My makeup starter kit


I  started with these few basic items, Yes.. If you're really into makeup you have got to have brushes, even for personal use. Later I'll post the basic types of brush.

Here I have liquid foundations, i chose that of Mac and Faceshop. Its not because they're branded or because they're expensive but im used to using them. They're easy to blend and doesn't give u that cakey look. Good for studio lights and you can never go wrong with Mac, a lot of tones and yes, great for Asian skin.

For setting, Am using Mac and that of Fanny Serrano. Based on my experience these 2 brands last. you can use it for setting , highlighting and contouring.

Different shades for blush is a must. And don't try to buy uber expensive brands, yes i know they're good and u can show them off.. lol! You can stick to your budget. There are good finds out there, go to the malls and try everything. Find products that works for you. Because no matter how expensive an item and how well it looks on the others, if it doesn't suit you and your skin type darling you will just be wasting your money. ok? ;)

With lipstick, i just keep on collecting, hehe. you'll never know when you might need a certain shade, right?
Mascara! ofcourse we all love playing with our eyes. hmmmm the rest you can see in the pictures lol..
