1. Foundation
Foundation is the canvas of your makeup routine. It evens out your skin tone and provides a smooth base for other products.
How to Use
- Choose the Right Shade: Test foundation shades on your jawline to find the perfect match.
- Application: Use a damp beauty sponge for a natural finish. Start in the center of your face and blend outward.
- Setting: Lightly dust with setting powder to keep it in place all day.
2. Concealer
Concealer is your secret weapon for hiding imperfections like dark circles, blemishes, and redness.
How to Use
- Brighten Under Eyes: Apply a shade lighter than your foundation in a triangle shape under your eyes.
- Cover Blemishes: Use a concealer that matches your skin tone directly on blemishes and blend.
- Highlight: Use a light shade on the bridge of your nose, center of the forehead, and chin for a subtle highlight.
3. Blush
Blush adds a natural flush to your cheeks, giving you a youthful and healthy glow.
How to Use
- Placement: Smile and apply blush on the apples of your cheeks, blending back towards your temples.
- Types: Powder blushes are great for oily skin, while cream blushes work well for dry skin.
4. Highlighter
Highlighter accentuates your best features, adding a luminous glow to your skin.
How to Use
- Strategic Application: Apply highlighter on the high points of your face—cheekbones, brow bone, bridge of the nose, and cupid’s bow.
- Blend: Use a fan brush or your fingers to blend for a natural shine.
5. Eyebrow Pencil
Well-defined eyebrows frame your face and complete your look.
How to Use
- Shape: Lightly outline the natural shape of your brows.
- Fill In: Use short, hair-like strokes to fill in sparse areas.
- Blend: Use a spoolie brush to blend for a natural look.
6. Eyeshadow Palette
An eyeshadow palette with a range of colors allows you to create versatile looks, from everyday natural to dramatic evening styles.
How to Use
- Base Shade: Apply a neutral shade all over your lid as a base.
- Crease: Use a darker shade in the crease to add depth.
- Highlight: Apply a shimmery shade on the center of the lid and the inner corner of the eyes.
7. Eyeliner
Eyeliner defines your eyes, making them appear larger and more striking.
How to Use
- Classic Line: Draw a thin line along your upper lash line for a classic look.
- Winged Eyeliner: Extend the line outwards for a dramatic wing.
- Tightline: Apply liner on the waterline for a fuller lash appearance.
8. Mascara
Mascara opens up your eyes by adding volume and length to your lashes.
How to Use
- Wiggle and Pull: Wiggle the wand at the base of your lashes and pull upward for maximum volume.
- Layer: Apply multiple coats for a more dramatic effect.
9. Lipstick
Lipstick is the finishing touch to your makeup look, adding color and definition to your lips.
How to Use
- Line and Fill: Outline your lips with a matching lip liner before filling in with lipstick.
- Blot: Blot with a tissue and apply a second coat for longer-lasting color.
- Choose the Right Shade: Find a color that complements your skin tone for a flattering look.
10. Setting Spray
Setting spray locks in your makeup, ensuring it stays fresh and in place all day.
How to Use
- Distance: Hold the bottle about 8-10 inches away from your face.

I wear very little makeup but have my go-to items that I love (always have an eyebrow pencil, some mascara, and concealer at least). I like the eyeshadow included here, I may have to get something like that!
