FAQs
1. Should I go for only specific products/looks? How do I know what doesn’t work for me?
Always remember – don’t just blindly follow trends, do your research and opt for what works best for you. Whenever trying a new product, do a patch test on the inside of your wrist so that there are no adverse reactions to any ingredients when you apply directly to your face.
2. How do I get the most out of my makeup combo for beginners?
Always cleanse and prime your skin before applying makeup – this ensures even coverage and prevents an artificial cakey finish. Start with less products which do more, like a multi-purpose lip & cheek tint which can act as eyeshadow, blush as well as lipstick – so you save more while needing less products!
3. Shall I read the fine print? There is a lot I do not understand!
Yes, always look at the fine print – opt for vegan, 100% cruelty-free makeup only. There will be relevant information and logos marking products as safe, look out for the bunny for instance. Make sure your products are free from mineral oil, sulfates, parabens and other nasties. And don’t forget to enjoy the compliments on your makeup!
