How to build a beginner natural makeup kit

Am I the only one who loves going all natural with makeup in the summer?

So I've been asked by many how I built my natural makeup kit when I was a beginner, and honestly it wasn't all me, at this point I had no idea what I was doing, it was mostly help from my sisters, makeup artists, an lastly it was me understanding my skin type and understanding the meaning of oil-based and water-based which came in handy when picking my foundations and concealers. However, after some while I learnt how to understand the products that fit well with my skin and which don't and this is how I came with my routine and favourites.

I usually start with moisturiser, and the one I usually use is Bioten which includes SPF 15 and sometimes use it as my primer as it lightweight. But, for someone who prefers using primers I would go for one of my favourites NYX pore filler, which has a silicone base - plus I believe primers is such a particular product, it really depends on your skin.

One of my base products is Revolution foundation, it's a base that can be bought everywhere and is cheap. For beginners I really like this product as it's light you can gradually build it up to your liking and you can always have more coverage with your concealer. Th foundation feels lightweight and for a person that has combination/sensitive skin I feel it's perfect starting off with it. My trick is applying with a brush and finishing off with a sponge tapping to make sure the foundation is sitting on your face - I call it the Kylie technique

I personally love using a multi-use brush just to make it easier for changing brushes!

The concealer is from Bourjois (01 Ivory), it contains hyaluronic acid that helps enhances the eyes, giving an illuminating radiant look and helps the look to come all together. It also includes glacier water which helps hydrating the eyes allowing the skin to look plump and prevents ageing. On top of that, the wand is super easy to apply and the formula is super blendable. I like to apply it under my eyes, under brow bone, and bridge of my nose.

I will go and set my face with Gosh mineral powder, leaving the makeup set for the whole day, applying on my t-zones, and nose.

My all time favourite drugstore blush/contour is I Heart Revolution in My Velvet Blusher. It's a very build-able and pigmented product that has four different shades and I still today use it and love using the baby pink shade on my nose to look sun kissed. While on the I Heart Revolution product, I also use their highlighter called Strobe Highlighter as I love a blinding highlighter for looking glowing. I usually apply under brow bone, tip of nose, and on top of my cheeks.

For drugstore, my brows I've been using L'oreal brow artist since I found out you can put makeup on your brows (it took me a while). I feel it hold my brows in place the whole day even during sweaty days, and a little trick I've learned is when taking the product out, take a small angled brush and take the excess product on the tip and apply on areas you desire to look more filled.

I swear about this mascara is Maybelline in Volume Colossal and it is literally the only product that separates my long lashes apart while making them look longer and is super inexpensive.

Lastly, for the lips I like using a tinted lip balm with SPF to protect mt skin from the sun too.

I wanted to roundup my favourites and share with you all drugstore products I used to use and still use when I was a beginner but don't forget we learn new things everyday so I'm still learning. It's a very healthy fresh look that can be used anywhere and is quite quick.

I know this has been quite long but I truly hope this has answered all your questions

My #Sundaytip to always try to get products with SPF and even there's a controversy that SPF's in products don't do anything however, I believe every bit counts as the sun can damage skin cells and make your skin age faster.
