Basics of makeup application, products and tools every beginner should have

The basics of makeup are different for everyone. Some feel face products are essential while others feel a mascara is essential. Here are a list of items below we believe anyone and everyone can start and ‘must-have’.

As we all know, skincare is the base of all great makeup. When your skin looks and feels good, your makeup looks good. It is important to note that not all skincare is beneficial for all skin types. However, Lilit, the owner of Elcie Cosmetics, has created skincare specifically for this reason – a skincare line anyone can use and benefit from. Understanding your skin type is also important when it comes to application, but that’s for a different post.

If you are a face-makeup free girl, here are the products we think would be a perfect makeup must-have:

1.    Mascara! Our best-selling mascara has sold out several times for a reason. Whether you like a light lighter of lifted defined lashes or love a full mascara moment, our mascara is for you. Lashfull mascara is very buildable; thickening and lengthening. Defined lashes really do open up and define the eyes and help you look ‘put together’ without even trying.

2.    Lock-It-In Brow Gel: Sold out in a few days of its launch, for good reason. Whether you love a groomed brow or the laminated effect, this brow gel is for you. Even with no eye makeup, the brow gel alone makes you look effortlessly groomed.

3.    Lip Plush Balm: We all love a healthy lip. Our lip treatment balms come in clear or 4 versatile shades that add a hint of color to the lips while giving it a luscious healthy finish without the gloss. Love a gloss? Opt for our hybrid clear Lip Jelly.

If you love face-makeup and you’re that girl, here are your makeup must-haves:

1.    Foundation: this really is the base to your makeup. Abest seller for almost a decade, its no wonder its won so many awards. With its versatile application, you are able to achieve a satin, sheer coverage look or you can layer for its full coverage effect without looking cakey. The Micro Silque Foundation is oil-free, water based and has Vitamins A,C & E for a healthier approach to makeup.

2.    Bronzer: Lilit believes no face makeup is complete without a bronzer. Why? Well, we naturally have light and shadow around our face and when we use one shade of foundation to conceal, we tend to look very flat. In order to bring back dimension and our natural contours, our bronzer adds the perfect amount of warmth. Our bronzer comes in 4 shades, so that you can chose the shade that’s right for your skin tone – and with that, never look orange.
