The Beauty Essentials 

  1. The Tools 

Before we start talking about strobing and baking . The most essential ingredient to a beautiful skin is the Beauty regime . 

Cleanse , Rinse , Tone and Moisturise. 

We will talk about that in another blog. 

Let’s get down to the basic. Before you start you need these tools – Its a must ! You can always use your fingers to apply makeup but that will change the consistency and colour of the foundation before you know it you will have a different product all together .  So yes – use a Beauty blender

Pros – blends makeup to its minutest detail

Cons – harnesses bacteria and causes Acne. Have to clean it everyday. 

Don’t forget makeup brushes are the best alternative option and how can we forget to mention the — ShhhhReal techniques base brush set!

    2.   Primer 

We have tested and tried many primers. All work equally well but the best ones depending on skin type are as follows.

Oily skin /Combination skin 

  • Benefit pore professional 
  • Smash box photo finish primer 
  • L’Oréal infallible mattifying base

Dry skin / Sensitive skin 

  • Charlotte Tilbury’s wonder glow 
  • Laura mercier radiance primer 
  • Mac prep and prime 

   3.  Base/ foundation 

Aaaaahhh!!! Now that’s the most essential and complicated item one can ever be satisfied from. The humidity , temperature and light can continue to change the way  the base looks on your face hence would require different foundations based on the environment. 

We got down to try and test every product on every counter from A-Z. Many foundations had the consistency of a cakey look , which we don’t blame anyone using it for instagram and photography but in real life it looks horrible , so if you don’t find some foundations on the list well that’s because they are not for daily use .

The products we can swear by ! 

MARC JACOBS ! Haven’t got a chance to touch this beauty! One drop and thats  all you need to add to any foundation. Voila! You have your custom made foundation .
