If you’re a newbie to the world of beauty, welcome! You will definitely not regret entering a realm that makes it even more fun to be a girl. Don’t be intimidated by all the various brands, terms, and colors that come with being in the beauty world. Beauty products are meant to make life easier and brighter—not stressful nor daunting.
Here is a list of products you should have in your starter kit, chosen for their multi-use and simplicity.
A BB cream offers buildable coverage that will help even out your skin tone. We recommend choosing one with adequate sun protection to make sure you keep fine lines and age spots away.
We like: DR. JART+ PREMIUM BEAUTY BALM SPF 45 (P2,989.00) A one-step balm that perfects the appearance of skin while protecting it from the sun and environmental factors.
Lip and cheek tints are your best friend when it comes to giving your face a flush of color. Just a few drops on the apples of your cheeks and a gentle swipe on your lips is all you need.
We like: MILK MAKEUP LIP + CHEEK(P1,750.00) A quick, multi-use stick that can be applied to lips and cheeks for a creamy, sheer tint.
I know you’re new to the makeup game and doing your brows right now may seem impossible—but remember that brows make or break your look, so start practicing how to apply them! There are an assortment of brands to choose from that are easy to use.
We like: PINK SUGAR HONEY I’M GOOD BROW GEL – BRUNETTE (P349.00) A multi-purpose brow gel that fills in and conditions brows at the same time. It’s also infused with coconut oil and aloe vera.
No woman’s makeup kit is complete without concealer to help combat dark under eye circles or the occasional blemish. Once you find your perfect shade and consistency, this will definitely be a constant companion.
We like: ARITAUM FULL COVER LIQUID CONCEALER (P429.00) A high coverage liquid concealer that covers blemishes on wide spots flawlessly.
A setting powder is highly recommended to lock your look in place. It’s also a great way to combat shine and get added sun protection.
We like: COTY AIRSPUN LOOSE FACE POWDER 65G – TRANSLUCENT (P630.00) A loose powder with a Microspun formula where loose powder particles are spun and swirled until they reach a cloudlike softness.
Mascara is the quickest way to make eyes look brighter and more wide awake.
We like: W7 ABSOLUTE LASHES MASCARA (P449) A black mascara with a soft, spiked brush for an instant boost of volume, length, and extra curl for bolder-looking lashes.
