Basic Makeup Tools for Girls

Everybody wants to look great. And sometimes, the secrets to looking great are hidden inside your own makeup toolbox. What lie inside your makeup kit are keys to staying beautiful.

One very important beauty tool you must have is the makeup sponge. Ideally, it should have the shape of a wedge with finer and flatter edges. The finer edge will be used to blend the foundation around the nose and jaw line, while the flatter edge will be used for the cheeks, forehead and chin.

Another beauty tool you must have is the powder brush. A powder brush works better than a sponge when dusting powder on. A powder brush gives you more control when dusting powder on. Leave a space, too, for several eyeshadow brushes and at least one eyeshadow sponge. An eyeshadow sponge is recommended when putting on eyeshadow that does not require much blending, or when highlighting the area of your brow bones.

Your basic makeup toolbox must also contain an all-in-one eyelash brush or comb. You will be using this to brush through your mascara-coated eyelashes so they become clump-free. Also, always keep a lip brush handy. This is a necessary tool to ensure that your lip area is fully covered by lip color. A lip brush may also soften the effect of your lip color, giving it a smooth finish.

Do not forget, too, to have a pair of eyebrow tweezers. Your tweezers must have pointed or slanted tips because such can hold the hair much better. You will be needing this when plucking out unwanted hair and reshaping your eyebrows to emphasize your eyes, making them stand-out and naturally beautiful.

Finally, always have an eyelash curler around. This is especially useful if you want eyelashes that look great even without putting mascara on!
