Can’t find the right foundation? Unsure what’s the best concealer to cover those stubborn acne scars? Wondering how the makeup gurus are keeping their beats on all day? It can be intimidating as a makeup newbie to find what products you need to have a well-rounded makeup kit. Scrolling through Tik Tok and Youtube can become overwhelming when you don’t know where to start.
When beginning to curate your beauty collection, you should keep a few things in mind– your skin type, your budget, and the type of looks you want to go for. Do you want a natural glow or a full-face glam? Do you prefer investing in your products, or are you seeking more affordable options? If you have an oily skin type, you may want to avoid oil-based products. Whereas if you have dryer skin, that may be a product you opt for.
From start to finish, here we’ll cover beginner-friendly staples for every product category. Whether you’re a novice to makeup, just want to add to your collection of essential tools, or get back to the basics, this guide is for you.
