Hi, just letting you know that all products recommended here have been used by me, or are properly researched to ensure they are the best you are getting without bias.
I am also an affiliate for certain Amazon products and this means that some links here are affiliate links. If you purchase an item through any of them, I MAY earn a commission at no extra cost on you.
If you are not a huge makeup fan and have made up your mind to go makeup shopping but ended up not knowing what to throw into the cart, I clearly understand that feeling. There are hundreds of different beauty products out there, but if you’re not a massive makeup addict then you really don’t need every single product in the makeup store but just the basic makeup items. The good thing with makeup is that there are no rules to it! Plus, one product could be used in multiple ways so you can go with just a few products in your makeup kit and still be just fine.
You may be surprised at the various makeup products you’ll find and going through them all can be overwhelming; especially if the shop attendant is not helpful, you can end up walking around the store looking lost. Some attendants may only try to make you buy their wares and so will be shoving various products into your hands which you probably do not know the use or even how to apply it! For a beginner or simply an amateur, it’s wiser to start with the basic makeup items.
Top Makeup Items Girls Should Have In Their Makeup Box
You might want to help yourself to what you feel are the necessary/basic makeup items a girl should have. To make the whole thing easier for you, I have picked them out for you and so here are those basic makeup items you should have in your box that are actually easy to use and doesn’t need any expert skill for you to get a hang of the application:
1. Clear Mascara:
2. Waterproof Lipstick:
3. Liquid Highlighter/Illuminator:
4. Brown Eyebrow Pencil:
5. Plain Black Waterproof Mascara:
Lashes coated with mascara instantly make your face look more awake and lively and it’s kind of remarkable how much it can change your look. Simply, wiggle two to three coats through your lashes for volume and definition or simply brush through them with the wand to create a small amount of darkness to the lashes. It gives your eyes a dark and bold look which is a good style switch. Depending on the mascara, you can also use a small amount of it on an angled brush for a quick and easy liquid eyeliner.
6. Face Powder:
7. Lip Balm/Gloss:
8. Eyeshadow: 
9. Detachable False Lashes:
Putting this on does not mean you will look fake or like a baby doll. Detachable lashes are those lashes you can remove once you are home. If you want to get that natural look, buy the striped ones. They are not noticeable unless someone comes close. They come with gums, little brush and little clips (or whatever they call it). It comes in various lengths and can be used for a long time if you know how to clean them. It’s mostly very useful for people with short and scanty lashes.
Some of these items girls have in their makeup kit can serve more than one purpose, some serve only one and when you have them, you would be amazed at what you can do with them. This list is not all the makeup items but basically the top makeup items to have in your box that are necessary for your day to day makeup without going overboard. With time you can add more when you get a hang of the whole thing.
You did justice to this topic. love it.
Well, good thing it’s called basic items. That should mean that mine is already way advanced.
Lol. Truly the basic. This is like the most basic item I can have. Can’t even call it a collection! You know what I’m saying 😜
This is really basic as anyone can use them without any professional skill.
Thank u!
I really like your blog.. very nice colors & theme.
Did you make this website yourself or did you hire someone to
do it for you? Plz respond as I’m looking to
construct my own blog and would like to find out where u got this
from. cheers
Hello there! Do you use Twitter? I’d like to follow you if that would be ok. I’m definitely enjoying your blog and look forward to new posts.
Fantastic website. A lot of helpful information in this case.
Warm Regards.
My girlfriend will definitely find this very useful. thanks for sharing!
Err. For me highlighter is not on my list as i still suck at the application.
Hmmm. I guess I’ll just stick to getting a makeup set since it contains just the basic makeup items I need. With time I’ll add a primer and setting spray as my friend says it’s a great makeup finish.
Good choice. Your friend is definitely right about the setting spray.
Thanks for visiting.
