Hi, Girlssss………..
After a long time, I know too long. Was bit busy, then went for
vacation to Dubai. Very very nice place to visit atleast once in life
time.
This topic is about makeup kit for beginners. Who will need mini-
mal things to start. Hope you all will like what i have put together.
I have divide this in to 2 category High end & low end.
MAC & Revlon, Maybelline.
*** MAC ***
I have done Makeup Brush starter kit few months back. I thought
I'll do makeup product thing also.
1… MAC Prep + Primer---- It preparer's your skin ( that’s after
moisturize your skin ) for a even base to work the foundation and to
stay put the makeup for longer time.
2… MAC Concealer--- Their are number of diff. once. I’ll be reviewing
few of them, which i have tested & tried.
Studio Finish Concealer with SPF 35-----heavy cover.
Select Cover-Up--- Slight liquid. Doesn’t crease. ( On Me ).
Select Moisturecover--- With a wand. Did smudge on me after few hrs.
Concealer is to be applied on under eye circle, sides of nose,
around your lips, blemishes, & over the eyelid. But you needn’t use if skin
is even, & flawless. Just apply foundation and you are done.
3… MAC Powder foundation---
Studio Fix Powder foundation--- This is full cover Foundation. Love it.
Mineralize Skin Finish Natural --- Itz natural but buildable foundation.
Buff this nicely, then spritz with Fix +. You have a Flawless base. This is
done same with Studio Fix also.
4… MAC Fluidline Eye-Liner Gel (blacktrack)---- A staple thing in a kit.
No smudging, or budging, goes smooth, when applying. But be careful
keep it upside down, when in use, otherwise it will dry out before time.
Use angled brush, MAC No.266 or SIGMA No.E 65.
Seal the gel liner or liquid liner with powder e/s. For soft smoky
look.
Have a link to Sigma Makeup. Click to it. They are worth spending.
Please wash & care for your brushes. They will serve you for many
years.
5… MAC Paint Pots--- E/S base---- They come in varies type, Pots,
Tubes. I have used Painterly ( matt finish ) & Bare Canvas ( slight
shimmer, but nice) Soft Ochre ( Light Yellow matt base). They are nice,
if don’t have oily eyelids.
Or use Urban Decay first then one of them. Your e/s will
not crease. It will stay put.
6… MAC FIX + --- A must have in your makeup kit. If have dry skin
spray first on skin let it dry then apply daily cream or vice versa. It
give’s a dewy look or want a e/s to stick, spray little fix+, The color
be vibrant.
7… Eye Pencil- Power point pencil crayon--- Engraved, Teddy---- Good
pencil, if don’t have watery eyes. Becoz it will smudge after a while.
8… MAC Mascara--- I haven’t used Mac, but love L’oreal Volume Million Lashes –Extra Black,
Revlon- Water Tight Mascara—Water Resistant, Smudge Proof.
Maybelline- Define Lash—No Clumps, Separated, Sensuously Lon Lash,
water Proof.
9… Eye Brow Pencil Or Shadow--- In your brow color. Seal with
transparent Mascara or Shadow wax.
Your are done with all the things, Now some Dupes of Mac Products
for cheaper budget.
Mac Face primer DUPE ** The Body Shop Vitamin C skin Boost. Very good
primer. Makes skin baby soft. OR ** L’oreal Studio Secrets Professional
Smoothing Resurfacing Primer. This i got from Dubai. In India it has a
diff. name but i think the same.
