A beginner makeup kit only needs a few products that cover lips, face, and eyes: a lip color, a powder to even out the face, a blush for color, and an eyeshadow palette. Add a couple of basic tools and you can create a simple, complete look. Starting small makes it easier to learn what you like.
The basics by area
| Area | Starter product | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Face | Pressed powder | Easy to apply and reduces shine |
| Cheeks | Blush | Adds healthy-looking color |
| Eyes | Eyeshadow palette | Lets you practice soft looks |
| Lips | Lip color | Finishes the look quickly |
Tools that help
- A fluffy brush for powder and blush
- A small eyeshadow brush
- A makeup sponge for blending
- A pouch or bag to keep everything together
