3 Makeup Essentials

Just getting started with makeup? Here's a list of 3 must-have products for your new collection.

1. Concealer
Your skin is your canvas, and unless it's already flawless, concealer will be your best friend. A great base will make all the difference with the rest of your makeup. Just a touch can be used to correct dark circles, discolorations, blemishes, or any other imperfections. Concealer will take your complexion to a whole new level, no foundation required!

Try: Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage Concealer $34

2. Blush
Peach! Pink! Coral! Bronze! Everyone could use a little colour. Blush is the perfect way to enhance your beauty. By faking a natural glow, blush adds radiance and dimension to the face. It's important to go for a colour and formula (powder, cream, gel, etc.)  that suits you. To find your perfect match, lightly pinch your cheeks and see what colour they naturally flush. Voila, there's you're ideal colour! Swirl over the apples of the cheeks with a fluffy blush, apply sparingly.

Try: Smashbox Blush Rush in Radiance $29

3. Mascara 
Mascara adds depth to the face by creating the illusion of fuller, longer lashes. It opens up the eye area and makes you look more awake, instantly. Apply 1 - 2 coats to upper lashes, focusing on the outer corners for a wide-eyed look. Brown looks most natural on most girls, but black is classically gorgeous too.

Try: L'Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black $9
