Make Up Starter Kit

Hiii, today I have a make up starter kit for you which basically has everything I think you will need if you're starting to wear make up. Some of you have probably seen some of these before but this is my take on it! 

Before I start, I need to apologize for the pictures! I had to change where I was taking them just for today and they all have shadows so I'm very sorry! 

 The first thing that is essential when you're wearing make up is a good face wash. I picked up the Simple Kind To Skin Refreshing Facial Wash Gel a few weeks ago and I love it. It's about £3 and it's so worth it! I have noticed an incredible difference in the last few weeks so if you're starting to wear make up or you already wear it, this is definitely something I would recommend! 

Another product that is essential is moisturiser. The one I tend to use is the Nivea Daily Essentials Light Moisturising Day Cream. As well as keeping your skin fresh, moisturiser helps as a base for your foundation which is so useful!

If you are lucky enough to have good skin, I would use tinted moisturiser rather than a foundation. One that I found works really well is the Natural Collection Tinted Moisturiser. It comes in three different colours and this is the Natural shade which is £1.99. I still use tinted moisturiser now, for example, if I'm having a good skin day (which is not very often) and I'm just popping to town for half an hour, I'll wear this so I don't have to go through the whole process of putting make up on when there's no need to. 

However if you're looking for something with a bit more coverage because like me, you have bad skin, then I would recommend the Rimmel London Lasting Finish 25 Hour Foundation which is £7.99. I have had this since I started wearing make up and it was so useful at the beginning because it gave me good coverage without it being too thick.  

One thing that isn't essential is concealer. But just in case, I would recommend the Rimmel London Wake Me Up Concealer. This is £5.49 but it is so worth it! I've used this since I started wearing make up and I still wear it now. It just adds a little bit more coverage in places like under your eyes or on spots. 

On to mascara, this is probably one of my favourites and it is the Collection Lengthening Mascara and it is £2.99. This isn't the one that I used but I didn't know about this at the time. With most mascaras, you can't wear them for day and night but with this one you can. It lasts a good few hours so there's no need to keep re-applying it throughout the day. 

The Collection Work The Colour Nude Eye Palette can be used for two things which are eyeshadow or for eyesbrows. It is £2.99 from Boots. Before I started filling in my eyebrows, I used this as an eyeshadow palette. The colours are so easy to wear and they are simple to apply. As for eyesbrows, I don't like thick eyebrows so I go for a more natural brow by just filling them in with some eyeshadow. 

What I really like about this palette is the fact that it comes with a 'How To Use' section on the back which is so useful if you're just starting out.   

I know a lot of people like bolder colours so this one is definitely useful. I can't find this one in the brochure or on the website but they do very similar ones for about £7. I found it really useful when I was starting to get into eyeshadow so I would definitely say it's worth a try. My cousin has one and she's 14 and I know she loves it as well, especailly with the colours. 

I hope you enjoyed this! I tried to keep it as simple and as cheap as possible, so I hope it was helpful!
