Makeup Guide for Beginners (Thread 3)

[vuzhia]

pa join! medyo may alam na ako sa basic concealer & thank God marunong na akong mag kilay, kakatakot pala mga old photos ko nung hindi pa ako naglalagay ng kilay kase putol & kalbo ang kilay ko ahaha! salamat youtube

ang gusto ko naman matutunan ay yung pag highlight & contour kase napapansin ko pag may special occasions & makita ko yung mga photos ko parang flat & plain white lang yung mukha ko kahit pag check ko naman sa mirror muk up na muk up ako kaya I think need ko matutunan kahit kaunting contouring lang

meron lang ako yung highlighter & bronzer ng ELF na uber tagal na sa akin hindi pa rin ubos, need ko yata mag update ng new products na affordable for begginer kaya check muna ulit sa YT

Mga sis! Question lang po about eyelash curlers. Depende ba talaga sa brand? Kasi ang alam ko lang pare-pareho sila ng purpose at effect sa lashes. I'm using Etude's at nakagamit narin ako nung sa Marionnaud pero same effect lang sila para sakin. I've read dito sa GT na maganda yung sa Fanny Serrano na comparable daw sa Shu Uemura. Wala kasi akong idea sa difference ng mga eyelash curlers.

[Heatherette]

^In my experience depende din sa eye shape. Sikat ang Shu dito sa GT pero sa akin naiipit yung mata ko. Pero nung sinubukan ko yung Shiseido, sobrang ganda na

[lionheart2010]

Thanks sa mga feedback dun sa post ko. Ano bang ok na primer for beginners? Yung local sana para mas affordable. TIA ulit!

[budzwhiz]

^ Sis maybe try Maybelline pore eraser.

[lionheart2010]

^sis, will it conflict sa Maybelline Dream Matte Mouse na pinagaambisyunan ko? Nakita ko lang yun sa friend ko pero ang ganda ng face nya nung ginamit nya un.

[momlory]

pa join sis. Wala pa kong sariling set of makeup until now hindi ko alam pano magsisiimula. Parang ang trabaho kasi based sa nababasa ko may priimier, concealer etc sa face palang yan.

[ohcmon]

^ I would suggest unahin mo muna skincare before makeup. This is probably what I did wrong when I was still starting out haha. Minimal products ang needed when you have excellent skin.

Sa una lang naman 'yung matrabaho part. Wala na lang sa'yo 'pag nasanay ka na.

[vuzhia]

sisses anong good lip primer? thanks

[reighnyielle]

Parang ang trabaho kasi based sa nababasa ko may priimier, concealer etc sa face palang yan.

Matrabaho talaga siya sis but once you get accustomed to it, hindi ka na mahihirapan 

I would suggest unahin mo muna skincare before makeup. This is probably what I did wrong when I was still starting out haha. Minimal products ang needed when you have excellent skin.

Same sentiments sis. I'm investing more sa skincare kasi I wanna achieve really good skin so that I don't have to wear makeup anymore on regular days 

[roxyhart]

Correct, have a sensible skincare routine muna and invest in good quality skincare products fitting your skin's conditions, then you can slowly build up your makeup. Cleanse - double cleanse (if you use makeup or SPF) - tone/ acid tone - serum - moisturizer -- that's the basic routine. Of course, don't forget sunblock too!

Makeup can be used to enhance our features, pero siyempre much better if we have a smooth canvas. But for me, I use makeup because it's so much fun! I thoroughly enjoy the process. Same enjoyment I get from investing in skincare and doing my "pahid pahid ng kung anik anik" morning and night hehe.

And once you've decided to build on your makeup, I suggest you start with your base (primer + foundie/ tinted moisturizer etc) + brows + a little bit of blush + a basic lipstick that makes your features pop out. Brows are very important ha. Then you can venture into contouring, eyeliners, eyeshadows, mascara, and all the other fun stuff hihi.

How do you shop for foundation? I mean make-up gurus from States recommend bringing your own mini jars and taking samples and taking them home to try under natural light to see if it oxidizes etc.

But is that possible in Philippines? Are there specific brands who are generous in giving free samples?

[plumpolka]

^ walang free samples pero i try sa testers talaga mismo. para makita ko din yung tamang shade para sakin then ikot ikot  muna sa mall to see kung okay ba sya sa mukha ko or hindi.

[hushush]

Hello sisses na makeup experts..please recommend a makeup palette na hindi mabilis mabura sa presyong abot-kaya (P500 and below) ..nichido kasi yun natry ko.di ko sya gusto kasi mabilis mabura...ginamit ko kasi sa anak ko for her moving up photos nakailang retouch kami bago pa sya mapicturan e laging nabubura ang eye shadow..😊

[plumpolka]

^ i use shawil cream eyeshadow, ok naman sya. make sure lang to prime your eyes para sure na kakapit yung colors at wag mahiyang kapalan. i dont have any branded eyeshadow palette. h&m, shawil, loreal, in2it, meron pang isa pero drugstore lang din di ko na maalala... yun lang yung mga eyeshadows ko pero they last the whole day naman. yun din nga ginagamit ko pag nagpapamakeup sakin mga sisters ko and sakin din pag may event. minsan kasi its not the brand, its the way you prep & apply it on your face. if oily yung lids, need ng primer para magstay yung color.

[hushush]

^thank you sis plumpolka for the suggestions 😊
About primer..ano ba sis usually yun ginagamit?dahil noob din ako sa makeup lalo pag bata di ko na ginagamitan ng foundation..deretso apply lang kung ano gusto nya hehe.kung gusto lang ng blue, yun lang ang ilalagay ko sa lids.. 😊

[plumpolka]

^ maganda daw eye primer ng urban decay pero tipid kasi ako hahaha! so ang ginagamit ko sa lids ko is concealer lang. oily din kasi yung lids ko so make sure na lang din na pag naglagay ka ng eyeshadow, naka-kapit talaga sa balat mo. may officemate ako na everytime na nag eeyeshadow sya, mga lunch time nasa pisngi na nya hahaha! baka parang nakapatong lang kasi yung shadow sa lids nya kaya nahuhulog.

[mrsonthego]

yung primer ba pang buong face na or eyes lang? sorry tangalang hahahah, yung nichido kasi na foundation stick ilang oras lang hulas na,if may primer ba maglalast ba kaya ng buong araw? thanks sa sasagot

[plumpolka]

^ may primer na for face, meron din na for lids lang. pwede mag stay foundation sa face mo if may primer or pwede ring hindi, depende sa skin type and sa quality din ng foundation. and make sure you use the right type of foundation. sa friend ko ok naman daw sa kanya yung foundation ng nichido pero cake foundation yung ginagamit nya. try different brands na hiyang ka.

[ficklemind]

^^ sis meron face primer then meron din eye primer, may lip primer nga din e.
Makeup primer is a base for smoother application and may claims na it can help your makeup to  last longer. You can try sis.
Ako kasi use ko for face primer is for smoother application ng foundation at para kumapit talaga, may pagkadry kasi skin ko, pag walang primer parang ang hirap i-aaply ng foundation. it acts as barrier na din between my face at sa kung ano2x nilagagay ko.
I rely on setting spray para maglast makeup ko.
