I get asked almost weekly about what beginners should purchase, so I am glad that I finally took the time to record a video to do a really basic overview of some good, solid products that I really like that are inexpensive and really great quality. Watch the video below to see what I picked for my Beginner’s Drugstore Makeup Kit and why. Then check out the links below for a quick link to find the products online.

I hope this helps some of you out! Of course, there are many, many things you could add to this kit, but this is super basic and simple for makeup newcomers.

Also, I have finally given in to recording a bit of a tutorial for beginners as well. It will be in 4 parts and the first one will be on Face Base, or foundation, concealer, and powder application. That will be posted next Wednesday.
