I've posted several makeup tips to help you improve your makeup application.
So in this post I'll go back to one basic thing that I skipped and that is Your makeup kit as a beginner. If you're a beginner you don't need every makeup product. There are just some basic things you need in your makeup bag.
Below is a list of the products you need as a beginner:
1. Primer

We all know the importance of priming. I've talked about priming in my previous posts. Read Here
There are different kinds of primers, eyeshadow primer and foundation primer are essentials.
For the foundation primers, only buy according to your skin type.
If your skin is on the oily side, you need a mattifying primer but if you have dry skin, your primer should be less mattifying or you can just use a matte foundation.
There are also color correcting primers. They keep oil away and at the same time correct skin discoloration.
2. Brow pencil or Brow Gel

To fill in your brows you need a brow pencil or a brow gel.
3. Foundation
Foundation is not everybody's favourite thing but your makeup kit should contain at least one especially if you love wearing eyeshadow in your eyes. You would need a foundation to complete the look. Purchase only a foundation that's suitable for your skin type. There are cream foundations, liquid foundations and powder foundations.
Cream foundations are good for people that want to cover spots or discoloration on their skin.
If you have oil skin, you need a matte cream foundation but if you choose to go for a liminous one, make sure you prime properly before applying.
If you're skin is dry, your Best Buy would be a luminous or satin finish foundation.
A Powder foundation is another option, they're easy to use. You just need the right shade and apply it by blending properly.

Liquid Foundations are light weight and mostly used by people that have no discoloration on their skin. This is because it doesn't cover scars.
3. Concealers
You need a concealer to clean up your brow area and to highlight.

As a beginner, you should get a blush pallete, it's preferable to single blushes. Remember that not all shades of blush will work on you. Buy according to your skin color.
For dark skin women, orange, purple, burgundy and other dark colored blushes are your friends and for women on the lighter skin side, pink, purple, orange and other light colors will work for you.
7. Lip pencils & Lipsticks

Lipsticks are your girlfriend but so are lip
pencils. Lip pencils help you outline your lip properly before you apply lipstick. I sometimes wear lip pencils as a lipstick.
Not all colors of lipsticks will look good on you. You need to find out the shades that will compliment your skin.
8. Contour and Highlight Kit
