Beginner’s Makeup Guide: 7 Must-Have Essentials For Your First Makeup Kit

Beginner’s Makeup Kit Essentials: Girls are familiar with makeup products from a very young age, owing to their mothers’ influence. They develop a keen interest in doing makeup, sneakily snatching their mothers’ products to try to reflect the ultimate glam makeup look and show it to their beloved parents. By the time they reach their teenage years, they try collating some makeup products just to call them their own. Some teenage girls can feel overwhelmed by the endless products and brands available in the market. They even seem to get confused with the beauty influencers showing multiple makeup products applied to their skin for a dreamy, flawless look. However, there is nothing to get confused about. There are certain makeup essentials that are must-haves in your first makeup kit to achieve the glam look of your dreams.

Girls do not always have to have all the makeup products that are showcased in the beauty market. With limited essential makeup products, they can get a natural yet polished look. Whether experimenting with makeup for the first time or building your first makeup kit, having the right tools and products will set you for success. Here’s a list of seven makeup essentials that will guide you to get your first makeup kit sorted as a beginner. 

Beginner’s Makeup Kit Checklist 

Foundation And Concealer

For beginners to create a flawless makeup look, girls need to have a perfect base. Invest in a foundation or BB cream that provides the right coverage and is easy to apply. You’ll also need a concealer to cover up the dark circles or blemishes. It is better to choose a creamy concealer that blends well.

Blush

Blush can help to brighten up the face instantly and make you look more awake. Powder blushes are great for beginners and opt for peachy or pink tones that suit most skin types. For a dewy look, try a cream blush that is easy to blend with the help of your fingers.

Kajal, Mascara And Eyeshadow

For beginners, it sometimes becomes difficult to put on eyeliner, so kalaj is a preferred option to get any eye look of your choice. Secondly, even if you don’t have kajal, mascara is a must-have. It helps open your eyes and make your lushes look fuller. Start with a basic black or brown mascara. For eyeshadow, choose a neutral palette with shades such as brown, beige, or light pink, as these colours are versatile and beginner-friendly.

Eyebrow Pencil

Eyebrows play an essential role in setting up your flawless face. A good eyebrow pencil or powder can make a big difference in framing the face. Choose a product that is one shade lighter than your natural brow colour for a softer look.

Lipstick Or Lip Gloss

A makeup kit is incomplete without the addition of a good lip product. Opt for lipstick or lip gloss shades with neutral shades that are perfect for everyday wear and add a brighter shade for special occasions. Shades like pink, peach, or soft red shades are great for beginners.

Brushes And Tools

As a beginner, you do not need to have a lot of fancy brushes. A few essentials like a foundation brush, blush brush and a blending brush for eyeshadow will do the trick. You can always expand your brush collection as and when you get comfortable with makeup.

Setting Spray

To keep your makeup in place all day, a setting spray or setting powder is essential. This will help your makeup to last longer and keep it from smudging.
