Countless varieties of cosmetics are available, so choosing makeup for beginners can be tough. However, you won't have to spend so much time comparing and learning how to use products once you know the basics. Check out these eight best makeup products to save time and money.





Cleansing Face Wash
Cleansing face wash is necessary to clean your face before you apply any makeup products. Ensure that the type of face wash you choose is the right one for your skin type and doesn't contain any harmful chemicals. A good choice for a start is Clean and Clear Morning Burst, $7.29.



Foundation
Foundation, as a makeup for beginners essential, helps to even out the tone of your skin and give you a perfect complexion.

There are many types to choose from, including Ofra Liquid Foundation, $24.50, and Absolute Cover Silk Peptide, $39.95



Concealer
Concealer is necessary for awakening the under-eyes and removing any blemishes such as pimples from your skin.

Try Maybelline Dream Lumi Highlighting concealer, $6.50, and Maybelline Cover Stick Corrector, $5. Your concealer usage will differ depending on the look you want to achieve.



Highlighter
The highlighter is a vital makeup for beginners as it gives you a soft, illuminated and glowing complexion. Apply Blissful Highlighter, $35, along your cheekbones and brow bone where the light naturally hits your face.



Eyeshadow Palette
Eyeshadow palettes are great makeup must haves in your bag. As a beginner, you can get an everyday, neutral color palette to go with a majority of your favorite outfits. Try NYX Cosmetics Full Throttle Shadow Palette, $9.99.



Lipsticks and Gloss
It is important to have a few lipsticks and gloss options to choose from depending on your preferences. For a start, you can use Lip Parfait Creamy Colorbalm, $26, or Paint Wash Liquid Lip Color, $28.

Lipstick will make your face pop up with an attractive look while gloss will give your lips a shiny and luscious effect.



Makeup Brushes
Makeup for beginners should be applied with a set of varied brushes. Make sure your brushes are made of high-quality materials to avoid wasting products and irritating skin. It is better to buy the brushes as a set that includes different shapes. Try PUR Pro Tools 5-Piece Brush Collection, $39.



Eyeliner
Eyeliner is an essential aspect of makeup for beginners that you should have in your bag for transforming your complexion from daytime to night.

It's a good idea to have one in a retractable form and a basic black color. Super Slim, $8.95, or Voluminous Liner Noir, $9.99, will help define your eyes and make your upper lashes look fuller.
