Must Buy Make Up For Beginners

When I first learned about make up, I was overwhelmed! So many choices, so little money, so ugly face haha. I know nothing anything about make-up and skin care, tones and the likes. I wish Make Up for Beginners workshop is already a thing back then, wala sana ako masyadong naaksayang pera from buying too much products. Swerte nyo because, this kind of workshop is now a thing and it’s very affordable. And if you are planning to attend Sai Montes Makeup Artistry Basic Personal Makeup Workshop and wondering what are the Must Buy Make Up For Beginners, I am here to help you.

Must Buy Make Up For Beginners

Before I start the list, let me just remind you that before applying make up, your face should be clean and well moisturized.

Make Up Primer. You will need two types of primer, one for the face and one for the eyes (which also works for the eyebrow). Why will you need a primer? It will make everything last longer. Eyebrow will stay on fleek for the whole day.

Foundation. Sai Montes Makeup Artistry Basic Personal Makeup Workshop will discuss how to find the right foundation for you. If you are going to attend the workshop, I suggest skipping buying this. Of you are here just for the Must Buy Make Up For Beginners, knowing your skin type and if your face is acidic will help you buy the best shade of foundation for you. If your face is acidic, go 1-2 lighter shade. Personally, I prefer BB cushion than foundation.

Loose Powder. This is a must, specially if you have oily skin. And you always have to bring one whenever you go. Oiliness (and dry skin) is next to ugliness, always remember that!

Eyebrow Make Up Kit. Everything is all about the eyebrows, it can make or break your look. What eyebrow make up brand to buy? I love Maybelline Fashion Brow Palette. It’s very cheap and it lasts really long (it’s been a year since I bought mine).

Mascara and eyeliner. These two must go together, all the time and specially if you have thin eyelashes or small eyes. If you will attend Sai Montes Makeup Artistry Basic Personal Makeup Workshop, she will teach you how to apply both and also how to apply false eyelashes.

Eyeshadow Palette. This is a must to enhance your eyes. And though I have no product recommendation, what I can tell you is stay away from eyeshadow with shimmer, not a good idea!

Lipstick. I suggest buying 3 shades, Nude, Pink and Red. Also, buy matte and not the one with shine. Why? With matte lipsticks, it’s like having two kinds, you can go matte as is. If you want shine, just apply lip gloss on top of it.

Make Up Remover. Yup, this is also a Must Buy Make Up For Beginners. Always remove your make up using a make up remover to ensure that all make up particles are removed from your face. Never ever skip this part because dirty face can lead to pimples.

Don’t spend too much on make-up ha, spend on your skin care routine. If your skin is really good, you won’t even need a foundation.

Should you buy make up brushes or not? You don’t have to for now. Most products that needs brush to be applied already included a brush for application.

Baked Goodies or Food. I thought I am the only one who lovesss food as present. If you are going to give food, make sure that it is for sharing. It was mentioned that food given as gifts are usually shared at the faculty room. Sabi ng friend ko “good shot pa sya sa co-teachers nya.”

And I just found the PERFECT food (na for sharing) to give this Holiday: Red Ribbon HoliDozen Gift Boxes. It comes in a festive box designed with a colorful Christmas parol and a gift card!

And you wouldn’t get wrong with chocolates! Most brands comes in a cute packaging. Wala ka na problema sa gift wrapping.

Bag or big purses. Ecobag that can hold a lot of stuff is a nice gift. If you feel like being extra, add the name of the teacher for personalized effect. Teachers always have a lot to bring and a sturdy bag will be greatly appreciated.

Desk supplies or pens. Pens will do the trick, 100%. All the teachers I know mentioned pen as one of the gifts they appreciate. If you know the teacher’s favorite color, give a set of pen with different shades of her/his favorite color.

Grocery Pack or Ham for Christmas. Nobody can say no to this, even me! Specially if it is Holiday Ham hahaha. If Ham is a bit expensive for you, try spaghetti pack from the grocery. Each pack is less than 200 Pesos only. You can even add cheese + corned beef para complete na ang pang spaghetti ni teacher sa Christmas.
