Makeup Starter Kit

When you are young and starting out with makeup it is a fun and exciting time but walking into the beauty section and seeing all the different products it can be so overwhelming! So I have put together what I think would be the perfect makeup starter kit and a few little tips.


So what is inside the kit? Here is a breakdown:

Revlon ColourStay Liquid Foundation 
Revlon ColourStay Blemish Concealer 
Rimmel Stay Matte Powder 
ELF Blush in Fushia Fusion
Chi Chi Eyeshadow Palette in Glamorous Nudes
Maybelline Color Tattoo in Tough as Taupe  
Rimmel Scandal Eyes Show Off Mascara 
Baby Lips Loves Color 
NYX Butter Gloss in Creme Brulee 
Real Techniques Powder Brush
Manicare Angled Blush Brush
Essence Smokey Eyes Brush


I have used Revlon ColorStay for the longest time and swear by it, It can be built up for full coverage or worn as a thin layer. Rimmel's Stay Matte powder and Real Techniques powder brush work perfectly together to keep you shine free all day which is great if you are at school or work!

This ELF blush looks bright in the palette but with a quick sweep across the apples of your cheeks using the angled blush brush you can achieve a gorgeous flushed look. The sparkles in this transfer more as a slight shimmer which is great to make young skin look dewy.

Chi Chi make some of the best makeup and this palette is no exception! The amount of looks you can make is endless, from a sweep of one of the matte colors across the lid for an everyday look to a night time look with a shimmer and a dark cut crease. To make your eye shadow last all day I recommend using a base, such as the Maybelline Color Tattoo in Tough as Taupe. This is a great neutral color that even can be used on its own.

Finish off your look with a coat of mascara and a slick of baby lips tinted lip balms for moisture and a cute pop of color, or if you prefer something more glossy a NYX butter gloss would be my recommendation, not only do they smell amazing they are highly pigmented, easy to apply and not too sticky.

Happy Makeup Shopping xx
