What are the must-haves in your face makeup kit?

For flawless facial makeup, it is key to have the right products according to your skin type and the finish you want. Whether it's for a natural look or full coverage, these are the essentials you can't miss in your kit:

Foundation: Choose a lightweight formula if you're looking for a natural finish or a high coverage foundation to conceal imperfections. For dry skin, opt for moisturizing foundations; for oily skin, mattifying and oil-free formulas.

Concealer: Ideal for concealing dark circles and minor imperfections. If you need to illuminate, use a lighter shade than your skin tone; to neutralize blemishes, choose color correctors according to need.

Compact or loose powder: Helps to seal makeup and control shine. Translucent powders are ideal to maintain a natural finish without altering the tone of the foundation.

Blusher: Brings freshness and vitality to the face. For a juicy effect, use cream blushes; for longer wear, opt for powder blushes.

Highlighter: Highlight key points of the face and add a touch of luminosity. For a subtle glow, choose satin highlighters; for a more dramatic finish, shimmery highlighters are perfect.

Bronzer or contour: Define features and add warmth to the face. Use bronzing powders for a natural look or cream products for more precision.

Setting spray: Seals makeup and prolongs its wear. There are matte, moisturizing or illuminating options depending on the effect you want.

Key ingredients in face makeup products

Facial makeup not only enhances beauty, but can also bring benefits to the skin if it has the right ingredients. From hydration and sun protection to antioxidant properties, here's what to look for in each product to achieve a flawless finish while caring for your skin.

Hyaluronic acid (deep hydration): Present in foundations, concealers and primers, this ingredient helps retain moisture in the skin, preventing dryness and improving elasticity. It is ideal for foundations with a juicy effect and dry or mature skin.

Sun filters (UV protection): Many foundations and BB creams include SPF, which protects the skin from UV rays and prevents premature aging. Although a foundation with SPF is helpful, it is always advisable to apply a sunscreen before makeup for complete protection.

Vitamin C (Brightening and antioxidant): This potent antioxidant, present in some pre-bases, foundations and fixers, helps fight free radicals, brighten skin and even out tone. It is an excellent choice for dull or blemished skin.

Niacinamide (oil control and pore minimization): Widely used in oil-free primers and foundations, niacinamide controls sebum production, reduces the appearance of pores and calms the skin, making it ideal for combination and oily skin.

Natural extracts and essential oils (care and nourishment): Ingredients such as aloe vera, jojoba oil or green tea provide hydration, soothe the skin and help maintain its natural balance. They are found in many makeup products with gentler formulas suitable for sensitive skin.

Frequently asked questions about face makeup

What face makeup products are best for sensitive skin?

If you have sensitive skin, it's important to choose products with hypoallergenic, fragrance-free and alcohol-free formulas, as these ingredients can cause irritation. Opt for light, moisturizing foundations, concealers with soothing ingredients such as aloe vera or chamomile and mineral powders, which allow the skin to breathe. Brands such as Maria Orbai, Saigu and Physicians Formula offer ideal options for sensitive skin.

What is the difference between BB cream and CC cream?

BB cream (Blemish Balm) is a lightweight foundation with moisturizing properties and, in many cases, sun protection. It is perfect for evening out skin tone in a natural way. CC cream (Color Correcting) has greater coverage and is formulated to correct color problems, such as redness or hyperpigmentation. It is ideal for those who are looking for a lighter but more corrective makeup.

How should I combine concealer, foundation and blush for a natural, well-integrated finish?

For a natural effect, first apply a light foundation and blend well. Then, use a concealer on specific areas such as dark circles or small imperfections, blending with a sponge or brush. Finish with a cream blush for a juicy effect, or a powder blush if you prefer a more matte finish. To blend everything better, you can seal with a setting spray to even out the textures.

What type of bronzer and highlighter should I use if I have dry skin to prevent it from looking patchy or rough?

If your skin tends to dry out, avoid very dense powder products and opt for cream or balm bronzers and highlighters instead. These textures blend better with the skin and provide a more hydrated and natural finish. You can also choose satin powders with moisturizing ingredients to prevent the skin from looking dull or textured.

Is it possible to combine liquid and powder products without them looking incompatible or uneven?

Yes, but you must follow the correct order. First apply the cream or liquid products (foundation, concealer, cream blush) and make sure to blend them well. Then, seal with translucent powder in the necessary areas and add powder products (such as bronzer or highlighter) with a light brush to avoid build-up. To make sure everything blends well, finish with a setting spray.
