How to Put Together a Makeup Kit

Take time to find a large area where you can spread the materials that you are going to use. This isn't a project to rush through. Take out all of your makeup and skin care products and go through them. These are some of the most common items in a make up kit: Foundation evens skin tone and gives a smooth palette to begin applying other products. Concealer is applied to hide blemishes, sores, bags, and other marks on the face. Blush adds dimension to your face and can add a youthful or sun-kissed look. Eyeshadow is available for almost any skin tone. Neutral and complimentary colors that can be used everyday should be put in your everyday pile. More exotic and dramatic colors can be added to your special occasion collection. Eyeliner is used on the edges of your eyelids closest to your eyes and just below the eyes. Powders can set your foundation and prevent it from wearing off as fast. Look for a good shade of lipstick and/or lipgloss to include in your kit. Find something that coordinates with the other products you plan to use daily. See tips for colors choices. Consider a bronzer to add additional color to your face. This is great during the summer time to give the appearance of a tan without the sun damage. This may be a daily, seasonal or special occasion item depending on the frequency you use it.
