Beginners Guide to Building a Perfect Makeup Kit !

For someone who is just starting with makeup, we can totally understand the confusion that you face. Don't worry ! We at 25 and Something have also struggled to find the right products that work the best as beginners. Also, we understand that mostly when we are just starting with makeup, we are generally looking for products that are not very expensive.

So that you don't have to go on hunt to find the best affordable beauty products in the market, we have shortlisted a few products that will help you to build a perfect makeup kit.


Below are our top picks that should definitely make it in your makeup kit.

1. Face Primer



As beginners, we tend to ignore the importance of a Face Primers. Prepping your face before you apply any makeup is the first and fore most step you need to follow. So, after you have applied a good amount of moisturizer over your face, follow it with Faces Ultime Pro Perfecting Primer
This, primer works really well in filling up your pores and creating an even skin texture so that your makeup goes on well and stays the same for long.

2. Foundation



Okay ! So we are obsessed with the Maybelline New York Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation. This is the best drugstore foundation that you can ever come cross. The Fit Me foundation blends really well because of it's consistency and stays put for hours. They also have a good range of shades to choose from.

3. Concealer



If you are someone who suffers from dark circles or dark spots that you need to cover then L.A. Girl Pro Conceal HD concealer is all that you will need. This concealer is only available online and you can purchase this off Nykaa.com. They have a wide range of shade options so you can be sure to find the right shade for your skin tone. The L.A. Girl Pro Conceal HD blends like a dream and is full coverage concealer.
If you are not sure of buying a concealer online because of confusion in picking the right shade, then you can opt for Maybelline New York Fit Me ConcealerThough it has just 3 shades to pick from, you can try them out and then purchase the same.

4. Compact (Pressed Powder)



The Colorbar Radiant White UV Fairness Compact Powder covers acne scars, spots and blemishes, gives a glowing complexion and a smooth and oil-free finish, all this without a very heavy feel on the face, gives a natural look.

5. Blusher, Bronzer and Highlighter



As a beginner with contouring and bronzing, you would want to experience the drugstore brands before splurging on high end brands. Makeup Revolution Iconic Pro Blush, Bronze and Brighten is a great for beginners as well as for travelling. I love to travel light and also do not wish to carry 3 different products for blush and contour. The baked formula works very well and is easy to blend into the skin and it gives a great natural finish to the skin and I found the staying power pretty decent even on oily skin.

6. Eyeliner


I can never step out of the house without applying my eyeliner ! The Maybelline New York Hyper Matte Liquid Liner - Matte Black is a beautiful eyeliner with black matte effect. The applicator brush works really well for creating winged liner or any other delicate looks. 


7. Mascara



A good mascara can may or break your look, it opens up your eyes and makes you look more awake. I have mentioned the importance of curling your eyelashes and applying mascara in the previous blogs posts as well. Maybelline Volum' Express Falsies Mascara - Waterproof is one miracle product. The spoon shaped applicator fills in the gaps and gives a decent length to your eyelashes. The name Falsies is apt as it gives a look of false lashes without having to apply any !

P.S: Makeup tools are as important as quality makeup products. Make sure you buy good makeup brushes or sponges. Products will not blend well if you use the wrong or bad quality tools.

If you want to save on some bucks and still buy your favorite makeup brands, then try buying online. There is always some discounts that you can avail on websites like Nykaa.com or Amazon.
