Makeup Kit Essentials for Beginners

Exploring the world of makeup is enjoyable, but if you're just starting, navigating hundreds of options can take time. Surely you have a lot of questions, such as how to apply four different foundation shades, or are two different types of blushers essential? The first step in creating a flawless makeup look is assembling a beauty kit to begin your journey. Here is a list of the top 10 beginner-friendly cosmetics and makeup items you absolutely should have!

1. A facial primer

• Face primers are a beauty essential that helps you lay down a seamless, even base to put on your makeup quickly. Additionally, makeup primers lengthen the wear of your face and guarantee that the various cosmetics you use on top do not break, smear, or vanish throughout the rest of your day. Multiple primers are available for you to pick between according to your skin type and tone, ranging from dewy primers that give your skin a normal and pure look to color-correcting primers that reduce redness.

2. Concealer

• Use a concealer to easily remove these bothersome dark spots on days when you don't get enough sleep and need to cover your blemishes and under-eye circles. To apply concealer properly, choose a light (preferably liquid) formula that doesn't feel sticky or oily on your skin and get a tone like your natural skin tone, don’t aim for darker or lighter. And if you don’t know how to apply concealer, check out how to apply concealer here.

3. Foundation

• Now that your concealer and primer are set, it's time to apply foundation to achieve perfect and even skin. Pick a foundation with moderate to buildable consistency that you can use for a natural, daily look and a full-coverage appearance as a novice. If you've never used this essential cosmetic product before, choose a shade that matches your skin tone, apply it to your face without getting it near or under your eyes, and then blend it with a foundation brush or a beauty blender until it looks natural.

4. Mascara

• Mascara is undoubtedly one of the critical components of an essential makeup kit for beginners. The most effective and affordable makeup item you'll purchase is mascara. Regarding how well it matches your skin color, thickness, etc., you should not worry, there are plenty of options to fit everyone’s skin. Without mascara, every eye makeup look is lacking unless you have added eyelashes.

5. Eyebrow Pencil

• An eyebrow pencil is yet another necessity for cosmetics. Make sure to purchase a decent eyebrow pencil if you want to make your eyebrows pop out more. Eyebrow pencils include a brush on one end and an end that suits the color of your eyebrow hair. Some eyebrow pencils don't come with a brush, but I suggest purchasing one that does.

6. Setting Spray

• For any newbie, a decent setting spray is a necessity. Setting spray performs just what it says on the bottle, but its major function is setting your makeup so it won't smudge. It works similarly to finishing powder in that it prolongs the wear of your makeup and guards against smearing. For a fresh appearance and sensation on your face, spray it a few times throughout the day.

7. Bronzer

• The not-so-important item to include in a beginner's beauty regimen is bronzer. Your face will appear warmer and occasionally tanned thanks to bronzer. When the sunlight isn't out as often, it's excellent to give yourself a nice tanned spark throughout the wintertime.

8. Blusher

• Blushes, another essential beauty item, are crucial for bringing tone out to your face. Your face may appear dull and lifeless once your base makeup has been applied. Applying a blusher to your cheeks will make your skin look flushed and more attractive.

9. Eyeliner

• We know that getting a dramatic winged eyeliner style is difficult, but for cosmetic beginners, learning how to draw eyeliner to your lash line can be really helpful.

10. Lipstick

• For newbies, selecting the ideal lipstick style, color, and consistency might be challenging because so many types of lipstick are available. We advise including two lip makeup items in your makeup bag: a lovely liquid lipgloss for special occasions and a creamy matte lipstick for regular wear.

The top ten makeup items are now organized in your makeup kit, but you still need to add a few more tools to use on your face. A Beauty Blender and some face brushes are essential for perfect facial makeup. You're prepared to advance your makeup application with these simple suggestions, the appropriate supplies, and some practice. The two most important things are finding the appearance that makes you feel the most secure about yourself and using your creativity to express yourself.
