A great makeup artist knows that you need three things, the right makeup, the right tools and the prowess.

So, as a beginner, these are the items you will need.

1.  Primer and mositurizer.

You need to coat your face with a base before you apply your foundation. The primer helps protect our skin by acting as a base. The moisturizer prevents dryness and keeps your skin mositurized.

2. Concealer, foundation and powder.

3. The right brushes.

Key word, right brushes. If you do not use the right brushes, the end result will not be smooth. You need the right brsuhes to blend in the makeup perfectly.

4. An eyeshadow palette.
