My challenge is with brushes... I don't know how to identify them. #waiting patiently for my lecturer.

For brushes to start with

For the face
You need foundation brush
Concealer brush
Contour / blush brush
powder brush
also a buffing brush.

for the eye brows
You will need
a spoolie
Angled liner brush

These are just the basics

Also with brushes, it is better to invest in a very good one that will last you years and years and does not shed.
Brands such as Mac, real techniques, so ecco, elf etc and many more are very good and do not shed.

I believe you mean COLOR CORRECTORS. Color correctors are not face primers, they are correctors for scars, under eye redness, injuries etc. They come in shades of orange, green etc.. The colors to be used depends on the color of what you want to correct. For instance, to correct redness from injuries, you use a green color corrector to cancel out.. This is way beyond the scope of our discussion tho..

When talking about brushes, I would always say, asides the basic angled brush for eyebrows etc, different brushes are adapted by different people/users for different purposes

Using this brush set as a case study..

the first brush is an angled Brush for filling in and applying concealer to your brows for definition.. I also double this angled brush as a concealer brush to apply concealer to tiny spots.

The next two are Eyeshadow brushes for applying eye shadows to your eyelid

Next is the Pencil brush for precision like nose highlight, tear-duct eyeshadow application, lower lash line eyeshadow application etc

Next is the big Slanted Angled brush, while most people use this for face contur, others use this for blush application

Next is the powder brush for powder application

Next is the stippling brush mostly used for foundation application

Next is the Foundation brush which is my favorite for cream to powder foundation application

Next is the Lip brush for lipstick application

Next is the Eyeshadow blending brush/crease brush

Next is the Flat eyeshadow brush for Upper eyelid eyeshadow application

Next is the Eyeliner brush for apply liquid , gel and all types of eyeliners

The Next Must have is a FACE PRIMER.. this serves as a base for your makeup i.e foundation etc. it allows makeup last longer and a better appearance..

Do you know you can mix your face primer with your foundation (for a light/natural coverage) this gives a smoother, long lasting and non 'cakey' application. (P.S: Give this a try)

Thanks so much for this thread...can u suggest 1 or 2 face primer that works really good? again, does primer actually control oil?

Primers act as a barrier between your skin and makeup.
They are like a base for your makeup.
They reduce your pores and your makeup appears very smooth.

there are so many primers in the market and most of the very good ones are so expensive.
Maybelline pore reducer has got very high reviews and does not break your bank. And they cost under £10 pounds you can get them from boots or super drugs, wilko etc.

From my experience as a Makeup Artist, primer doesn't control sweat.

You will need a light blotting powder to control your facial sweat, if you sweat a lot on your face. This will help your makeup last longer. This should be applied with a foam pad not and not with a brush.

Sweat can be controlled by applying makeup in a cool environment..

High fashion makeup artists have been known to make use of antiperspirant especially for stage performance.. Tho I honestly can't say how safe this is.

The NEXT makeup must have is.. EYESHADOW.

Eyeshadows come in different forms and textures, the most common ones are : Matte, Sheer and Shimmery Eyeshadows.

Matte Eyeshadows are shadows without shine and are good for defining the crease and creating a base for shimmery Eyeshadows..

Shimmery Eyeshadows are usually pigmented, has lots of shine and are good for the upper eyelid, tearduct etc..

This cut-crease Makeup was created by me.. And is a perfect example of the different applications of shimmery and matte Eyeshadows.. While the shimmery shadows was used for the main eye color(the lid), the matte shadows were used for the crease and also as a transition color..

For details on how this look was achieved, check out my blog www.touchofcee.com

Eye liner comes in different forms.
Pen liner, gel liner and liquid liner.

Liquid liner are the hardest to apply.

It takes practice to apply a liquid liner;
Don't tighten your hold on it, don't shake your hand, pull your skin and swipe it gently. When applying it on myself I prefer standing in front of a mirror - not holding a mirror so my hands don't shake and so I can pull my skin.


I would advice you get the pen liner. Its easier to use and good for stability.
Apply like this; close your eyes, pull the skin taut(ie just above the end of your eye and below the end of your brows).
Start close to the inner eye, and liner outwards.
Keep it close to your lash line.


I'll recommend sleek dip it for a liquid liner, its 1200naira.
For a pen liner, MAC Eye Kohl Smolder Eye Liner or zaron khol kajal (
800 naira)

Good eyeliner.. If you want LIQUID one, Zaron is a good brand and I recommend this cos the applicator lasts long.. 1500 or less

If you want a gel eyeliner then, Maybelline or Zaron are both good brands. 1500 or less.

To apply an eyeliner precisely, I recommend light short strokes (as if you are shading. Don't try to draw). Also let the tip process from your lower lash line and align with the end of your brows.. I will post a pic tutorial of this pretty soon. So pls stay tuned to this thread.

Milani powder sells for about 1500 and Maybelline powder sells for 2k. They are both really good.
For brows, Brown pencils (deep brown) wch you can always blend/fade to suit your eyebrow color..
Foundation makes your face look flawless but then you need a good primer for the foundation to last all day.. Hope I answered your questions?
