4 Must Products for a Makeup Starter Kit

When building your first makeup kit, you want to select products that are easy to use while giving you plenty of flexibility.

With just four makeup items in your starter kit, you can create simple daily looks or dress up your makeup for evenings out.

1.Tinted Moisturizer/BB Cream

These products make an ideal base because they provide lightweight coverage while hydrating your skin. Both tinted moisturizers and BB (blemish balm) creams even out your complexion and cover minor imperfections.

They come in a variety of shades to suit different skin tones. Start with a squeeze of product all over your face and blend it evenly with a sponge or fingertips.

For daily casual wear, this one-step application may be sufficient.

2.Concealer

While a tinted moisturizer evens skin tone, concealer hides blemishes and dark circles more opaquely.

Dab concealer directly onto spots or under-eye areas needing more coverage using the wand or doe-foot applicator.

Blend the edges well so they don't look obvious. Concealer allows you to customize coverage to problem areas while letting the rest of your skin show through the sheer moisturizer base.

3.Mascara

Mascara instantly brightens the eyes and brings attention to one of the most expressive facial features. A swipe or two along your upper and lower lashes creates a definition.

Waterproof mascara helps hold a curl and prevent streaks. But non-waterproof tubes tend to layer best for everyday use without flaking or clumping. Thin out the mascara wand against the tube rim before applying.

4.Lip Color

The easiest way to finish off your starter makeup kit is by adding colour with lipstick or tinted balm. Neutral, pink, and rose shades are universally flattering. They enhance lips subtly while letting the rest of your makeup show through.

Matte lipsticks offer intense opacity. But balms and creams feel more moisturizing over dry lips. You can always intensify the colour by applying two light coats rather than one thick coat.

Starting with a few versatile makeup products allows you to create a range of flattering looks. You'll gradually build skills by following the simple steps outlined for applying tinted moisturizer, concealer, mascara, and lip colour.

Have fun practising techniques, and don't worry about perfection. As your collection expands, you can continue enhancing your best features for any occasion. 

But for now, these four items form an ideal basic starter kit!

FAQs

Q. Do I need to use all four products each time I put on makeup?

Ans. No, you can use one, two or three products simultaneously. A tinted moisturizer alone evens out skin tone beautifully. You can customize coverage by adding concealer to problem areas or mascara to define eyes.

Q. How do I choose the right shades for my skin tone?

Ans. Test shades against the inside of your wrist to determine undertones. Warm skin has yellow/peach tones, while cool skin runs more pink/red. Shop testers in person or order a few options online to compare.

Q. Where can I learn the correct techniques for applying makeup?

Ans. Check makeup brand websites that offer step-by-step instructions and tutorial videos tailored to their specific products. Practice often using different amounts of products and tools.
