Now, I don't want to bore my friends (anybody who takes time to read this is already considered one) *wink* by posting a very long one.
So what I did is to separate it into two separate posts.
Now, here we are to discuss about what make ups are needed for people who are just starting their make up kits/collection. (Oh, no!)
Let's start with eyeshadows, I would recommend to get palettes instead of single shadows so that it can provide you more color variation but would highly suggest to get the warm/neutral shades first for everyday use but if you want to get vibrant colors one, there are a lot of palettes available as well.
I have the Make Up Revolution Iconic 3 - a dupe for the Naked 3. For its price, you just cant get this one pass. I got it from Estilo for AED25. How affordable is that! You can also get it from their website, Make Up Revolution for £4/AED22.94/$6.25 (12 shades).
Here are the swatches:
I know Iconic 3 is not a handy-dandy that you can easily put inside your make up kit/bag. I suggest to get smaller palettes like trios or quads. Wet n wild has great palettes at a very affordable price. Here's some that looks promising.

Now, let's proceed to my second most favorite type of make up. Can you guess? MASCARA! Now, I have a four mascaras that I am using in rotation. The mascara that I am using at the moment that is a drugstore one is the CoverGirl LashBlast Volume - this provides great volume. I use this if I want more volume and I am using a different mascara if I want length. I need to find a great mascara that provides both. If you guys know a mascara that provides both, please comment down below.
Let's go to one of the tricky ones to apply - Eyeliner. So for beginners, I suggest to get a pen type eyeliner with a felt tip. I have the Essence Superfine Eyeliner Pen. It's thin, easy to work and stays all day. For its price, this product is really impressive. The only downside for this is its not waterproof.
Before moving to the sexy lips, let's discuss what we can do with the brows.Ü
I am using two products that for me are important to have the eyebrows on point.
I have The Face Shop Brow Master waterproof eyebrow pencil in 02 Dark Brown and Essence Make Me Brow eyebrow gel mascara in 02 Browny Brows. I like the Brow Master because it has a spoolie brush on the other end so that's a plus and the brow mascara keeps the eyebrows stay put.
Remember that when you are doing your eyebrows, They are SISTERS not TWINS. So they do not need to be super identical.
Now, let's proceed to the lip products. This is my most favorite type of make ups to collect.
I think anyone who loves make ups would not have enough lipstick shades. However, for starters, I think there are four shades that are really a must have to establish ones make up kits. I am going to share four lipstick shades in two types - liquid lipstick/lipcream and the regular tube lipstick.
1. RED - Perfect Bold Red for a Night Out. LA Girls Matte Flat Finish Pigment Gloss in Frisky
2. PINK - A lil vibrant Pink won't hurt, to add a lil color to your face, great for everyday use. NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in San Paulo
3. MAUVE - Another color that you can wear everyday. Its a pinkish brown mauve. Another color perfect for everyday use.
4. NUDE - A perfect nude that's a great dupe for MAC's Velvet Teddy. Great to wear when your eyes is making a statement.
Look how gorgeous they are.Ü
Swatches for all four shades.Ü
That wraps up the make up kit that you can start with. It does not mean that you can get all of these, maybe less, maybe more. Who knows?Ü
This is just a guide to have an idea what you need to get to establish your essentials inside your baggy.
See you on my next post.
Till then,
