Buy a makeup bag!
Yes, that’s the most essential part of starting your journey. Eventually you can shift to makeup kits that are preassembled (like the ones made by Nyx, M.A.C and Urban Decay), but first you have to start block by block and brick by brick.
You should invest in a sturdy makeup bag that will be able to hold most of your stuff. A medium sized makeup bag works the best and it should be able to fit in all your items.
For beginners:
Even if you are a newbie, we won’t spare you. For starters, you need to have these in your bag:
- Mascara
- BB cream
- A cheek and lip stain
- Eyeliner
- Lip balm
- Tweezers
- Makeup-remover wipes
These are the bare bone necessities and you need to have these in your bag if you want to build a nice professional kit in some time.
For Intermediates:
You guys know a little about makeup, but you are still far away from being an expert. However, knowing your prowess, we would advise you to definitely have these in your kit:
- Eyelash curler
- Concealer
- Liquid foundation & Primer (they go hand in hand!)
- A bold lipstick
- Lip liner
- A cream and powder blush
- Liquid eyeliner
- An eye-shadow palette
- Hydrating mist
- Foundation brush
- Eye-shadow brush
- Double-sided contour and blush brush
- Eye-makeup remover (This is very essential and you need to have this if you want to ensure that you do not end up spoiling your skin or eyes with too much makeup)
