While most
of us have the basics covered (mascara, blusher, bronzer, lipstick, etc) there
are a few essentials that are very useful but are often overlooked. These basic
items help create a flawless visage and are just as important as anything else
when it comes to putting together a beautiful makeup look. Add these top
essentials to your makeup bag if you don’t have them already!
1. Eyelash Curlers
You will be
surprised by the difference if you haven’t curled your lashes before. A set of
eyelash curlers are affordable and open up your eyes instantly, giving you that
fresh, awake look. Add layers of mascara after you’ve curled your eyelashes to
create a dramatic beauty look with a focus on your eyes.
2. Eyebrow Gel
This might
not seem essential but well structure eyebrows are not only just trendy right
now, they also add balance to a face. Keep eyebrow hairs in place all day by
gently sweeping some eyebrow gel through them in the direction you’d like them
to stay in.
3. Lip Brush
If you ever
hope to create precise lipstick looks, you’ll need one of these. A lip brush
will give you much more precision than applying it directly from the lipstick.
Instead pick up some of the lipstick on a brush and paint on to your lips. This
trick is especially helpful for finishing off edges.
4. Translucent Powder
Translucent
powder comes pigment-less so it works with all skin tones and shades. Brush
over skin to give it a matte, flawless finish. You can also dab this powder
over spots as a concealer.
5. Foundation Primer
This might
seem like an extra expense but it pays for itself by keeping makeup products in
place for longer. A primer is a must if you want your foundation to stay put
for a long period of time.
