A comprehensive guide with makeup tips for beginners

Step 1: Cleanse and hydrate

Good makeup always starts with a clean and well-hydrated face. By cleansing your face, you remove impurities and any makeup residue. A clean and hydrated face ensures makeup applies smoothly.

Whether your skin is dry, oily, or a combination of both, applying a moisturizer is essential for a smooth, even complexion.

Step 2: Apply primer

Primer plays an important role in every basic makeup routine. It is a base that prepares your skin for foundation and other makeup products.

Applying a good makeup primer helps even out skin texture, reduces the visibility of pores, creates a smooth, even base for makeup, ensures your makeup lasts longer, and is gentle on your skin.

Mineralissima's Mineral Primer Flawless Base evens and mattifies your skin, creates the perfect base for your foundation, and gives your makeup an extra touch.

Step 3: Choose a full-coverage foundation

The next step is applying a foundation that forms a base for other makeup products. A foundation helps even out your complexion and gives your face a flawless finish.

Choose a foundation that matches your skin tone. Apply it to your jawline and neck to find the right shade for your complexion. Mineral foundation is the ideal choice for people with sensitive skin who want to look their best while caring for their skin.

Mineralissima's Mineral Foundation Pine is a mineral foundation with a warm undertone that offers natural coverage and a matte finish, perfect for those who want a fresh, even complexion.

Step 4: Camouflage dark spots and imperfections with concealer

Now that you have applied foundation, it's time to camouflage your imperfections with a concealer. Whether it's pimples, dark circles, acne, or redness, concealer helps to cover the areas that need extra coverage.

Apply a small amount of concealer to the relevant areas and gently blend it with your fingers, a brush, or a sponge. You can also use concealer to brighten the skin under your eyes and look more awake and fresh.

Mineralissima's Skin Fix Concealer Light has a light, creamy texture and offers powerful coverage without feeling heavy on the skin.

Step 5: Set your makeup with a setting powder

Setting powder is essential to set your foundation and reduce excess shine. Powder Foundation also helps to set your foundation and concealer, so your makeup stays perfect all day.

Mineralissima's Oil Control Powder Medium mattifies your face without leaving a heavy layer. The powder has a transparent finish and is ideal for medium to light skin with a neutral undertone.

Step 6: Add dimension with bronzer

Bronzer is a fantastic way to warm up your complexion, add more dimension to your face, contour, and create a more defined look. Apply bronzer in the hollows of your cheeks, along your jawline, and on the sides of your forehead.

Mineralissima's Mineral Bronzer Sunkissed gives a natural, sun-kissed glow without turning orange, perfect for creating subtle warmth or building a radiant complexion.

Step 7: Apply blush for a healthy glow

Blush gives a fresh, radiant appearance and a makeup look that makes you look more awake and lively, especially when combined with a neutral, matte foundation. Choose a shade that matches your skin tone. Peach is most suitable for light to medium skin.

Mineralissima's Mineral Blush is a light pink matte shade that feels airy on the skin and is perfect for a natural, fresh look.

Step 8: Use a highlighter to accentuate your glow

To complete your radiant makeup look, apply highlighter to the high points of your face. Highlighter draws attention to the areas where light naturally hits, creating a radiant, dewy finish.

Mineralissima's Mineral Highlighter Cotton Candy is a metallic pink highlighter that reflects light exactly where needed, giving your skin a fresh, cool glow.

Step 9: Apply eyeshadow

Now it's time to accentuate your eyes with eyeshadow. If you want a bold look, this step adds drama to your eyes. Apply eyeshadow on your upper lash line, and for an even more dramatic effect, you can also apply it on your lower lash line.

Mineralissima's Mineral Eyeshadow Nude is truly a must-have, so versatile in its simplicity. It is a soft beige shade with a neutral shimmer, and nude is the perfect base for an everyday look.

Step 10: Apply lip gloss

The final step is applying lip gloss to complete your look. Lip gloss gives a shiny finish that makes your lips look more beautiful. Choose a clear lip gloss for a subtle look or a tinted gloss for a vibrant color accent.

Mineralissima's Natural Lipgloss Charm is a natural lip gloss in a timeless vintage pink shade. This romantic gloss gives a soft shine and a touch of elegant color to your lips.
