8 Most Important Makeup Products A Beginner Must Have
This post is for those who are just starting out in the huge world of makeup and have just got over the moisturizer-kajal-lip gloss phase, and want to explore more and get more stuff into their kitty. You would want a few more items in your kitty than the basic eyeliner and n*de lip gloss. So, here’s a complete check list Since you must have already tried hoards of lip glosses and kajal/kohl, not including those items.
1. Foundation | N 2,800 – N 20,000
So, you must have already tried and tested all the BB and CC creams in the market, and its time to pick a good foundation. If you want to go high-end, MAC Studio Fix and Mary Kay, Clinique Even Tone are always there, but through the way, there are really good foundations in budget brands like Bourjois Healthy Mix, Stay Matte, and Revlon. The whole trick with foundation is that you should be able to find a perfect match, and from there, its all easy, just like life.
2. Concealer | N1,500 – N 4,000
When your whole makeup is looking good, under eye circles shouldn’t act as a spoiler, invest in a good concealer to cover your minor imperfections. Invest in a good one because some concealers can make the under eye area ashy, which is not any better than dark circles.
Price varies depending on product.
3. Lipsticks | N 700 – N 2,520
Pick up a few lipsticks in different shades and finishes – bold red, neutral, peach, brown, regular wear in matte, creamy, satin, and frost finishes. Believe me, one lipstick is never enough! ?
4. Compact Powder | N1,500 – N 6,600
Every makeup kit is incomplete without a good compact. Compact powder sets up your whole makeup so that it stays longer.
5. Eyeliner | N 2,000
Again, like lipsticks, one eyeliner is not enough – you need to get liquid, felt tip, gel, and pencil form. A few coloured eyeliners would also be great.
6. Eyeshadow Pallete | N 1,640
Since you would want to experiment with a lot of different eye makeup looks, its wise to invest in an eyeshadow palette rather than spending money in collecting single eyeshadows. The most basic one is Coastal Scents eyeshadow palette which has some 88 eyeshadows in one palette and comes at a good price. You can opt for lesser or more shadows, its your choice.
7. Mascara | N 1,690
No makeup kit is complete without mascara, neither for beginners nor for professionals. A good mascara lengthens, curls, and opens up your eyes to give you an awakened look. This item should not be skipped at all.
8. Makeup Brushes | N 3,300
There are some awesome makeup brushes in high-end brands like MAC, but you should get a set of brushes, though Sigma and Real Techniques doesn’t come cheap, still, you can get makeup sets at much better pricing. You should get makeup brushes at least for your eye makeup, common you cannot blend in that well using hands.
