To find someone who doesn’t know what makeup is impossible in the present time. It is a daily need for most people and it has become one of the most successful global industries. Make-up is no longer just about looking better; it is more about boosting confidence and building personalities.

Manon Lama who is a makeup educator at KTM School of Makeup, Anamnagar, says, “Make-up has played a huge role in my life, both personally and professionally. It always helps me present myself better in public.”

There are numerous make-up brands available in the market today. With numbers of companies to select from, a confusion many make-up enthusiasts face- is selection of a good product. The quality of a product cannot be judged by a brand’s name or the price.

Lama explains, “Things like skin color, texture and type need to be taken under consideration while choosing a make-up product. You should also make sure your skin doesn’t react badly with the product. However, one cannot know what product suits you best without giving it a try first.” says Lama.

She emphasizes the importance of understanding one’s skin type. “Having that knowledge of what your skin requires helps you take care of your skin,” she says. Also, knowing the skin type helps with better make-up too.
