Best Makeup Products For Beginners. We all have to start somewhere.

With the mountains of products out there, it can be a little intimidating knowing where to start if you’re new to makeup.

From primers, to foundations, to powders, to lips, to everything in between, I’ve put together a list of the best makeup for beginners and what order you should do your makeup.

 

Primer: Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser €11.49

 

 

Primer is the first step in your makeup routine and it helps to improve your skin’s texture, erase the look of pores and fine lines and improve the longevity of your makeup. There’s loads of different primers out there for different things but one of my favourites is this one from Maybelline. As the name suggests, it covers up your pores, blurs out your skin and helps your foundation go on so much better.

 

Foundation: It Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC Cream €39.00

 

 

Next step is your foundation. This CC cream from It Cosmetics gives your natural looking coverage that you can build up if you need to. A little goes a long way so it will last a long time.

 

Concealer: Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer €5.79

 

 

You apply concealer after foundation and use it to cover under eye circles, spots, acne scars or other imperfections. This one from Collection is incredible. It gives you insane coverage and is very affordable.

 

Powder: Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder €5.99

 

 

You’re going to want to set everything you just did with powder. This will help to keep your makeup on all day and take away any shine from your skin. It will also help you to blend out any powders you want to put on top, such as bronzer or blush. This Rimmel powder will give you a shine free, matte complexion for up to 5 hours.
