I wanted to
write something about a make-up starter kit, because I know how hard it was for
me to find the beauty items I really needed. Building a make-up collection is
quite hard when you don’t know where to start. I didn’t know what a foundation,
bronzer, highlighter etc. was until I watched a couple youtube videos and even
then I didn’t know whether I actually needed it. It was a strange world, but it
had always intrigued me. So, I started buying the first beauty items and slowly
but surely my collection grew. I still am not a make-up professional, but I
thought it might be interesting for you to read what I think is necessary in a
make-up stash.
A
high-coverage concealer
I can’t
live without a good concealer on spotty and dark days. Concealing imperfections
is always a good start of the day. I absolutely love my cheap Catrice
concealer, because the coverage is amazing and it even hides the most annoying,
red spots.
A long
lasting foundation
I don’t
know about you, but I want my foundation to stay on all day long. I hate it
when foundations get shiny and start fading during the day. The one I’ve always
loved using is a Essence foundation, it’s super smooth and so easy to apply.
Bronzer,
blusher and highlighter
These are
the three things I love to cheer up my face and create a healthy-looking
make-up look. A foundation can leave your skin very pale-looking and unnatural.
The eye basics
A good
mascara makes your eyes bigger and brighter so you instantly look better. I
don’t like spending too much money on mascara because my lashes are naturally
long and dark. I personally prefer a light nude-colored eye shadow look,
because it’s more natural and enhances the beauty of your eyes.
Lipstick
This is
something I love to wear, but if you’re not much of a lipstick-lover, you can
skip this step. The basic lip colors in my stash are: a really dark color, a
Parisian red, a nude lipstick and a peach lip color.
I hope this
was a bit helpful to you and don’t hesitate to let me know what your make-up
stash basics are!
