If you are someone who never was into makeup before and never knew how in the world this thing works, you are at the right place. It can be overwhelming to find so many makeup products and recommendations on the market or the internet. One can never tell who to listen to and what to buy. Every other influencer on social media claims their products to be the best and must-buy, but how can a beginner like you make use of those high-end products? You need a lot of practice before you reach that stage. Makeup is something you can’t learn overnight. Doing makeup isn’t the same as applying lipstick or mascara; it is much more than that, starting from the primer base to highlighting. However, makeup can give you a flawless look and help you get glamor-ready for the party or event you are looking forward to. Don’t worry if you don’t know where to start and how to get the right makeup products for yourself; we have a solution written down for you.
What Are The Makeup Products I Must Buy To Have In My Makeup Kit?
Buying makeup can be challenging if you are someone new to it. With so many brands, products, and formulas to choose from, finding the right product for your beginner’s makeup collection definitely takes work. To help you and get you started, we are here to provide you with a list of some of the products, like primer, foundation, concealer, etc., that are a must-buy and should be included in your makeup kit, irrespective of the level you are on. Read on to know more about the products in detail:
Primer
First things first, it’s always advisable to start with a primer. When buying yourself makeup, this should be your first product. Now, what does a primer do? So primers are meant to give your skin a baseline to look even and smoother. Primer allows other products like foundation, concealer, or eyeshadow to blend in with your skin perfectly and last longer throughout the day. It helps make your makeup look flawless and protects your skin from the damaging effects of makeup. Now a wide range of primers offers different benefits like hydrating your skin, pore blurring, brightening, etc. Primers are meant to do wonders for your skin. Mostly I have seen makeup beginners avoid using primers, which isn’t healthy for your skin. Therefore make sure you add one to your collection without any delays.
Foundation
Second essential makeup product for your makeup kit. Any makeup kit is incomplete without foundation. It is actually where the makeup process begins. Now finding the proper foundation is a challenging task. It takes a lot of work to look for the right shade for your skin tone. You will have to test out different products and shades in order to find the correct color for your complexion. There are many alternatives for foundation, like CC Cream, Tinted Moisturizer, etc. Suppose you are to apply makeup every day on your way out. In that case, it’s advisable not to use foundation regularly and instead goes for alternatives. You can also try buying a foundation with medium coverage to be used anywhere. Foundation is the must-have product in your makeup kit, so you better not miss it.
Concealer
Concealers are a great product for giving your skin a more flawless look hiding all the discoloration, fine lines, age spots, acne, and dark circles, and providing high coverage. Now there are two different concealers: face concealer and eye concealer. If you have flawless skin and there aren’t many blemishes on your face, you can avoid face concealer and get an eye concealer to hide the bags under your eyes. Also, if you are lucky enough not to have dark circles, you can skip this product and move on to the next one.
Blush
Now, after giving your face a foundation base, we need something to add some color to your face, and that we can do only with the help of a blush. After applying all the base makeup products and blending them well, your face will look dull and flat. A blush on your face will give your cheeks a good color and add a natural look flush to your skin and face. It will enhance your makeup look and give your face a natural finish.
Eyeshadow Palette
You must be tempted by washing those beginner makeup youtube videos to try that stunning eye-makeup look. I get it, but for that, you need a neutral eyeshadow palette that you can use for your day and night looks. Being a beginner, getting a shimmery eyeshadow colored palette and instead getting a neutral eyeshadow can help you create more natural and glamorous makeup looks.
Eyeliner
Eyeliner is another must-have product to be included in your makeup collection. It can give your eyes a finer look. Eyeliners come in two different types one is a pencil, and the other is liquid. Buying which one depends on how perfectly you can use it. Many people have a better hold on using pencil eyeliners than liquid ones. However, applying eyeliner isn’t as easy as you think. You might need to practice a lot until you create that right-winged eyeliner fit for your eyes. So test your options and then see which type suits you the best.
Mascara
As a beginner, I wouldn’t recommend putting fake eyelashes on your eyes. It can be a little tricky and might mess up your entire makeup look if done wrong. To give you the best alternative, we suggest you buy good quality mascara to give thickness, length, and volume to your lashes. Applying mascara requires minimal effort and, therefore, can be applied with just two coats, and you are done. It’s the best option if you are to do a makeup look every day.
Lipsticks
No makeup kit is complete without lipsticks. What would a makeup look be without a glossy bold lip color that completely transforms your entire look into something phenomenal? Buying lipsticks can be challenging since they come in a wide range of colors and formulas. Some lipsticks come in matt, some in gloss, some in liquid, etc. Then comes the different shades of lipsticks which adds more to the confusion about which one must suit your face. I suggest you test different colors and then figure out which colors or shades fit best with your look. It is advised that you always buy a shade a little darker than your lip color to create a perfect blend of makeup.
Conclusion
There is still a long list of makeup products you should consider if you want to try different makeup looks every day, like a highlighter, bronzer, setting spray, eyelash curler, lip liner, brow pencil, gel, etc. But since you are a beginner, we don’t want you to waste your money buying every makeup product out there and then later end up regretting it. It’s advisable that first, you learn and practice makeup every day; once you excel at it and are good at it, you are good to go. Don’t be disheartened if you can’t do it right the first time; keep practicing, and you will learn it. Goodluck
