Future Makeup Additions for my Face



As you all know I'm getting more into makeup b/c I'm about be 20 in September & I want to be able to do my makeup better and also look my age or at least more mature. I have a baby face & have never worn anything but Eyeliner, Mascara & sometimes Eyeshadow, but I want to learn how to do more makeup looks & how to blend 3 different shades of eyeshadows together b/c I've always just worn one and that's boring. YouTube is really teaching me a LOT, but I need to start practising if I'm ever gonna get skilled at being my own MUA.

I have a very little makeup collection right now + I want to start Contouring 'n Highlighting my face, so I've been doing some research on drugstore makeup I can afford & made a list of all the makeup I'm gonna buy in the future once I have the money. FYI I'm frugal & I don't buy things in every color they have, I buy what I need and don't buy another until I'm finished with it or there's a sale. Now that I've explained, here's my list of all the things I'm planning to buy =)

I don't need Foundation since I have a Normal skin type, so I was looking for a tinted moisturizer & found this to be much better + it has so many good benefits to it.




IDK if I'm really gonna get this b/c I have a hard time finding Shades for my Skintone, but I guess it'll be at the bottom of my list. I DO know that I'll be buying the Eyelid Primer though.

I've never worn Blush before, but after seeing how it adds a pop of color to your face in so many tutorials on YouTube I really want some now & found out this was the best shade for my Skintone. I didn't want to look like a clown or like it made me look too girly or pale, this adds a nice shimmery glow & I can't wait to get my hands on it.


I'll be using this Fan Brush to apply my Blush & Highlight my face with a Light Bronzer. I've seen in a lot of videos how this is good for those uses since it applies the product on very lightly like an airbrush finish & I can't wait to try it out.


I chose this Light bronzer to Highlight my face with, it'll give me a nice glow where the light hits my face.


I'll be using this Dark bronzer to Contour my face & give it shape since my face is round and I don't have visible cheek bones. It was really hard finding a dark bronzer to Contour with my Skintone b/c I kept finding ones that would be so dark they'd make me look like a Drag Queen if I bought them or like a dirty homeless girl, LOL. Glad I found one in the end b/c I was seriously about to give up.


I don't own an Angled Brush & didn't want to spend a lot on one if I was just gonna be Contouring with it, so I chose a cheap one by ELF to start out with and later on I guess I'll buy a better one.

 

My boyfriend bought me this already, I'm just waiting on it to come in the mail =) He said I should get it in 2-6 days. I wanted it b/c it has all the colors of the rainbow, I'll be able to do a LOT of practising 'n experimenting with it & also b/c it's a very good brand for an affordable price.
That's all the makeup I carefully chose for my makeup collection list that I'm gonna buy in the future, IDK how long it'll take but I'm happy I did the research & most are the same brand. I don't like having to search high & low for a makeup brand b/c it's only sold in specific stores etc. + it's a lot easier when I'm going down the ails of the store looking for all of it.

I'll defiantly be doing Swatches of all these products once I have them & also will do a review on them as well ^__^
