Hey MakeupTalk peeps!
I have a question for you- what do you consider to be your beauty base zero? What products do you feel you need to have applied in order to be presentable (and especially before you apply any more intricate makeup)?
I think the phrase 'beauty base zero' has become somewhat of a fixture in the makeup circles, though it started out in The Hunger Games series.
For me, my beauty base zero is basically what I feel I need to look presentable, and am typically not confident at all and kind of flighty and repressive of my self when I'm out and about without my beauty base zero.
For me, this requires:
1. Combed hair
2. Cleaned, moisturized skin, as well as brushed teeth.
3. Skintone evened out by a redness reducing foundation (BareMinerals BareSkin)
4. Blemishes concealed (NARS Radiant Creamy concealer)
5. Brows defined (Anastasia Dipbrow Pommade)
6. Lashes/eyes defined by either some mascara or eyeliner- doesn't have to be both.
Then I usually feel presentable enough to actually face other people without hiding behind my hair. Of course other things definitely help, like color cosmetics, but if I'm going to only have a small amuont of time to look presentable, I have to do those 6 things first.
How about you?
