Before you play with any of the makeup items, moisturizer plays the key role in setting up the base for the makeup. In fact, moisturizer is one of the most important basic makeup essentials for beginners. To have a soothing layer of skin and a healthy glow, lather two drops of moisturizer on your entire face and neck. Moisturizer not only adds shine to your face, but also act as a skin caretaker.

It is extremely important to purchase various type of tools and brushes for the ideal makeup look. An eyelash curler helps to curl your lashes, making your eyes look big and bright. You also need a foundation brush, a beauty blender that helps even makeup, an eyeshadow brush and a concealer brush.

Primer can do wonders! Primer brightens your skin and adds instant radiance to your complexion. It also ensures that your makeup lasts all day. Most importantly, it helps to reduce the look of large pores and imperfections, giving you flawless makeup.

Using a makeup sponge or brush, apply foundation evenly all over your face and neck, and blend it till you get a natural looking layer of bright skin. You can find foundation in the form of a liquid or a stick, but I personally believe using a stick foundation is easier than spreading the liquid foundation.

As the name suggests, conceal means to hide. At times, foundation doesn’t hide facial pimples, moles, or unevenness. Well, concealer does the job and gives you a clear even skin tone. It can also be extremely helpful in hiding the dark circles under your eyes too.

Highlighter helps to reshape your cheekbones, and to make your nose look slim. Highlighter is generally two shades darker than your skin tone, which enhances the features of your face.

Compact powder gives you the ultimate matte texture on your face. It makes your face look neat and smooth like never before. It is applied after the liquid foundation and concealer which helps to blend the makeup quite effectively.

Blush is used to give a pinkish red color on the cheeks for a cherry effect, which makes your face look young and beautiful.

An eyebrow pencil or crayon refines the shape of your brows. It can also be used to turn a straight eyebrow into a curvy one, alleviating the use of threading and giving you the perfect look.

Eyeshadow palettes are a creative product that come in numerous colors. Eyeshadow can be done in a variety of ways so you can match it to your clothes and try new things every day.

Eyeliner helps to make your eyes look bold with a dark outline close to your eyelashes. The eyeliner trend has been growing for years. Try a cat eye for a simple sleek look.

Mascara is a must-have if you want your eyes to look stunning. Mascara helps to thicken your eyelashes, which reduces the need to put on fake ones.

A lip pencil is a great tool for your lips that helps you to fill in your lipstick. It gives you a refined shape for your lips, making them look natural. Starting from the center of the upper lip, in your cupid’s bow, draw through the lip line, and fill the color evenly all over the lips.

Lipstick saves a bad day! It's the most important element of your makeup kit. Alternatives such as lip gloss perform the same role as that of a lipstick. There is nothing better than having a collection of lipsticks in your makeup kit.

At the end of the day, you do not want your makeup to leave your skin looking dull. After a fancy party or an outing, you should remove your makeup as soon as it is over. Makeup wipes help you do this properly.
