Welcome to the makeup world, folks! We are all guilty of scrolling through Instagram viral makeup tips and browsing YouTube makeup tutorials for hours. And accept it – you cannot restrain yourself from feeling inspired but also low-key envious of those women ( and even men ) who are winging their eyeliner oh-so-perfectly and dabbing their concealer so flawlessly.
So, ladies, it’s now time to take matters into your own hands. Let’s big goodbye to make-up faux pas and learn from scratch about the basic makeup hacks and tips.
In this blog, we have put together the must-know makeup tips for makeup amateurs and beginners. Let’s get started on our way to winning the makeup arena!
5 Must-Know Makeup Tips For Beginners
- Never, We Repeat, NEVER Skip Skincare!
Ladies, learn to prioritize your skin and put effort into keeping it healthy. Yes, that’s the first and most important make-up tip, which doesn’t include applying any make-up.
A skincare regime before you begin to bake your face with all makeup products is essential to keep your skin healthy, shiny, and enriching. It supports your makeup too as it provides a good base for it to stick better and look better.
You can or can not have a full-fledged skincare routine, depending on your skin type and lifestyle. But make it a point to at least cleanse, tone, and moisturize your skin daily.
We personally admire Mamaearth’s range of skincare products – take a look at the best-selling products here to pamper your skin!
- Begin With Your Trusted Primer
You must have heard about how painters prime the walls to ensure the paint adheres to the surface. Well, face priming doesn’t work any differently.
Primer prepares the base for your makeup. To quote how Allure explains primer, it is a preparatory product that’s applied after your skincare to create an ideal canvas to hold onto whatever makeup comes afterward.
Oh, that’s not it. We also heard that primers are multi-functional. So they keep your skin hydrated, brighten, fade fine lines and wrinkles, target acne, and add tons of moisture to your face.
Now you know the key to how to create the silky-smooth, poreless canvas face!
We recommend Maybelline New York Fit me Primer Matte + Poreless primer to create a flawless base!
- Pick the Right Foundation Shade
We cannot stress enough the importance of foundation shade. Your foundation can make or break your look. Duh, it’s in the name foundation – it is the underlying basis for your whole makeup.
If you’re wondering why your face looks too yellow or too white or too dull or too tanned – you probably picked up the wrong shade. And no, don’t go down the spiral of “how could I buy the wrong shade, I tested it before buying it”. Because if you tested it on your arm or wrist, we can’t help you. The best place to test your foundation is on your jawline. Make sure to blend it to know if it’s the perfect shade.
However, we know buying the perfect foundation is complicated – so many shades, finishes, coverages! Read this little guide to help yourself – find the right foundation shade for your skin.
- Bake, Women, BAKE!
Concealing the under-eye is enough for hiding your dark circles. However, it can highlight your under-eye creases all the way more. The trick here is to set your face with loose or translucent powder after applying the foundation and concealer.
Just apply the powder in the places you put concealer, let it rest for a while, and dust it off.
We recommend SUGAR All Set to Go Translucent Powder!
- There is More to Lipsticks!
Were you one hundred percent confident that you can’t go wrong with applying lipsticks? Well, there is a twist.
Lining your lips with a lip liner before applying lipstick makes a hell of a difference. It prevents your lip color from bleeding or smudging. Bonus point, you get structured lips, which are quite attractive.

All you have to do is buy a lip liner with a shade that matches or is slightly lighter than the lipstick you will be applying. Do not go crazy and overdraw – you need just a light-handed structure to fill in your lips.
By now, we all agree that makeup is an art. And you, queens, are on your way to master that art.
