The terms “Natural Makeup Look,” “Everyday Makeup Look,” “No Makeup, Makeup Look,” and many others have flooded the internet. With diverse styles, tools, and tactics, the world of cosmetics has gotten increasingly complicated over the years. It might be intimidating for a newbie.
There are so many “essential” items on the market that buying makeup or beauty care products might feel superfluous at times. Entering the cosmetics world may be exhausting due to the sheer uncertainty of “what to buy?”, “how to apply?”, and several other whys.
What to Buy?
What to buy is the most commonly asked and puzzling question. Everyone has their own set of essentials that they live by. For some, the list of products and brands may be more extensive, whilst for others, three items are plenty.
Let’s create a balance between too many and too few beauty products and make the most of them for a flawless everyday makeup look.
1. Face Makeup
We frequently overuse facial products, making the makeup appear cakey rather than natural. With so many products on the market, such as foundation, concealer, BB cream, CC cream, compact powder, loose powder, and so on, deciding on which sort of base product to use can be difficult.
It is crucial to prepare your skin with a moisturiser and SPF. This step cannot be skipped, regardless of skin type. Whether you have oily, combination, or dry skin, you need a moisturiser all year. Skin becomes dehydrated and requires moisture throughout the day to remain soft and plump. Apply SPF to protect your skin from damaging UV radiation.
When it comes to makeup,
-
Primer:
After your skin has been fully moisturised and hydrated, it is time to apply your makeup. A primer creates a smooth base by filling up your pores for a flawless application. It keeps your makeup on longer and keeps it from cracking, flaking, or creasing. As a result, it is essential to select a primer that is appropriate for your skin type.
-
Foundation:
Opting for BB or CC cream instead of foundation for a daily makeup look is a common error made by novices and makeup enthusiasts. Hear us out. A foundation can be sheered down for light coverage by mixing in a moisturiser. However, establishing a reasonable amount of coverage from BB or CC cream might be challenging on days when more oomph and coverage are desired. Rather than investing in two separate products and reducing your budget, it is always preferable to invest in one quality product that can be utilised in a variety of ways.
-
Compact Powder:
Compacts are so simple and versatile that they can be used to set makeup to a matte finish or on their own for a light matte finish. A medium-to-buildable coverage compact is an excellent place to start. If you’re unsure, go for compacts that have been finely milled to give your skin a non-patchy airbrush effect. In terms of makeup, a skincare-infused makeup product is always a bonus. Botanico Timeless Matte Compact, a 99% naturally derived product, is highly recommended to ease your concern about breakouts. It is long-lasting and waterproof, allowing your makeup to stay intact all day. Because of the skincare-infused natural formula, it is suitable for everyday use.

2. Eye Makeup
Because of their large and intimidating eyeshadow palettes, inexperience with liquid liners, or a poor encounter with a smearing kohl pencil, eye cosmetics are often overlooked. There are so many products for such a small area to work with. Let’s look at the best eye makeup products for everyday use.
-
Eyeshadow Stick:
In everyday makeup, eyeshadows are more often skipped than added to the mix to save time because they have a reputation for being a very elaborate process to achieve in a time crunch. To make things simpler, opt for an eyeshadow stick rather than an eyeshadow palette. It will be travel-friendly, quick to use, and won’t require any brushes, so it makes the process completely hassle-free. Kiro’s Longwear Brightening Eyeshadow Sticks are a great investment for any beginner or makeup enthusiast. It is infused with Vitamin C and Mango Seed Oil to soothe and nourish your eyes throughout the day. As the name suggests, it is long-wearing, so sweat, splash or rain, it can handle it all. The creamy, weightless formula gives a smooth glide.

Eyeliner Pen:
Here’s why we recommend an eyeliner pen: it’s fine, precise, and easy to use. With eyeliner pens, one can get a perfect wing every single time. Choosing an eyeliner pen that is long-lasting and, most importantly, waterproof is essential. We all have had times when the rain gods have surprised us with drizzles and showers, humidity and heat make us sweat, as well as our emotions, have taken the best of us, so having a smudge-proof and waterproof eyeliner is essential. Waterproof soft-matte eyeliner with all the requirements packed in one. There is no doubt about this one; it can survive your longest workday and still look perfect by the end of it.

Kajal:
The classic. You can never go wrong with a good kajal. Always make sure to opt for waterproof and smudge-proof kohl. We all have bad memories and funny stories of bleeding, smearing, and melting kajal. Having flashbacks? Let us help you with one of the best on the market.

3. Lip Products
Lipsticks come in different finishes, formulas, and shades. It’s natural to get confused between them. Until now, we have understood that long-lasting products come under essentials for everyday makeup. Lipsticks are one of the most versatile makeup products. It’s not just for the lips; it can also be used as an eyeshadow, colour corrector, blush, and other cosmetics.
