sammi b: Beginners Makeup: A Helper

So, you've never worn makeup before, and you want to start wearing it. First off, don't go out and invest in high-end brands like MAC, stay with drugstore brands like CoverGirl and Rimmel, you'll be better off in the long run, in all honesty, I still have no high-end makeup, I love my drugstore products!

But, to start off with, I'm going to list a few things to buy if you want and some good products!

Mascarra - Getting a black mascarra is almost essential for almost every girl at some point, if your younger like let's say 12 - 13, I suggest just buying a clear mascarra if you actually want to wear one, but seriously, you don't need to.

Concealer - Concealer is obviously not an essential, but it is beginning to be one. Concealer helps to conceal under eye circles, blemishes or anything class an imperfection. There are different coloured concealer's for different uses, but I mainly use a normal skin coloured one to hide my blemishes and under eye circles.

Lip Gloss - Lip gloss is the easier, and in my opinion, better alternative to lipstick. You can wear it over the top of lipstick to give it a nice shine or by itself. In my opinion, lip glosses look better than a lipstick because it gives your face more depth.

Pencil Eyeliner - A pencil eyeliner is one of the most basic, simplest and oldest versions of eyeliner. If your going to start out, try learning with one of these. They tend to be a lot cheaper than gel, liquid or any other type.
I'm not going to list any eyeliners here because it's too much of a personal choice thing and really, some eyeliners work great for some people and terrible for others, it really just depends on the eye. Shop around and find your perfect eyeliner!

Powder Foundation - Loose or pressed, you can never go wrong with a powder. Unlike a lot of liquid foundations, powders don't cake and don't create a shine on your face. I've used a pressed powder for about two years and have just begun to wear loose powders religiously.
