Hello everyone, so for today's post I thought I would talk you through my drugstore makeup starter kit.
Now this is both for people just starting out with makeup and also for those who just want to pick up some new bits. Now as you can tell by the title, this starter kit is all the makeup that I think you would benefit from during the summer.
Anyways without further ado lets get started.
Ok so obviously the first thing your going to need is of course a makeup bag. Now you're only probably going to need one if you're just starting out with makeup, but nevertheless the one that I would recommend is the blue Zoella makeup bag. Now there are another 2 designs to pick from, but this one is definitely my favourite.
So the first proper makeup product in my starter kit is the Maybelline Dream BB Cream, obviously there are a lot of BB creams in the drugstore so you're definitely spoilt for choice!!
I would definitely recommend BB Creams over foundation in the summer because they are a lot lighter.
Also like most foundations they have SPF in them which will keep your face a little bit more protection from the sun.
The next product that I would reccomend is a panstick concealer. This one is from MUA and is something like £1.
Pansticks are good in the summer if you want to get out the door quick because they don't take as much blending.
Although if you do prefer liquid concealers. The two that I would reccomend would definitely have to be the Collection Lasting Perfection and the Rimmel Wake Me Up.
These are super easy to blend and give you really good coverage
Then because in summer your face will get shiny easier. The powder I would reccomend is the Rimmel Stay Matte, this is a really good powder and mattifies your face for up to 5 hours.
Next up we're going to move on to contouring, the duo that I would reccomend for this comes in the Sleek Contour Kit. The contour colour is gorgeous and the highlighter is one of the prettiest I've seen.
Next up I'm going to talk about blushes. Now I have two blushes that I want to talk about
So the first one is from MUA, this one is super cheap at only £2. This one is in the shade English Rose, it's a gorgeous pastel pink colour and has really good pigmentation.
Then the other blush is from Sleek. This one is in the shade Rose Gold. This one is definitely my fave blush, because it has super pretty gold undertones which act as a highlight. Also this one is a dupe for Nars Orgasm, and is more than half the price at only £4.49.
Next up I want to talk about mascaras. So the first one is by Collection and is one of their colour mascaras. This one is in the shade blue and is a gorgeous electric blue.
Ever since I laid eyes on the new Benefit They're Real Coloured Mascaras, I've really been wanting the Electric Blue one, but it's like £18 and I couldn't justify spending that amount of money. So I took myself off to Boots and found this really good dupe for only £2.99.
Then the other one is by Rimmel, and this is their fairly new out Wake Me Up mascara. This mascara is super good at making your eyes look more awake. Because it has the smell of cucumber it's really nice on the lashes and also has really good colour.
So next up we're going to move onto lips. Now these two lip products are my absolute drugstore fave. They are lip balms but have super good pigmentation, these are basically the same as Maybelline Baby Lips. Also they are about £2 and there are a wide range of colours.
Then the final things that I want to talk about for this post are brushes. Now obviously you can't really apply makeup without some form of brush or sponge. My absolute favourite brushes from the drugstore are of course Real Techniques. The bristles on these are really good and the brushes make easy application.
So that was my Drugstore Makeup Starter Kit. I hope this helped some of you guys and I also hoped you enjoyed and I'll talk to you later. Toodlepip xx
