The topic of makeup is a favorite in the beauty community, and there are many articles on the best kinds of makeup to use while traveling. But only so many articles detail how much you should spend on these products. In this post, we’ll discuss five different types of makeup products (foundation, concealer, eyeshadow, blush, and mascara) and how much they cost when purchased together in a kit. We’ll also explain why buying an expensive kit—or any kit for that matter—is unnecessary to look great!
1. Foundation
The foundation is a makeup product you apply to your skin to make out the tone, hide imperfections, and give you a natural-looking finish. Many foundation types are available, including liquid, powder, and cream. Some like the texture or feel of their skin, while others want something more affordable and easier to apply.
The best way to find out which foundation works best for you is through trial and error–but some guidelines might help:
- Liquid formulas are less expensive than creams and powders but have less coverage power; they’re harder to blend into the skin seamlessly without any lines. Powders offer fuller coverage than liquids but usually come in lighter shades so that they won’t match darker complexions. Creams offer medium-to-full coverage while being easy enough on sensitive complexions that won’t irritate if worn daily over an extended period.* If you want something affordable, check out our list below!
2. Concealer
Concealer is a must-have in any makeup kit. It hides blemishes, dark circles, and uneven skin tone. Concealer can also be used to even out your complexion, highlight areas of the face (such as cheeks or eyes), hide redness, and create a more youthful appearance.
There are many different types of concealers on the market today; however, if you’re looking for something that won’t break the bank, then stick with the basics: liquid or cream-based formulas will give you enough coverage while being easy to blend into your skin without caking up or feeling heavy on your face.
3. Eyeshadow
The best method to achieve a dramatic effect is with eyeshadow. However, you’ll want to start with a good primer first. This will help keep your makeup in place and prevent it from creasing throughout the day.
Next, choose an eyeshadow brush that’s small enough for your eye shape but large enough to apply color quickly without getting messy or spending too much time blending out the edges of each color on your lid. Finally, use a light hand when applying eyeshadows! It’s okay if some fall off your cheeks or nose- that means there’s more room for error when blending those edges later on!
4. Blush
Blush is used to give the cheeks a rosy appearance. It can be applied with fingers or brushes and comes in many colors. The most common way to apply blush is by brushing it onto the apples of your cheeks, but you can also use a little bit on your forehead or chin if you like.
Blush is one of those products that will take some experimentation before you find what works for you! But don’t worry–there are lots of ways to get started:
- Try using different colors from different brands until you find something that looks good on your skin tone and complexion type.
- Or try using only one brand until you get comfortable applying makeup (we’ll talk more about this later).
Once again, no matter which brand or shade of blush you choose, remember that this should complement rather than overpower any other aspects of your look–so use it sparingly!
5. Mascara
Mascara is a corrective item used to improve eyelashes. It generally comes as a liquid, cream, or cake mascara. Mascara” comes from the Italian word maschera, implying “cover.”
Mascaras was initially used in ancient Egypt as a symbol of beauty and power. They were made from burnt almonds and antimony oxides, which gave them their black color. Mascaras have become popular among women in modern times because they can help create fuller-looking lashes that make people look younger and more awake.
There are several things you should look for when choosing your ideal mascara:
- Brush type – There are three main types of brushes: plastic bristle brushes, which are stiffer than average bristles but still soft enough to avoid poking into your eye; rubber bristle brushes which give volume but don’t last long; natural bristle brushes (horsehair) provide both volume and length without clumping
6. Eyeliner
Eyeliner is an excellent method for upgrading your eyes. Liquid eyeliner is the most popular choice because it provides excellent definition without being too thick or heavy on the lid. When applying liquid liner, draw a line close to the base of your lashes, then connect it with another line towards the outer corner of your eye for drama!
Gel liners are similar but offer more flexibility in application since they’re easier to blend out if you make a mistake or want less intensity than liquid eyeliners provide when applied directly from their tube form onto the skin. However, they also tend to last less time, so keep that in mind before deciding which type suits you best!
For those who prefer pencil-type products instead, simply draw small strokes along each lash line starting from the inner corner and going outward towards the outer corner until the desired thickness has been achieved.”
7. Lipstick/Gloss/Lip Balm
- Lipstick is a crucial part of any makeup kit. It’s the go-to color for making your lips pop and one of your arsenal’s most versatile lip products. You can wear lipstick alone or layer it over gloss for a bolder look.
- Lip gloss is another great way to shine your lips without worrying about reapplying as often as you would with lipstick. It also comes in more than just sheer colors; some have high pigmentation, similar to actual lipstick!
- Lip balm allows you to keep moisture locked into place while protecting against chapping or flaking–which means no more cracked lips! That’s why it’s essential not only during winter but year-round; even if you don’t live somewhere humid enough where this could happen naturally (like Florida), there are still plenty of other ways we may cause damage by licking off excess product, too soon after application (eek!). For example: when eating spicy foods like buffalo wings…or kissing after applying lip balm…or whatever else might make us lick our lips frequently throughout each day/night cycle period–so basically anytime something happens where there might potentially be spiciness involved because everyone knows how much I love spicy foods 🙂
