There are so many products, tools, and styles out there that it can be hard to know where to begin with makeup. For starters, it’s best to keep things easy and gather only the most important items so that your vanity doesn’t get too crowded.
A well-thought-out makeup kit for beginners should include easy-to-use items that can be used to create both natural looks for everyday life and a little more dramatic looks for special events. Here is a full guide on how to put together your first makeup kit that is good for beginners.
A primer makes your skin smooth and helps your makeup last longer. If you’re just starting out, you don’t need anything fancy. All you need is a light primer that helps with your main worry, like oil control, dryness, or redness.
Evens out your skin tone with foundation, but BB or CC creams are easier for many people to use for the first time. They cover lightly, feel more natural, and mix quickly with your fingers or a sponge. Pick a color that is as close as possible to the color of your skin.
This is the secret tool you need to get rid of dark circles, spots, and redness. Even if you’re not wearing much makeup, a thick concealer that you can blend in can make you look more awake and put together right away.
Powder keeps your makeup in place and stops it from shining. Powders that are pressed are often better for beginners than free ones because they are easier to use and make less of a mess.
Blush makes your face look alive right away. Pick a rose or pink color that goes well with your skin tone. While powder blush is simple to use, cream blush can make you look shiny and new.
Once you know how to do the basics, bronzer can add warmth and a little shape, and highlighter can bring out features like your cheeks and nose bridge. At first, these aren’t necessary, but they’re fun to have as you feel more confident.
It can be scary to use eyeshadow, but a small neutral palette with a mix of matte and shimmer shades is easy to wear every day. For now, stay with browns, beige, and soft golds.
The eyes look more defined when you use eyeliner. Pencil liners may be easier for beginners to control, but once you’re ready to try something new, liquid and gel liners give you a sharper look.
Do not forget to wear mascara. It quickly makes the eyes look longer, fuller, and wider. For almost any look, a simple black or brown makeup will do.
Clear brows make the face look beautiful. Pick a brow pencil or colored gel that is close to the color of your real brows. For a realistic look, lightly fill in any blank spots.
Lips that are soft and well-hydrated look great with any lip color. To keep your skin from getting dry and flaky, keep a nourishing balm in your makeup kit.
Any eye makeup will look great with a neutral or sheer gloss that you can wear every day. Find a color that is close to the color of your lips.
You can add one bright color, like red, berry, or pink, once you’re used to neutral shades. A bold lip can quickly make you look better for events and nights out.
Gloss makes things look shiny and new. It looks natural when worn by itself, or you can put it on top of lipstick to make it stand out.
When you use good tools, the process goes more smoothly and accurately. To start, you should have a makeup brush or sponge, a blush brush, an eyeshadow blending brush, and a flat eyeshadow brush. You can also mix foundation and concealer together perfectly with a beauty sponge.
You don’t have to use this tool, but curling and lifting your eyelashes before makeup can make a big difference.
Taking off your makeup the right way is just as important as putting it on. Never leave home without a cleansing balm, micellar water, or a light makeup remover. These will keep your skin clean and healthy.
Putting together a makeup kit for the first time doesn’t have to be hard or cost a lot of money. A few well-chosen basics will give you everything you need to try new things, get better, and find your own style. Get more of the things you love as you learn more about them. Always remember that makeup is about having fun and being yourself, so have fun with it!
