Before being a hobby that makes you look more like a Picasso painting than a Monet, makeup is a profession. And if we don’t all decide to make it our vocation, mastering the art of makeup is essential as a beautista. Here are 10 essentials to get started.
Makeup is an art that we learn at a young age thanks to YouTube (with Sananas and EnjoyPhoenix as teachers, like in 2010), or later when we want to enhance our beauty in a way other than skincare. While some beauty products like lipstick , foundation or blush seem, at first glance, simple to use, they actually require real skills if we don’t want to look like Bozo the clown. Fortunately, makeup brands have thought of all levels, from beginners to the most experienced, to create makeup products that can fulfill their role without being too complex to use. Tinted serum instead of foundation, pink lip balm for the mouth, eyebrow pencil: we list the essentials for a beginner’s makeup , but successful!
10 Makeup Essentials for Beginners
1/10 Blush Cooling Water Jelly Tint de Milk Makeup,
This is the blush trend that no one has been able to escape at the start of 2024: Milk Makeup’s Jelly Tints are a must-have. For makeup dummies, we love them because their buildable aspect allows you to adopt all the intensities of look, on the cheeks or lips.
2/10 NARS Tinted Lip Balm,
NARS Afterglow Lip Balm Lipstick
Who said you absolutely had to wear lipstick to do your makeup well? If spilling over your lips is one of the fears of those who don’t know how to use a small tube, tinted lip balm is the right alternative. Use it without moderation for subtly colored lips that are hydrated at the same time.
To apply eye makeup without too much complexity, makeup brands have thought practical and simple, by launching stick eyeshadows . More compact but creamy in their texture, they are adjustable and easy to apply to the eyelid. Simply blend them with a brush or finger to obtain the desired look.
4/10 Laura Mercier Transparent Loose Powder
Loose powder is the best friend of all skin types, and especially, of all makeup levels. Adjustable, it is applied to shiny areas (especially the T-zone, forehead, nose, chin), without worrying too much about the quantity. Indeed, if it is transparent, loose powder is imperceptible!

5/10 Contouring chubby stick
Working on your complexion without looking like a corpse is done with a good blush and contouring ! Applied in the hollows of the cheeks, on the temples and the bridge of the nose, dark makeup will create areas of shadow to give extra relief to the face. In this case, we strongly recommend the pencil and chubby stick formats, easy to apply and blend with a brush.
6/10 ILIA Tinted Serum with
Between finding the right color, coverage, and texture, applying foundation can be a real challenge. When you’re new to makeup, it’s easier to opt for tinted serums , which provide a fresh complexion without the heavy coverage of foundation. A little bonus with ILIA’s, which has a UV 30 filter, perfect for going outside.
7/10 Anastasia Beverly Hills Eyebrow
To work on your eyebrows when you’re starting out in makeup, several options are available to us : the powder version, the gel version, or even the pencil. More suitable for small levels, the pencil will offer unrivaled precision and modularity. We draw our line, we brush in the direction of the hair, and that’s it.
8/10 Highlighter fluide de Charlotte Tilbury,
Just like eyeshadow or contouring, liquid versions of makeup are best for beginners, thanks to their adaptability. For highlighter , simply apply it to light-reflecting areas, such as the top of the cheekbones, the cupid’s bow on the lips, or the tip of the nose, and blend with your finger for a natural result.
9/10 Gloss hydratant de Kiko
Another alternative to lipstick: gloss ! More transparent, less pigmented but still just as beautiful, it is applied to the mouth with less precision than a lipstick, perfect for beginners.
10/10 Makeup by Mario liquid foundation
For the most ambitious makeup enthusiasts, foundation can also be applied with a small level! Just choose a light, adjustable formulation and above all with a shade perfectly adapted to the skin tone. The one from Makeup by Mario, with its fluid texture, is very suitable for beginners.
