Must Have Products in Makeup collection series

Some of the women I talk to who start to get into makeup, wants to know where to start at building a makeup collection. Now unless you could afford to go to a makeup counter which is usually high-end, you could get your makeup fully done and test out your product with experienced makeup artists. That could run your pocket empty. Most of us have to live with in our means but still look high-end. I'm going to give a few suggestions and really awesome quality budget friendly makeup brands to start out with in this series.

We all start out buying things and not knowing what to do or how to use it. Then we get upset because we never end up using what we brought from the results of not knowing what to buy. I'm going to suggest what to buy and what to look for when buying makeup for a well put together everyday look.

What to look in first time getting makeup at a drugstore 
Foundation
Setting powder or translucent powder to match the foundation
Color brightening concealer not just concealer because drugstores concealers are not very good!!
Brown and gold eye shadow for every brand or shimmer shadows because drugstore matte shadows are always less pigmented
Brow pencils

Through out these series of topics, I will discuss what to look for in drugstore makeup and a happy addition to your makeup collection. Bare in mind, of course not all of us will have the same results with these products. It still good to try to see what works best for your skin. I will still finish off my makeup 101 series but in between this series.

Primer 101

First step of makeup application is a face primer. Primers work as the barrior between the skin and foundation. Depending which type of primer is used, the product could make the other products like foundations glide on the skin more evenly for a smoother canvas to work on. Some think primers don't do anything and others can't go with out it. Some foundations come seperately with a primer meant to go with that specific foundation.

What primers could do for the face
Filling in pores
Creating a barrior between the skin and makeup
Control shine
Makes makeup last longer
Color correct
Have skin care benefits such as moisturizing the skin or having spf
Brightens the skin

Primers liked, both drugstore and high-end
Monistat chafing cream Is silicone based
Milk of Magnisia controls oil is a liquid like consistansy
Tart Clean Slate Flawless and Poreless flawless is cream based for brightening affect and poreless is a pore filler
Smash Box Photo Ready primers come in all types uses
Mac Prep and Prime oil control primer controls oil
Mac Fix Plus to moisten and freshen the skin.

All these primes above  each come with a different consistency. All claim to make makeup last longer. They could act as different purposes depending on what you are going for such getting a dewy affect by using a primer with reflects of sparkle in it. Depending on skin type like oily, combination, or dry, will these primers work well with your skin and makeup. These are some of the primers I have used for my skin and I have combination. They work well for me.

So before u think about putting your foundation on check some of these out see if it works. If there is a primer that comes with the foundation, buy them together because its meant to work with your foundation so it will last longer.....
