ESSENTIAL DRUGSTORE MAKEUP PRODUCTS FOR BEGINNERS!
We All Start Somewhere
Hey ladies! Are you prepared to dive into some makeup wisdom? This takes me back to when I was 14 years old, curious about where all the Instagram baddies learned their makeup skills. Of course, they had to start somewhere just like we do. Today, I'm sharing all my insights on the essential products you need to get started.
List Of Drugstore Products
(*) vegan
E.L.F. Eyebrow Lamentation Gel *
I've been using this product for around 6 months now, and I'm thrilled to have found it. It has truly enhanced the appearance of my eyebrows!!! Before I discovered this gel, managing my brow hairs was quite difficult. This gel lets me shape, sculpt, and set them, which is convenient even when I choose not to fill in my brows. Just a note, it's a white substance, much like glue, but it dries clear!
KISS New York Professional Line & Fill Brow Pencil
I truly adore this eyebrow pencil. The D-shaped tip allows for precise lines that mimic fine hair. My hair is very dark black, and I don't like the appearance of dark eyebrows on myself, so I opt for the Granite color. This product lasts around five to six months before I need to purchase another. A small amount certainly goes a long way.
E.L.F. Power Grip Primer + 4% Niacinamide *
To ensure your makeup lasts throughout the day, applying primer is essential. I choose this particular one because it has 4% Niacinamide. This component aids in evening out skin tones and brightening dullness. You should use this product after completing your daily skincare routine, before putting on makeup.
E.L.F. Camo Color Corrector *
This product is revolutionary for those dealing with hyperpigmentation, bruising, and scarring. I apply it to those areas before using my foundation. It consistently provides me with a smooth, even base. There are four additional shades available, each serving a different purpose: peach, green, blue, and yellow. Choose what's suitable for your skin. It also contains hyaluronic acid, offering moisturizing and anti-aging benefits!
MAYBELINE New York Fit Me Dewy + Smooth Foundation
This foundation offers excellent coverage without the need for excessive application. It is infused with SPF 18, which aids in protecting the skin from sun damage. If you have normal to dry skin, this product is perfect for you.
E.L.F. Hydrating Camo Concealer *
If you're on a budget, I suggest this product, though I must admit I have mixed feelings about this concealer. It tends to crease under the eyes, which I don't particularly like. However, once set, it is long-lasting. If you're unsure about which shade to choose, I always recommend selecting two shades lighter than your foundation for a brighter, more youthful appearance under your eyes.
E.L.F. Halo Glow Contour Beauty Wand *
I'm not really into contouring my face, but I do appreciate the texture of this product. It's creamy and lightweight, so I never need to use a lot. Plus, it's very easy to use, so I don't have to worry about it becoming messy. I recommend using a shade that's one or two darker.
MILANI All Inclusive Eye, Cheek and Face Palette
I haven't used this product myself, but I've heard positive feedback about it. For beginners, I suggest opting for an all-in-one palette that contains shadows, blush, and highlight.
WET N WILD Photofocus Loose Setting Powder
Setting powder is used to set your makeup and helps you achieve a smooth skin appearance. For the girlies with a brown complexion I recommend using the shade: Banana.
E.L.F. Stay All Night Micro- Fine Setting Mist *
Certainly, a setting spray is essential to complete your look. This particular mist ensures your makeup stays intact for up to 16 hours, maintaining a matte finish. If you prefer a dewy finish, consider the next product mentioned.
E.L.F. Power Grip Dewy Setting Spray
I enjoy using this product on days when I aim for a no-makeup look. This setting spray keeps my face looking well-hydrated. It has a power grip, ensuring your makeup stays in place.
Here are the distinctions among the three setting sprays offered by E.L.F.
