01
Face primer & setting spray
A good primer is essential to help your makeup last longer and look smoother. Choose one that offers a long wearing base for your makeup. Pair it with a setting spray (apply after your make-up is done to give it more staying power) that can lock in your look all day, ensuring your makeup stays put.
02
Foundation
Foundation is the cornerstone of any makeup kit, providing an even base for your entire look. Look for a foundation that gives you a natural, glowing finish, with blendability and coverage that suits your skin type.
03
Concealer
Cover up any blemishes or dark circles with a reliable concealer. Opt for one that is easy to apply and provides a smooth, even finish, perfect for brightening up your under-eye area or covering imperfections. Look for products that have the words 'brightening or lightening/highlighting' on the label.'
04
Setting powder
To keep your makeup in place and reduce shine throughout the day, a setting powder is a must. Choose one that gives a seamless finish and helps your makeup last longer without settling into fine lines.
05
Blush
Add a healthy flush of colour to your cheeks with a blush that’s easy to blend and gives a natural glow. A cream or powder formula can work well, depending on your skin type and preference.
06
Mascara
Mascara is key to defining your lashes and enhancing your eyes. Opt for one that curls, lengthens and volumises without clumping, ensuring your lashes look full and fluttery.
07
Eyeliner
For sharp, defined eyes, choose an eyeliner with a precise tip and a long-lasting formula. Whether you prefer a pencil, liquid, or gel, the right eyeliner can help you create anything from a subtle line to a dramatic wing.
08
Eyeshadow
A versatile eyeshadow palette with neutral shades is a must for creating both day and night looks. Look for a palette that offers a mix of matte and shimmer shades, allowing you to experiment with different styles.
09
Lip gloss
A lip gloss can add the perfect finishing touch to your makeup look. Choose one with a hydrating formula and high-shine finish, perfect for adding a touch of glamour to any look.
10
Lipstick
For a pop of colour, select a lipstick that offers a creamy, matte finish. Look for long-wearing and highly-pigmented formulas that stay put and provide a rich colour.
11
Essential tools
Don’t forget the tools that make application easier. A set of brushes, a makeup sponge, and an eyelash curler are all essential tools that help you apply makeup with precision and ease, ensuring the best result.
