8. Lipsticks: As a beginner, you should keep at least three shades in your vanity which go with almost any makeup look or dress color. They are pink, brown and red. Those three-color suit almost all skin tones. If your skin tone is fair, you can choose a soft shade range for regular wear and some bright shades for any event. If you’re a slightly dusky undertone you can choose a darker shade range. All those are just a suggestion. You can definitely wear any lip shade which you feel will look good.

9. Setting spray: After finishing using all the makeup items you can set them with setting spray. It will hold your makeup, set them with your skin, and your skin will look more flawless and even.

Two to three types of brushes are enough to complete the rest of your eye makeup and other pieces of stuff.

Makeup is an art. If you want to drive into this you should use a slow process. The more you experiment, the more you will learn. That’s why it will be wise if you start with the basic makeup items and then go for different shade ranges, types, or different items.
