Make-Up Starter Kit.

Hi Guys, it’s Autumn. 

This post is inspired by Louise 'sprinkle of glitters', -your make-up starter kit- video. As I thought it would be a great thing to write about especially as it’s so close to Christmas it might give a few of you some ideas for Christmas presents for any ‘make-up newbies’.

These products are all available in the Drugstores on the high-street, i.e. Boots and Superdug.

They are relatively cheap and are prefect for everyday usage. I didn't pick anything to fancy or high end, as when you are just starting out with Make-up you tend to experiment until you find products or techniques that are suited to you personally.

Make-up is supposed to be fun and something to enjoy so please don’t take it to seriously!!

The first few products I would recommend to a make-up newbie are a simple foundation, concealer and powder. These three items are the biases to every make-up look. They aren’t too heavy duty on the face, but they cover enough to make a difference.

The foundation is a light coverage and is easily buildable, and covers just about most blemishes you may have.

The concealer is defiantly one of the best concealer I have ever tried!  Would recommend it to anyone, whether they are just starting out in the world of make-up or an advanced beauty professional. It covers perfectly, and is the perfect colour match for most skin tones.

And lastly the powder, this powder has the perfect light coverage. A small amount does just enough to set everything in place without making you look ‘fluffy’.

The second section to my make-up starter kit is the eyes. In my opinion the eyes are the most important part to every look, so what you choose to apply to your eyes has a big impact. The eyes are the best part to experiment with, all the colours, textures, styles. It can completely transform any outfit, which is why you must pick carefully, when deciding

The mascara I’ve picked to go into this the make-up starter kit is amazing for lengthening. It doesn’t clump and doesn’t make your eyes to dark; I just give a subtle definition to your lashes.

Like I’ve said experimenting with the eyes is the best part, this is mainly down to the eye-shadow. The palette I have chosen is a well-used pallet of mine, it is actually one of my first pallets I owned, and is a dupe for the naked pallet from ‘urban decay’ it contains 12 gorgeous nude’ish colours perfect for any occasion.

Now, on to eye-liner, I was originally going to put in a liquid eye liner into this starter kit, but I then realised how hard it is to actually apply liquid liner. So I went for a simple black pencil liner, this one in particular is good for straight black lines as well as smudging to give a bit of a messy/Smokey look. This is both easy to use and just as effective.

Finally, on to the lips. Some of the colours you can now buy are unbelievable. However if you are just starting out with make-up I would suggest sticking to simple colours, like pinks, nudes and light reds. Nothing to extravagant or over the top. And I guess the same goes for the lip-glosses as well. I’m not going to go into too much detail about each item as they a pretty self-explanatory, as far as lipsticks and lip glosses go.
