Makeup

There isn’t an inch of doubt about the fact that the world of makeup is vast – and so are the range of techniques that are used for makeup application. For some people, makeup is a hobby, while for others it is a necessity. This is why some of you might be a lot fonder of watching makeup tutorials on Youtube while others just want to stick to the basics. However, there are some basic makeup do’s and don’ts that we all need to be aware of. This includes a few makeup tips for easy makeup application.

Today, we shall be taking you through 5 easy makeup application tips that you all need to know! Happy reading.

1. Use a damp Beauty Blender Sponge for a more natural look

Nobody wants to go full-glam with makeup every single time they open their makeup kit. There are times when you just want a more natural look and don’t want your face to look all caked up. For this purpose, you need to let go of your foundation brush and stick to the Beauty Blender Sponge. All you need to do is dampen it up a little under your tap-water and squeeze it a couple of times to make sure that there is no water left inside. Use this damp Beauty Blender to apply your Natural Glow Foundation and you’ll get a very soft and natural finish!

2. Be-friend your Eye-Primer

Always, always, always apply an eye-shadow primer before going in with eyeshadow application. If you think that your eyeshadow, as well as your eyeliner, are good quality products and they will last all day long on your bare eyelids then you are wrong. You need to go in with an eye primer first. Apply an eye primer on your eyelids with your finger and you will instantly notice you eyeshadow popping up upon application. This will make sure that your eyeshadow and your eyeliner don’t budge for the next 5-6hours. You can thank us later!

3. Use an Eye-Pencil on your Eyelid if you’re Learning to put Eyeliner

You might think that this makeup application tip means putting in double effort but you need to trust us with this. If you apply an eye-pencil on your eyelid first and then apply your eyeliner on top of it, it will become super-easy for you, especially if you are a beginner in the crazy world of eyeliners! This little practice will also help you master the art of eyeliner application.

4. Apply an Orange-Color Corrector Under your Eyes to Get Rid of those Dark Circles

This tip is one of our personal favorites. You can hide your dark under-eye circles in the split of a second if you apply an Orange Color Corrector or BB Cream underneath your eyes first. The orange applied on the grey will cancel out the darkness underneath your eyes. Now, apply your foundation and concealer on top and your face will look all brightened up with no sign of darkness!

5. Use a Tint on your Cheeks and Lips for a more Flushed Look

If you have recently joined the world of makeup and you don’t feel like diving into liquid lipsticks and cream blushes, then just buy a good tint and apply the same product on your cheeks and your lips with your finger-tips to get an overall flushed look. Not only will this save you time but will also be beneficial for your wallet since one product will be good enough to cover both the lips and the cheeks.

Makeup application is definitely not a piece of cake for every single person out there. However, with a few tips and tricks you can make things easier. Use the makeup application tips that we’ve shared here and make your makeup journey easier!

Hope this helped! Until next time

 

We bet that you already heard about mineral makeup but we are about to teach you a NO-FAIL guide for mineral foundation, you know these products that are causing a big change in the beauty industry. And you know why? Many of us are trying to find the solution to make our skin look flawless and the best way is to opt for natural, mineral products.

If we have a natural product at our disposal why shall we choose an artificial one, full of chemicals, like Sodium Chloride or Isopropyl Myristate? All we have to do is use mineral makeup, which is made of chemical-free ingredients, and provide pure qualities to our body and achieve the perfect looking skin.

Maybe you wonder what’s all the hype with mineral makeup? The truth is that mineral makeup contains more natural ingredients than the traditional makeup we are using every day. That’s a way you should take into consideration a change in your makeup routine and research what’s good for your body and for your skin/face. Naturally, mineral makeup, like loose mineral foundation powder, won’t cure your acne, but it can prevent future acne as it won’t clog your pores. That’s awesome because this will allow your skin to look more fresh and healthy and still stunning with its natural glow. That’s not all, almost all of our products are oil-free & all-natural. Find more info here.

If you still have any doubts, we want to tell you our last secret. Did you know that all mineral makeup has anti-irritation ingredients inside! Yes, that means mineral makeup is perfect for your skin even if you have acne, redness, irritation, rosacea, sensitive skin or you simply want to enhance your natural beauty.

ADVICE: From a professional side we want to tell you that mineral makeup is safer than traditional makeup and here are some READY-STEADY-GO Tips&Tricks on how to use it better:

1. Prepping your skin beforehand

We know you don’t like to spend a lot of time applying your makeup. We’ve been there, but it’s important to have a clean face before you start your makeup routine. Wash and clean your face with a cleanser, put on a refreshing toner and after that nourish your skin with a moisturizer. This will ensure that you have a perfectly clean base. You can also use a primer if you want to make sure that your makeup will last all day.

2. Eye makeup should be applied first

You remember the days when we did the eye makeup last? That’s long gone and if you don’t want your eye makeup to spread on your face....you must do it first. Why? Because it’s easy to clean if needed and you can remove the eyeshadows you’ve already done to easily change up your look if you don’t like it without ruining your whole makeup. That’s why.

3. Choosing the perfect brush

With a loose mineral foundation, you can’t go wrong. You will definitely achieve a natural look, but you may be left with a lot of excess powder which you can get rid of with the right brush. Brushes come in different sizes and shapes, you just have to find the perfect one for your face, so this is all down to your personal preference and what facilitates you a perfect look with every application. It’s very important to find the perfect one because you will see the reward at the end. TIP: Try to use a normal brush when applying your mineral makeup and then a professional one and you will see the differences. The brush is the most important thing when you are using mineral makeup.

4. Learn the correct technique

If you don’t know how to apply mineral makeup try to learn from the best. Utilize YouTube tutorials or use your own technique in order to have perfect looking skin at the end. Use a small amount of product, buff in it, try to apply with a circular motion to give your skin a natural finish. Consider updating your technique according to your skin needs. TRICK: Research, test and learn.

5. Use blush or bronzer product if necessary

Want that rosy color effect on your cheeks? After you finish your makeup you can add a little glow by using a mineral powder blush or bronzer. It’s very important to use a powder formula when you are using mineral makeup, especially loose mineral foundation because if you use a liquid formula blush or bronzer you can create a patchy finish. Just remember – Powder with Powder.

MICA BEAUTY

Your eyes and lips are where you are most likely to mix things up in your daily makeup routine, but your eyes are where you can really have some fun. Add drama, color, a smoky eye, or create a signature look by testing out different ways to make your eyes pop.

Play With Color

The first thing you want to decide each morning before you head to work or school, or on your way out for the evening is what eyeshadow colors to apply. You can play with current trending colors in eye makeup, of which pink and lime are hot for spring of 2019. You can match or contrast your eyes with your outfit. Or you can select colors that will make your eyes pop:

• Pink, purple, silver and gold make brown eyes pop
• Violet, plum, and purples make green eyes pop
• Chocolate brown and metallic neutrals make green eyes pop

MicaBeauty Mineral Makeup is extremely gentle, free of preservatives, chemicals, dyes, talc, oils, and other fillers—and it stays put all day!

The Perfect Gel Liner

Eyeliner frames your eyes making them pop. Black liner looks great on everyone, white liner in your inner corners brings tired eyes to life, and metallic and colored liners let you get creative. If you are new to applying liner or want to be a bit more subtle charcoal or chocolate is a great starting point. For those who love drama, play with thickens, wings, and cat eyes. Gel Eyeliners & Gel Eyebrow Liner are the easiest to apply and give you the most flexibility and freedom to get creative.  Apply your liquid liner after your shadow is complete and before your mascara.

The Magic Of 3D Fiber Mascara

You can apply false lashes daily, magnetic lashes as you wish, or have lashes individually applied—but don’t count out the magic of mascara. MicaBeauty 3D Fiber Mascara Kit brushes on length and thickness. Enjoy 3X thicker and fuller lashes with almost double the length. Be sure to curl before you apply.

Expert Tip: Prime Before You Apply

Have you ever found yourself frustrated when applying eyeshadow because it goes on much lighter in color than the pallet? Sometimes this is due to the quality of your cosmetics, but your skin tone plays a role in how saturated your shadow looks. To intensify the color and make it look like the pallet we suggest you apply MicaBeauty Eye Primer before you get started on your eyes. Regardless of your skin tone this primer delivers a neutral starting point, ensuring full color saturation. It will provide you with an even, smooth and long-lasting finish. Last but not least, it prevents creasing, smearing, and fading for all-day wear. You can also dab it on top of metallic shadow to create a matte finish.
