Having the right tools in your makeup kit can make all the difference in achieving your desired look. Here are the essential items every beginner should have.
A good primer creates a smooth canvas for your makeup and helps it last longer. Choose one that suits your skin type and concerns, such as an oil-control primer for oily skin.
A good foundation evens out your skin tone and provides a natural-looking base. Choose one that matches your skin tone, and consider trying different formulas, such as liquid, powder, or stick.
A good concealer can hide dark circles, blemishes, and other imperfections. Choose one that matches your skin tone, and apply it under your eyes, on your T-zone, and on any blemishes.
A good powder helps set your makeup in place, controls oil, and minimizes shine. Choose one that matches your skin tone, and consider trying different formulas, such as loose or pressed powder.
A good blush can add a pop of color and a healthy glow to your cheeks. Choose a shade that complements your skin tone, and apply it to the apples of your cheeks for a natural-looking flush.
A good lipstick or lip gloss can complete your makeup look and add a pop of color to your lips. Choose a shade that complements your skin tone and personal style, and consider trying different formulas, such as matte or glossy.
