Primer: The base of your makeup

 

A thumb rule for getting ready for any occasion is to apply a primer before you apply anything else. As the name suggests, a primer is a crucial makeup must-have. It acts like a base for your entire makeup, that helps your makeup to stay put for a long time. So, first thing first, use a primer on your face right after you have moisturised to prevent the makeup from melting and to stay put until your working hours. Primers also hides your blemishes and those spots, giving you a spotless base for makeup. Here are some of our top picks of primers for you.

You can choose to ditch a foundation if you wish to, but the fact is that it evens your skin tone by covering imperfections, redness, and blemishes. So, applying it right after your primer creates an even-toned skin, that is just perfect for any kind of makeup. Foundation comes in various textures, liquid, cream, powder, and stick, choosing one that fits right as per your skin’s texture is a crucial task.

Mascara: For volumnious lashes

Mascara enhances the eyes by making lashes appear fuller and more defined. It is usually applied with a wand that coats the lashes evenly from root to tip. Accentuate your look by gliding a stroke of mascara that adds volume to your lashes. Blacken them, darken them, add length to them, but the tip would be, don’t overdo them. Go for a waterproof mascara, that won’t smudge throughout the celebration.
