1. Primer

A primer leaves you with the perfect canvas to experiment with makeup looks. There are different types of primers suitable for all types of skin. Whether it's pores, redness, or wearability of makeup that you are concerned about, a primer is a perfect start to your makeup routine. One of the best primers is the Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream which works to reduce redness and plums the skin to give a supple look. It also helps with textured skin.

Incorporate a primer in your makeup routine to look fresh throughout the day! Primers are also known to control oil and moisturize the skin, leaving it as smooth as possible. Fenty Beauty's primer is another hot favorite that is bound to produce excellent results. There are many primers out there that also contain SPF for protection against the sun. Hence, a must-have in your makeup collection!

2. Foundation

Foundation that perfectly compliments your skin is tricky to find but, once found, gives you the perfect base to build on your look. To find the foundation of your choice, you have to filter some elements such as what type of coverage you prefer: sheer, medium, or full coverage. The next step is finding a foundation that suits your skin type and undertones. Then it is all about getting the right color.

Sometimes, mixing up two colors can help you achieve the perfect color that matches your complexion. To attain coverage that lasts throughout the day, you can try the Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation. Another foundation with a diverse range of shades and lasts for 24 hours is the Makeup Forever Ultra HD foundation, which is available at your nearest Sephora outlet.

3. Concealer

To conceal those dark circles and cover up discoloration and acne, concealer is a necessary product to have in your makeup collection. Like foundations, concealers also give sheer and full coverage. To achieve a natural look, you should choose a shade closer to your foundation's shade. A concealer slightly lighter than your foundation can give you the perfect highlight, while peach and pink-toned concealers help cover up dark circles incredibly. To cover up those dark circles, you can try NARS Radiant Creamy liquid concealer.

4. Blush

To add color to your skin, blushes are your best friend. The Balm blush, highlighter, and bronzer trio is a 3 in 1 kit that adds the right amount of hues to enhance your features. Opaque foundations can give you a flat appearance, and wearing a blush makes you look flushed and attractive.

Blushes come in different forms; you can get gel, cream, or powder blushes depending on what suits your skin type. For fair to medium skin, pink and peach tones are perfect, while mauve and maroon shades look heavenly on darker skin tones. To accentuate your features, you can try different blush techniques such as applying your blush on the high points to give your face a lift or applying it on the apples of your cheeks for a plump and fuller look. The Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Blush is recommended if you are looking for a soft natural look. It comes in several shades that suit different skin tones. In cream blushes, the Milk Makeup's Lip + Cheek Stick is a favorite!

5. Lipsticks

Lipsticks give you the right amount of oomph to give your makeup look an energizing boost. Depending on your mood, you can go for a glossy, satin, or matte lip. For a no-makeup look, a color closer to your natural lip color is your best bet. For most, NYX soft matte lipstick in Cannes is perfect for creating a natural makeup look. For a formal look, a classic red can do, and to complement a smoky eye, nude lips are the way to go! Lips bring out one's personality, and to show the daring side of you, flaunt a perfect purple lip.

6. Eyeshadow Palette

An eyeshadow palette gives you a variety of colors to play with and come up with creative looks. If you prefer subtle looks, then neutral-toned palettes try ColourPop's Bare Necessities of a neutral palette. Still, if experimenting with vibrant colors is your thing, palettes like Morphe 35B can provide you with versatile hues. There is a lot of room to bring out your creativity with eyeshadows, and the recent popularity of TikTok eye makeup trends and challenges is a testament to it.

7. Mascara

To pull together, your eye look mascara works majestically. Mascaras can adhere to your demands of lengthening your lashes or making them thicker and more voluminous. Usually, black mascaras work for most, while brown can be opted for by those with light-colored lashes. Nowadays, mascara is available in vibrant colors like electric blue. One of the best mascaras out there is Benefit's Badgal BANG Lash mascara that creates the perfect volume. Mascaras work to lift your eyes; hence they are a must-have in your makeup kit.

8. An Eyebrow Product

To up your brow game, you can find several eyebrow products out there. Eyebrow products include pencils, powders, pomades, and gels. You can choose any one of these depending on what it is you want to achieve. The Anastasia Brow Wiz can help you achieve an incredible eyebrow shape. You can fill in the gaps and shape your brows to your liking with the CoverGirl Micro-Fine Fill + Define Eyebrow Pencil. Most brow pencils come with a spoolie that can help with grooming your brows and creating a natural look.
