Top 10 Makeup Essentials for Beginners – Tropic Skincare

The first time I wore makeup I was an eight year old girl who just had a glittery liquid eyeliner and a dream. I managed to convince my mom to buy me this glittery, gelled monstrosity for Christmas with the ever-compelling line, “every girl in my class can wear it.” I wanted to be a princess or a pop star or both at the same time.

I don’t remember if my obsession with getting a lush eye was more Britney- or Disney-inspired, but I do remember the butterflies of excitement when I’d put sparkling silver globules on my eyelids (in what was supposed to be movie chic). ).

After that first mishap with sticky eyelids, things looked up. In fact, I would say that I got pretty good at doing makeup after years of trial and error. And aside from improving my skills, not much has changed since then – I still use makeup as a confidence-boosting superpower!

So, without further ado, here are my ten beginner makeup essentials (and I solemnly swear not to include glitter eyeliner).

Essentials in every makeup beginner’s beauty routine:

1) Cleanser + toner (pre-makeup)

think of it this way – You wouldn’t take your car on a long road trip without first making sure it had enough gas, would you? Well, the same concept applies to makeup. If you want to make sure your look goes all the way, you’ll need to prepare your skin properly.

Cleansing, exfoliating (if you don’t have sensitive skin), and toning will keep your skin fresh, hydrated, and ready for makeup application. We recommend our nutritious Complexion Purifying Smoothing Cleanser – which gently melts away any dirt and ensures you start with a clean slate – and our Juicy Greens Exfoliating Toning EssenceIt acts as a gentle exfoliator and a moisturizing toner.

2) Moisturizer + primer (pre-makeup)

A good foundation helps create a smooth canvas for the makeup you apply on top. Avoid dry patches, dullness or uneven coverage by using a specially designed face primer or targeted moisturizer before applying foundation.

Depending on your skin type, our Skin Dream Firming Night Cream (for dry skin), Skin Feast Nourishing Moisturizer (for balanced or combination skin), and Fresh Waves Balancing Moisturizer (for oily, blemish-prone skin) are all COSMOS certified organic moisturizers that also work as perfect primers. Each one of them not only works to keep your foundation in place, but also treats your skin to the natural goodness it deserves.

3) Basic Brushes

No makeup routine is complete without good, sturdy brushes. You may think that doing your makeup with your bare hands is the most eco-friendly option, but it doesn’t have to be that way!

Our Eco Artist range of sustainable wooden makeup brushes are vegan, ethically sourced and expertly crafted to ensure a flawless makeup application every time. For makeup beginners, we recommend the Eco Artist Precision Face Brush for the complexion, Eco Artist 3 in 1 Eye Brush for eyes and eyebrows, and Eco Artist Lip Brush for lips Et voilà, you are ready to paint!

4) Foundation

Meanwhile, the coconut aminos in the formula help condition and soften skin. Trust us, you don’t need the sun to warm up your skin tone!

6) A Reliable Makeup Palette

Our Custom Color Palette is the golden key to your easy makeup routine. You can choose your own unique setting based on your preference, but we recommend choosing setting B.

Eyes On You Pressed Shadowsa bold and a neutral tone of Kiss Me Quick Lipstickone Way To Glow Cream or Compact Highlighterand one Blush Crush Cream or Compact Powder.
