Makeup brushes and accessories for the CAP Aesthetics
To achieve a complete makeup look for the complexion, eyes, and lips, it is necessary to have the right equipment. Let's start with brushes…
Lip brush
Thin and dense, it allows for opaque and even application of makeup on the lips. The lip brush is particularly suitable for lipstick.
Eye brushes
Have brushes of different sizes and for different uses. Namely, a flat brush for applying base color, one or more shader brushes for applying eyeshadow or creating gradients, a blending brush, and a fine brush for applying eyeliner.
Also essential is the fan brush to sweep away powder residue on the face after eye makeup.
Finally, a simple spoolie brush allows you to naturally brush and tame lashes and brows.
Brushes and accessories for the complexion
For applying primer, concealer, and foundation, the use of a makeup sponge, with or without latex, is necessary.
For loose powder used as a finishing touch, have a powder brush and a powder puff.
Finally, for applying blush and contouring the face, a blush brush, angled or not, is essential.
Economical and complete, you can also choose to adopt a professional brush kit including the essential brushes.
Makeup products for CAP Aesthetics
Makeup products for the complexion
Before applying makeup, use a neutral makeup primer suitable for all skin tones and types. It provides an even complexion and better makeup hold.
To correct complexion imperfections, depending on the flaw, it is necessary to have a corrector palette, or failing that, a light and a dark corrector.
For foundation, plan for 3 shades: light, medium, and dark, in both liquid and compact textures.
To suit all skin types, loose powder will be translucent.
Finally, don't forget blushes: one rosy and one apricot.
Eye makeup products
Eye makeup is what requires the most material.
For eyelid makeup, it is necessary to have one or more eyeshadow palettes, with harmonies adapting to the individual.
Eyeliner pencils and eyeliner are also essential.
For lash makeup, it is first necessary to have mascaras in several colors.
For more elaborate makeup, have false eyelashes, in strips and individual clusters. Don't forget to include false eyelash glue!
Finally, plan for an eyebrow pencil for a complete makeup look.
Lip makeup products
For lip makeup, you need to provide lip pencils in various colors, as well as a lipstick palette or several individual lipsticks.
Finally, have some rhinestones, shimmering powder, pigments, or glitter useful for evening or specific makeups…
Of course, this list is not exhaustive and only provides you with the minimum products and materials needed for a CAP in aesthetics. When making your purchases, bring the list of materials requested by your institution to avoid any mistakes!
