Getting into makeup isn’t exactly a stroll in the park. If you’re a first-timer and are thinking of venturing into the world of cosmetics, things can turn messy and confusing with the vast amount of beauty products currently in the market.

If you’re dead set on conquering your love for cosmetics though, here are a few products you need to keep an eye out for.

1. Face Primer

Face Primers can work wonders on your skin. Not only does it make your face makeup last longer, it also gives your face a smooth texture, allowing you to apply your foundation better.

2. Foundation

There are different kinds of foundations that cater to different skin types, from normal to oily and even acne prone skin. To know which type suits you best, just drop by any make up counter and their friendly consultants will assist you in finding the perfect foundation that suits you best!

3. Concealer

Dark under eye circles are an issue for most people. Your best bet to combatting them? Concealer. As a tip: Apply your concealer in a triangular shape under your eye and lightly dab with your ring finger. Don’t forget that the skin around your eyes are super delicate, so don’t rub it in!

4. Eyebrow Kit

Don’t ever underestimate the power of your brows. They can either make or break your whole look. Nicely shaped brows give your face that instant lift. So a good brow palette is all you need. Just make sure to match your brow color with your hair color!

5. Eyelash Curler

Although there are dual purpose mascaras that lift and curl your lashes all together, eye lash curlers are still your best bet to achieving extra volume and curl for your lashes.

6. Mascara

Ah Mascara. They brighten up your eyes and does an awesome job of making you look less tired. A must have for night owls like me!

7. Blush

How to add that perfectly flushed pop of color to your cheeks? Blush of course! I suggest sticking to light pink shades as this hue flatters most skin tones.

8. Lipstick

Selecting the right lipstick shade for your skin tone can be a bit of a struggle since there tons of palettes to choose from. You can check out this article to help you decide on which lipstick shade is perfect for your skin tone!

9. Eye Shadow

Who says neutrals can’t be exciting? You actually get the most bang for your buck purchasing neutral colored eye shadows since you’ll use them all the time! So go for neutrals, they’re universally flattering!

10. Makeup Brush

Makeup brushes can be expensive depending on the brand you select. Be sure to invest in a good set of makeup brushes and that your set includes a blending brush. Splurging on a good blending brush helps you achieve that flawless look!
