Beginner to Make-up Kit #1 | The Basics ♥

Hello everyone,
Today I'll be posting the basics/essentials for a beginner with Make-up.
Just do you know, the reason I'm starting with the basics and using the #1 in the title, is because every week I'll add a little more to the beginner collection as you progress. After the kit is complete, the title will be changed to something new, e.g 'Experimenting with glitter' or something like that. Onto the kit & essentials! Links, why you'll need it, photo's, and totals will be included!

  • A small concealer stick

Instead of starting of with a foundation,powder,concealer,highlighter,toner and a bunch of face based products, you can simply start of with a little concealer stick. The stick is easier to apply for beginners and you can just do the basics with a concealer, and you don't need much else really!

  • A light blusher


Next, you don't exactly really need this, but most people do and it adds some color to your face so you don't look like a zombie after using concealer! I recommend a light powder one, you don't want to cover your face in heavy liquid make-up for a starter. You just want something light to begin with.

  • A small eye shadow palette 


To get started with doing little things like smokey eyes or bold colors, you'll need to start off with a small eye shadow palette. I recommend something that has basic colors, with colors that range from a white, brown, grey, black. But of course the choice is yours.

  • Mascara


If you're going to actually complete the look, you won't forget mascara. It the item that actually makes the whole make-up look work in my opinion & many others agree. Mascaras vary in price, but for a beginner you won't need a major expensive one. You might want to upgrade as we get further into the collection.

  • A lipstick


When beginning, you're not going to focus on your eyes much, and if you do it's kind of basic and natural. This means it's okay to use a lipstick to add color. You can get a gloss, but I recommend a lipstick and then as we upgrade the kit, we'll add in a gloss.
