base,” is used to conceal imperfections and blemishes but, more significantly, to give the wearer’s face a single, consistent skin tone. The misconception that foundation is exclusively for persons with some skin discolouration is widespread, yet foundation is actually an essential part of every cosmetic process.

 

You might be telling Makeup Artist Essentials.com to slow down. “That seems like a ton of work. I should apply a moisturizer, a primer, and then another primer before I ever apply any additional makeup, right?”

 

You’ve been paying attention, that’s for sure! Well done.

 

 

Second of all, you’re right—true, that’s and here’s why those three goods are so crucial: they essentially complement one another and pack a one-two-three punch. You can avoid daily makeup damage to your face by using moisturizer. Any craters and wrinkles on the face are covered by the primer, which also makes the foundation adhere to it. Last but not least, the foundation offers a firm foundation that prevents your makeup from slipping off your face and onto the floor. You are prepared to make oneself genuinely stunning with these three goods.

 

Therefore, how do you select a foundation? Although powder foundations seem to be becoming less and less popular, they are available as liquids, creams, or powders. The majority of the time, if not always, you want to choose a shade that closely resembles your natural skin tone because it can be extremely embarrassing if the foundation on your face doesn’t match the color of your neck’s skin. You’ll need to pick a shade that suits you because color names vary considerably between brands (and that goes for, like, every type of cosmetics ever manufactured). Remember that a foundation’s hue may appear considerably differently in the container than it does on your skin. You’ll need to try out a few different items, as is the case with the majority of cosmetics-related stuff, until you find one you enjoy. Choosing a foundation and discovering that it is PERFECT for you is an uncommon occurrence. That’s not truly how makeup functions; frequently, it involves an elimination procedure. Until you find a product you enjoy, you test a lot of different ones.

 

 

One of the most important things to consider is “coverage.” A foundation with a lighter coverage will be translucent (you can see through it), while one with a medium or full coverage will be opaque (meaning that you CANNOT see through it).
This is how it pans out:
• Sheer foundation is nearly translucent and has very little pigment (or in some cases, totally transparent). It can balance out the skin tone across the different parts of the face, yet it doesn’t cover imperfections or discolorations. About 7% to 12% of the pigment in sheer foundation is pigment.
• Light foundation is slightly darker and has between 13% and 17% pigment. Between “sheer” and “light,” there isn’t much of a difference—blemishes, freckles, scars, etc. are still visible.
• Medium coverage is significantly heavier and can conceal redness, freckles, some blemishes, and some scars. It typically contains between 18 and 24% pigment.
• Full coverage can conceal most things you want to hide and ranges in pigmentation from 25% to 50%, making it very thick. Full coverage foundation obviously requires caution because it must match your skin tone or it will appear patchy and weird.

 

 

 

You must use the foundation you’ve chosen after making your decision. You can use brushes, sponges, or your fingers, depending on the type you select (liquid, cream, or powder). While some people only use their hands, others adore sponges and swear by brushes. There is much discussion regarding the best application technique, but no matter what method you choose, you want to avoid streaks (using your fingers causes this problem), avoid rubbing bacteria onto your face (which can happen if you don’t replace your sponges frequently enough), and avoid irritating your skin (which can be an issue with some brushes).

 

 

 

 

There are a variety of options available, and you may discover non comedogenic foundations, organic sorts, cruelty-free/vegan variants, and more, just like with other beauty products. AN INTRODUCTION TO MAKEUP: TYPES OF MAKEUP BY BEAUTIE VITE MAKEOVERS

 

 

 

Product No. 4.1: Color Correcting Cream (CC Cream)
This one is simple: a CC cream provides all the same benefits as a BB cream but additionally contains ingredients that help with color correction. CC cream may be right for you if you experience any skin problems with color or tone, such as redness, sallowness, black patches, or discoloration. A CC cream is offered by the majority of cosmetics brands, and costs range from “inexpensive” to “woah, extremely expensive.”

 

 

Fifth item: Setting Powder

Powder is a topic that causes a lot of uncertainty. What does the word “powder” actually mean? What are setting powder, loose powder, pressed powder, and finishing powder, and why are they important?
When people talk about powder, they typically mean setting powder, which is a cosmetic that is applied over foundation. It’s a matte-finish product that makes a fantastic base for applying blush, bronzer, and other finishing touches. It could be transparent or have a tone that complements your skin.
There are two types of setting powder: pressed powder, which is easy to apply but DOES travel well, so you bring it with you when you’re out, and loose powder, which is simple to use but doesn’t travel well.
We’ve developed a separate piece regarding finishing powders and HD powders because they aren’t used as frequently and there is a lot of disagreement over when and why to use them.

 

 

 

Sixth item: concealer
Concealer is the next component in our introduction to makeup.
Everyone DESIRES flawless skin, but let’s face it: very few people actually DO. And for those who DO appear to have flawless skin, they frequently merely have excellent concealer skills.

 

 

 

Although we haven’t conducted any formal research, we’re ready to wager that if we asked 1,000 beauty artists and another 1,000 daily makeup users to pick their favorite makeup product, they would all likely respond “concealer.” It makes you look and feel flawless while concealing all of your face defects. Think of it as the makeup equivalent of your best buddy. It conceals anything you don’t want the public to see, including rosacea, broken blood vessels, dark circles, scars, and acne. We are not kidding when we say that it is the coolest thing ever. We’re exaggerating a little, okay. However, concealer has a lot of power.

 

 

So what precisely is it? It is a thick makeup that offers spot coverage for skin flaws and blemishes. It is thicker than foundation. As we’ll describe in a moment, it is highly pigmented, but it also comes in a variety of hues to match any skin tone. It is also typically made to be quite long-lasting so that your skin blemishes don’t decide to show themselves in the middle of the day. There are numerous varieties available, including:
• Concealer liquid. Liquid concealers exist in a variety of coverage levels, from light to full coverage, and this type is perhaps the most popular. Use it if your skin is normal, combination, oily, acne-prone, or sensitive. This is a fantastic alternative if you have acne because it won’t likely result in more breakouts (whereas a creamier concealer might do so). There are options for matte, satin, dewy, and shimmer finishes, and you may apply with your fingertips, a wand, or a sponge.

 

 

• Concealer in cream. Suitable for combination skin, dry skin, and normal skin. Because it typically offers a wider coverage than liquid concealer, cream concealer works particularly well for dark rings under the eyes. It typically comes in a tiny pot or palette. Good for delicate skin too, but bad for skin that tends to break out in pimples.
• Concealer in cream-to-powder. This concealer is less well-known than the others because it provides only light to moderate coverage and is not recommended for those who are prone to acne of any kind. It may be a suitable option if you have normal to dry skin and need light to moderate coverage.
• Stick Cover-Up. This is your best option if you have normal to dry skin and want medium-to-dark coverage. It’s a creamy semi-solid that works wonders for extremely dark undereye circles and more severe discolouration. It looks a bit like lipstick. If you have acne, use this with caution. Stick concealer is popular among acne sufferers since it can pretty much cover everything, but applying it can be harmful because the thick consistency of the cosmetic can clog pores and lead to more breakouts.   AN INTRODUCTION TO MAKEUP: TYPES OF MAKEUP BY BEAUTIE VITE MAKEOVERS

 

 

 

(Remember that you may occasionally require more than one kind of concealer. For example, if you have dry, black circles beneath your eyes, you should apply a creamy concealer with a moisturizer, but if you also have a pimple on your cheek, that creamy concealer with moisturizer can prolong the life of that blemish. People frequently employ various concealers on various parts of their faces.)

 

 

 

You should purchase the proper tone of concealer once you’ve found one that works for your skin type. Many makeup professionals advise choosing a concealer shade that is one shade lighter than your foundation; however, you should be careful not to go too light because you still want to ensure that your skin tone is consistent all over your face.

 

 

 

7th item: Contour
In the past, makeup professionals would only employ contouring as a sort of “secret technique” on runway models. However, the information is now public thanks to the internet and the millions of instructional videos on YouTube.
This is how it goes: A contour is a powder, liquid, or pencil that is often matte in finish and is (ideally) one shade darker than the skin (in other words, not shiny; flat). It is used to define the facial structure and give the appearance of shadows and depth on different parts of the face, usually along the nose, at the top of the forehead, by the jawline, and at the cheekbones. A more “angular” appearance can be achieved with the skillful use of contouring, which results in high cheekbones and a smaller nose and chin. Let’s be honest, the “angular” appearance has been popular for the majority of recorded history, making contouring a very common procedure.
(Short note: A highlighter, which intensifies the light that reaches your face and deepens the shadows you’ve drawn with a contour, is the perfect compliment to a contour. Highlighters are covered in the section after this one.)
There are a few considerations you should make while picking a contour:

 

 

• Buy a matte-finish item. Contours aren’t meant to be shimmering; they’re meant to add depth, and any shine would negate that purpose. Since most contours are matted in any case, finding a matte contour shouldn’t be that challenging.
• Choose the proper color. Your ideal contour makeup should be one shade darker than your natural skin tone. Any darker than that will make your contour look extremely strange. Many women who are new to cosmetics mistakenly believe that a darker contour will produce more effective contouring. At all. Too dark of a contour will give you a wild appearance.  AN INTRODUCTION TO MAKEUP: TYPES OF MAKEUP BY BEAUTIE VITE MAKEOVERS

 

 

• Obtain the required equipment and use it correctly. Use your fingers if you’re applying a lotion. The substance will be heated by your hands so that it will precisely adhere to and blend into your skin. There are many brushes that are effective while applying powder. Make sure you apply thoroughly because it’s all about blending—we’ve addressed this before, so you presumably know what’s coming. You must ensure that the contour perfectly complements your skin.

 

• Alternatives are readily available. A concealer with the proper hue can also work well as a substitute for a contour, as can a foundation with a deeper undertone. Additionally, a bronzer is frequently used in place of a contour. Our recommendation is to use caution while applying bronzer, or to avoid using it altogether when contouring. This is why: Bronzers are not designed to replicate skin tones; contours are. The tendency of bronzers is to, well, bronze you! It is exceedingly challenging to get the desired look because they contain reds and/or oranges.

 

 

BUT! There is another, more significant reason: you don’t want shimmery contours or bronzers, which typically have a matte finish. There shouldn’t be any shimmer in it if you’re trying to fake a shadow. You desire a matte finish. Therefore, wherever feasible, use proper contouring products. If you must use bronzer, make sure it has a matte finish.

 

 

• The contour of the face matters. Every facial shape will require a distinct approach to contouring, which is more of an art than a science.

8th item: Highlight
Like contour’s sister, highlighter draws a lot more attention because she is a touch more vivacious, brilliant, and dazzling.

 

Men and women who are new to makeup sometimes struggle to grasp the appeal of a highlighter: if you’ve just made yourself seem angular and sleek, why would you want to change it?
When used properly, highlighter is a cosmetic that draws light and gives off a warm, glowing appearance. Using only contour will give you an angular appearance, but it will give you a matted appearance that can be a touch flat.
You can buy a TON of various highlighters, and they come in liquid, cream, and powder forms. Some highlighters have shimmer, while others don’t (we’d advise against using shimmer because it defeats the purpose of a highlighter, which is to make you glow and seem awake).

 

 

 

Therefore, how do you pick a highlighter? You’re looking for something that is just little shiny and close to the color of your skin. Consider your skin tone before choosing a hue. Skin tones are often categorized as follows: • Pale to fair skin • Fair to medium • Medium to dark and • Dark to deep.
A pearl shade can look amazing on someone with pale to fair skin; people with medium to dark skin typically choose a warmer, golden tone. You shouldn’t use too much highlighter, as you never want to look like a neon sign when wearing makeup. AN INTRODUCTION TO MAKEUP: TYPES OF MAKEUP BY BEAUTIE VITE MAKEOVERS

 

There are many clever applications for highlighters, including: You may add it over blush on your cheeks to make yourself look a little more lively, add it to the inner corner of your eye when you’re tired to make yourself look awake, and apply it beneath the brow bone to make your eyes look a little lighter. AN INTRODUCTION TO MAKEUP: TYPES OF MAKEUP BY BEAUTIE VITE MAKEOVERS

 

 

 

9th item: bronzer
A bronzer is a cosmetic that you can “use every day” to add a little color and glow to your skin. It gives the cheekbones a tiny bit of highlight and gives the wearer a youthful, healthy appearance. Bronzer can have a good effect and give you a pleasant sun-kissed look if you’re feeling a little lifeless or drab.

 

 

 

It’s not too difficult to choose a bronzer; essentially, you want anything one to two shades darker than your natural skin tone. Try to choose a light honey-colored bronzer if you have fair to average complexion. Choose something rose- or gold-colored if you have medium skin. Find something amber if you have a dark skin tone. Always try new things to find what works. Because this frequently occurs, ask your pals if the bronzer you’re using is too potent. Also keep in mind that your skin tone varies with the seasons, so if it’s winter and you’re pale, consider that; if it’s summer and you’re starting to get a little bronzed, consider that as well.

 

 

It’s crucial to have the right tools, and you should pick the right brush. As opposed to particularly dense brushes (like Kabuki brushes), which tend to pack a powerful punch and may cause you to use more makeup than necessary, you want to go for something soft and broad. Stippling brushes are useful for this since they control how much makeup you apply to your face by having stacked bristles. (Stippling brushes, by the way, are kind of miraculous—the bristles at the tip are tiny, while the bristles at the bottom of the brush are thick, making it difficult to overapply makeup.)
When applying bronzer, you’ll hear a lot of makeup artists refer to a “3” shape. That might be a little unclear. You should start your brush at your forehead, sweep back over your temple, forward at your cheekbone, back over your cheekbone, and down your jawline in order to highlight the areas of the face that the sun would typically hit—your forehead, your cheekbones, and your jaw. Your face actually forms a large “three” shape as a result of the action. Here is a picture that demonstrates the method.

 

 

You should exercise caution while applying bronzer because the improper shade or excessive application may give you a weird orange glow or just make you appear to have dirt on your face. Not the desired outcome. Blend, blend, blend, as usual. Due to the strong color tone of bronzer, you must ensure that it fully and gradually disappears into the various locations where you’ve applied it. Look out for streaks.

 

 

Then what? Many people mistakenly think that bronzer is the same thing as contour, but we clarified that in the “Contour” section.

 

10th item: blush
Blush is frequently people’s all-time favorite cosmetic product. It is straightforward, simple to use, and colorful. The audience loves it.
There are many blush colors to choose from, and they come in liquid, cream, or powder forms.
That’s only sort of true, I suppose. Recall how we previously explained how to obtain blush in a liquid, crème, or powder form? The majority of individuals utilize powder. It’s simply kind of the way things are, and it makes sense: if blush is one of the final cosmetics you use after applying foundation, concealer, and other liquid or cream products, you’ll want to use a powder rather than add more liquids or creams. You’ll need a nice brush because you’ll be applying powder, so let’s start there. (OK, we were wrong; many women use both liquid and cream blush. Soon, we’ll publish a post about it.  AN INTRODUCTION TO MAKEUP: TYPES OF MAKEUP BY BEAUTIE VITE MAKEOVERS

 

 

Blushes typically come with a brush, but those brushes are typically lackluster, so we advise obtaining your own. Purchase something that is around the width of your cheeks when you grin, relatively soft, and neither too flat nor overly round. The ideal brush will resemble one of those pencil gnomes you used to receive as a child.
Once you’ve purchased a wonderful, wonderful brush, you should use it in one of two places:
In the area of the cheekbones (but NOT below the cheekbones, as that can actually make you look kind of jowly), or
On your cheeks’ “apples,” specifically. To find your apples, look in the mirror and grin broadly at yourself. Then, there they are: your cheek apples!

 

 

 

Blend, blend, blend, as usual. Make sure you don’t develop a perfect circle of blush on each cheek because that always looks odd.

 

 

 

The colors you should pick depend entirely on the hue of your skin. Here is what we typically advise:
• Fair Skin: The traditional blush is gentle and pink. Not too much bold
• Medium Skin: Experiment with peachy and orange-like tones as well as rose hues.
• If you have olive skin, consider warm hues such as reds, plums, purples, and reddish-browns.
• If you have dark skin, you can wear a larger variety of colors; choose olive, apricot, red, reddish-plum, reddish-brown, and purple. AN INTRODUCTION TO MAKEUP: TYPES OF MAKEUP BY BEAUTIE VITE MAKEOVERS
