Your goal
Recognize the job of each product and build a small routine around your own priorities.
Try it step by step
- Foundation evens the overall look of the complexion; sheer, medium and full coverage describe how much of the skin shows through.
- Concealer targets smaller areas. Blush adds color, while a brow product fills or defines the brows. Lip color changes the lip finish.
- Setting powder changes the finish and helps set a base. Start with only the products you expect to use, rather than treating every category as compulsory.
Practise this
Lay out the products you own and label each one: base, targeted coverage, color or finishing. Choose three to practise with.
Check your result
You can explain why each product is in your routine without referring to its price.
A common mistake
Buying several products for the same job before knowing the finish you prefer.
