first makeup kit

Hello lovelies

when you first start wearing makeup it can be a rather daunting thing. so many different brands and colours that it can sometimes put you off of makeup all together. I have put together some makeup items that I feel would be essential for a young girl starting her long makeup journey.

first note- always make sure you are wearing makeup for the right reasons, make sure you are doing it for yourself, and not to impress others xxx

I popped into town and went to the drugstore and found a perfect selection of makeup for people just starting out.

foundation

Foundation can be pretty expensive and hard to choose in a drug store. From my own personal experience of starting out makeup I chose the Rimmel lasting finish foundation. It gives full coverage, without any cakeyness. I found this in my superdrug for £7.99, and for the price it is bloody amazing. Remember before rushing in to buying a foundation always colour match to your skin tone. For the foundation I like to use my Real techniques miracle complexion sponge. Although it is £5.99, it helps give an even coverage of makeup, giving the best result for your foundation.

powder

For any foundation it is vital to set it with powder, without the powder the foundation wont last and will fall off during the day. I have used many drugstore powders and I have found the Makeup revolution pressed powder to be the best, and it is also only £2!!. It also comes in a wide variety of colours for many skin tones. To apply I suggest the Studio brushes.

Bronzer

For the bronzer I use the same brand as the powder. you have to be careful when purchasing bronzer for cheap as sometimes it can be very dark and have a orange pigment. For drugstore the best bronzer I found was the Makeup Revolution Bronzer Matte Light Shimmer. This bronzer is perfect for adding a cool tone to your face, especially in the winter. It is also only £2 and is optional, but I do like to warm up my face for the tanned effect.

Mascara

One of my all time favourite mascaras is the mayballine lash sensational. This mascara gives a fuller eyelash look.

Eyeshadow

Eyeshadow is very hard to get a grasp on, so you may want to use one colour over the whole lid. I chose the Makeup revolution redemption palette. I chose this palette because of the matte colours, which would be perfect for school. It also comes with a shimmer shade for the inner corner of the eye.It costs £4 and comes with a wide array of colours.

If any of you want me to complete a makeup tutorial of any of these products, don't hesitate to leave a comment on my Instagram or under this post.
