1) Powder:

Powder products are perfect for beginners. They are recommended for oily skin. Another benefit of using powder products is that you can build the coverage according to your comfort.

7) Beauty Blender:

It helps to build coverage easily and gives an even finish. There are many dupes available in the market but try getting the original because it is going to be one of your best make-up investments.

8) Makeup Setting Spray:

After you are done with all the color play, it is time to use some makeup setting spray to finish off your entire look. However this step is optional.
