Are you
new to makeup? Feel a bit overwhelmed when you're at a a store like Sephora, and wondering about
what’s worth splurging on? I’m here to help. Personally I feel that products used to emphasize
certain features don’t necessarily need to be high end. Those would be:
lipstick, blush, bronzer, highlighter, eye primer (but if your lids are really
oily I’d recommend urban decay primer potion), brow products (unless yours need
a lot of help, in which case I’d recommend checking out Anastasia or Benefit),
and mascara. Not that high end versions aren't worth indulging in mind you. However,
there are quite a few low end versions that are similar, or better than the
expensive ones.
Now which
ones are worth the splurge? Here are some to consider. For a smoother look, and to help your
foundation to stay on better, primer is a good one to invest in. Why? It will
fill in your pores, and help slow down the oil from breaking down the foundation.
Naturally, next would be foundation.
This is one of the trickiest products to buy. Pick the wrong type, and your
face could end up looking like a hot mess (and possibly break you out). While
the wrong shade can make you look like you're wearing a mask, or make you look
ill. Have some redness, spots, or want to brighten up certain areas? Concealer
can help with that. I recommend getting two shades; one shade that’s your skin
tone to hide spots, and help conceal redness, then a lighter one for
highlighting areas you want to emphasize. Last, but not least, setting spray.
This is especially helpful for special occasions since you won’t have to worry much
about the products staying put.

I hope these tips are helpful to
you, and will help your shopping trip be less stressful.
Thanks for reading!
