DON'T USE YOUR FINGERS!!
Brushes can help even out product on your face by buffing it into a skin, creating a more flawless and natural look which is what most women want.
2. Foundation
Whether you prefer liquid to powder, light or heavy coverage, having a good foundation is essential to giving your skin an even tone. It is usually the first step to a makeup routine so invest in something that works great and lasts through a long day. Try not to skimp when it comes to foundations.

3. Concealers
Concealers are a highly important holy grail essential to any makeup kit typically because they can act as foundation. They conceal blemishes, dark circles, brighten your under eye area so you look awake and even out hyperpigmentation of the skin.

4. Setting Powders
Setting powders are used to set your liquid foundations and concealers. Don't use liquid foundations? Don't worry about about getting a powder! But if you use concealer, you might want to set the area you applied so that it won't crease throughout the day or settle into fine lines.
5. Bronzes, Brushes & Highlighters
Bronzers help bring depth to your face. When used to contour, it can make a nose look smaller, create shadows to compliment your face and give your face a natural tan.
Blushes mimic your natural flush of color found on your cheeks and wiped away by foundation.
Highlighters finish off the face by adding sunlight to the areas of your face that would naturally be illuminated by the sun and/or light. Areas such as the bridge of your nose, your eyebrow bone, top of your cheek bone & cupid's bow.
6. Primers & Eyeshadow Palettes
When starting a makeup collection, having nude eyeshadow palettes is your best bet. All the colors you will need in one palette takes the guess work from trying to figure out which colors will go together. Also, we suggest an eyeshadow primer to give your shadow a place to stick to so they don't crease, look more vibrant and last longer.
7. Eyeliners & Mascara
All you need to start with a black liner. Tightline your upper lash line or add drama to your water line with an eyeliner pencil. Create a ca eye or winged look with a liquid or gel liner. Top off your eye look by achieving the look of big false lashes with mascara.
8. Eyebrow Kits
Your eyebrows shape your face and finish off your polished look so don't forget to tame them, fill them in, and make them look like you've given them thought. Use an eyeshadow kit in a lighter color than your hair color to make it look natural not bold!
9. Lipstick
For starter makeup, stick with a nude lipstick or lip gloss your choice. Or try My Lips But Better (MLBB) lip shades that are slightly lighter than your natural color.
10. Setting Powders
Last but not least - set your makeup in place with a makeup setting spray. It cuts the powder look if you've used a a powder foundation or setting powder and locks the makeup to last for long periods of time.
