Your beginners makeup kit!

Getting started with makeup can be daunting and confusing. I wrote this post just to give a little more insight into the basics of makeup. 

1. Every building needs a great foundation

The very first thing you need to start your makeup kit is a good foundation. If it's your first foundation then you don't really need a very expensive one. A good drugstore foundation is the Maybelline Fit Me. 

This foundation has a very nice finish without being too heavy on your skin. I use it in Classic Ivory and it's perfect for everyday makeup.

2. Make those eyes POP

Mascara is also a key essential in any beginners makeup kit. Just get yourself a simple eyelash curler and off you go. One of my favourites is Maybelline's Collosal Volume Express. 

This is very easy to apply and makes your eyelashes look so much longer an thicker. I love this mascara.

3. Conceal, don't feel

I have managed to make staying up late watching tv shows a habit and that means that every morning I have DARK circles under my eyes. Concealer also got me through that awkward phase of breaking out for no apparent reason. 

This is the particular one I'm using at the moment. Another one that's also in my rotation is the Rimmel Wake Me Up concealer.

4. In the nude

Lip colours are abundant. One shade that everyone should have is the easy breezy nude lip colour. Use this if you want to make your eyes stand out more, pairing it with liquid liner and a good mascara. 

This particular one is Maybelline's Rose Glimmer. There are many other nude colours from different brands also.
