Hello, today I am going to be going over all the makeup products and what the purpose of each one is! There are tons, so if you’re just beginning in makeup I bet it can be a bit overwhelming hearing about so many! Don’t worry, this blog post will go in-depth on showing the purpose of all makeup products and what they do!
Primer
Primer is an important step when using makeup, especially when wearing a full face! The purpose of primer is to fill up the pores, bumpy textures, and small creases to make your face more even and easier to work with. Think of it as helping your skin with becoming a blank canvas, and it’s also going to help with making foundation and concealer easier to apply.
Foundation
You’ve most likely heard of this product before, foundation! Foundation acts as a base in makeup and helps with creating an even complexion along with covering flaws. I wanted to mention that foundation is not necessary, personally, I prefer no foundation and opt for concealer!
Concealer
Concealer helps with brightening, it’s a bit thicker compared to foundation because it helps with hiding dark circles. It also helps with covering age spots, and pigments. Make sure to apply your concealer on top of your foundation too!

Eye Primer
This makeup product can be extremely useful if you’re doing a vibrant eyeshadow look! The color of eye primer is neutral and helps with preventing creasing. Also, this isn’t a necessity to make up just a product that would help out!
Eyeshadow
Eyeshadow is amazing because it can totally change up the mood of your makeup look! Generally speaking, eyeshadow is very easy to use when using only one shade since you don’t have to work with blending.
Bronzer
Bronzer is the go-to product that helps you with achieving that sun-kissed glow! You can purchase them either matte or shimmery. Bronzer helps with sculpting your face while also lifting your cheekbones!
Blush
Blush is extremely useful and also gives your face a pop of color and vibrance! You can use liquid blush for a dewy finish, powder for a matte finish, and shimmery for a glowing finish. Pro Tip: Use an angled brush and apply the blush along your cheekbone to give your face a lifted effect.
Highlighter
Next up, highlighter! I remember discovering highlighter for the first time when I was 9 or 10 and I was immediately fascinated! Highlighter gives you a beautiful glowing finish, personally, I love gold highlighter! FENTY makes them best, their mini sets are an amazing deal because it comes with both gloss and highlighter.
Lash Curler
I can admit it can be a bit intimidating to use at first because of the way it looks but it’s completely safe! A lash curler basically prepares your lashes for mascara by lifting them up and giving them a little boost. Also always remember to use a lash curler before mascara never the other way around, you can risk ripping out all your lashes by applying mascara then curling your lashes!

Mascara
Mascara can seriously change up your whole look! Mascara lifts and lengthens your lashes giving your eyes a beautiful effect.
Brow Gel
Brow gel helps with making your brows stay put! If you have bushier eyebrows but are looking for a way to shape them while making them stay put then this is just the product for you. You can purchase brow gel in any shade, if you are a beginner I would recommend clear brow gel because it’s not a problem if you mess up! Also, I would recommend using clear brow gel if you fill in your brows compared to colored.
Lip Products
There are actually many different lip products that range from glosses to mattes! Lipgloss will give your lips a glossy finish and a matte lipstick will give you a mattifying finish!
Setting Spray
Now it’s time to lock all the makeup in, and that’s what setting spray is for! Setting spray also helps with preventing fading, smudging, and how long your makeup look lasts!
