Learn how to know the right makeup products to buy as a beginner in this post. We share only the essentials needed as a beginner.

If you are just starting to learn how to apply makeup and you’ve watched countless youtube videos of different makeup artists, it can be quite difficult to decide what makeup products are the most essential for a beginner.

As a beginner, it’s easy to have the impression that you need to get so many makeup products to achieve the looks you watch in those videos, but this assumption isn’t necessarily true.

You just need the most important make-up products, which will be shared in this article to give you a guideline and help you in purchasing what is needed.

Essential makeup products every beginner needs

Moisturizer and primer

Beautiful makeup begins with good skincare. It is vital to prepare your skin by applying a light moisturizer and primer to create a smooth canvas for your makeup. Primer will also ensure the makeup lasts longer so check out different brands available to find the one that works for you.

Concealer and foundation

Beginners can avoid having cakey looking foundation by pairing a concealer and foundation. This is a very important makeup product to have as a beginner because combining both will help even out your skin tone and no one will be able to tell where your skin begins and ends. Finally, ensure that you have a foundation brush to apply the foundation and concealer.

Eyebrow pencil or pomade.

Depending on what is most comfortable for you to use, you can purchase a brow pencil or brow pomade. Brow pomade is easier to apply and it usually comes with an angled brush to make the application easier, but if you are more comfortable with using a brown eyebrow pencil then you can go with that. Just note that your eyebrows are the most important part of applying makeup so these products are important to make up your brows.

Eyeliner and mascara

When it comes to eyemakeup, as a beginner,  it is vital to have eyeliner and mascara. There is the liquid based or pen based eyeliner, there are also different types of mascaras. Having these items will help you avoid getting false lashes, so you can still enhance your lashes to look just as good. Go to a good makeup store and find one that works for you.

Nude and red lipstick

These are the most important colors of lipstick that every beginner should have. Red is for those fierce moments and nude is for when you want to keep it simple. Both can literally cover all your lifestyle and truly no makeup kit is complete without them.

Brushes and a beauty blender

To effectively apply your makeup, it is important to have the right tools. There are different makeup companies that literally make sets of the most important brushes to have, so you can explore and find the one that works for you.

Usually the important brushes are: the powder brush, foundation brush, eyeshadow brush, angled brush, blush brush, spooly, and beauty blender.

Blush and highlighter

A blush and highlighter is something beginners should have. They give a subtle glow and add healthy colour to your skin. Please work with your shade of skin when purchasing.

Eyeshadow palette

Your eyeshadow game can’t be complete without an eyeshadow palette. Depending on the type of colours you would like to try, select a palate suited for that purpose. Beginners are usually advised to start with a mainly nude eyeshadown palette.

Wipes and Q-tips

Wipes and Q-tips will help in clearing out your mistakes and wipes can also be used to remove makeup.
