Buying a good makeup kit can be quite challenging and overwhelming even for the professional makeup artist as there are a lot of products available in the market. With thousands upon thousands of products to choose from, it can start to get a bit confusing when figuring out which ones work best for you. In order to apply your makeup properly, you'll need to use the right makeup items and right tools.

Here is a useful list of makeup items for you to buy-

  1. Primer - It creates a smooth and even base so that you can apply your makeup easily.
  2. Foundation- It can be a liquid or powder face cosmetic that helps create an even, flawless skin tone and either a dewy or matte texture. Choose the best foundation makeup that matches your skin tone as closely as possible to look natural.
  3. Concealer- It is similar to foundation except it's generally thicker and hides dark circles, age spots, blemishes and more by hiding pigments and blending these imperfections into the skin.
  4. Setting powder- It keeps everything looking flawless for as long as possible.
  5. Blush- It adds color to your cheeks, creating the illusion of a natural (or not-so-natural, depending on the look you're going for) flush.
  6. Contour- It involves using dark and light colors to enhance or slim down the appearance of certain facial features.
  7. Highlighter- It is a light-reflecting product which enhances your complexion and gives skin a brighter, dewy glow as well as making cheekbones look more prominent.
  8. Eyeshadow- It is a cosmetic applied primarily to the eyelids to make the wearer's eyes stand out or look more attractive.
  9. Eyeliner- It makes your eyes appear more rounded, larger or sharper depending on your mood. If you know how to apply eye makeup well, you can lift your entire face, making it appear more youthful and energetic. 
  10. Mascara- It is a makeup product that aims to lengthen, enhance, and define eyelashes. 
  11. Eyebrow pencil- It applies color to the eyebrows and can change the face expressions depending on how it is drawn.
  12. Lipstick- It applies color, texture, and protection to the lips. 
  13. Makeup brushes- They give you a very precise application, which helps the makeup look more natural. Brushes also make it easier to blend harsh lines on the face, because you'll have more control than if you were using a basic applicator.

You don’t need all of these things and you can use the same item for other purposes.(e.g- Lipstick can also be used as a blusher) But the best thing is to use the product where it is aimed to be used for a better look.

Hope this helps you and have a great time.
