If someone new to makeup had $100 to spend, what would you recommend?

If someone is new to makeup, it is safe to assume they’ve not needed it and are curious to play. On that estimate of proximity in this fictitious portrayal, I’d recommend the following:
Budget: $100
1. The face is probably nearly great condition so it shouldn’t need primer or foundation yet, perhaps later down the road, let’s stick to keeping skin clear and beginning the makeup with a concealer that do double duty for face discoloration, if any. A safe one which rarely is held responsible for breakouts and is sensitive skin sage while being terribly effective and works as an eye base for eyeshadow and neutralizing eye/lids. The concealer: Lancome Effernaces. It’s also very water and crease resistant!
– Spent: $30.50
2. Most people feel they have oil breakthrough and a safe for skin gentle blotting powder should be all this person needs as they aren’t doing a full face and the blotting powder can be applied everywhere if they’d like. The powder: Clinique Stay a Matte Sheer Pressed Powder, easy to take on the go as well! $24 so add that to 30.50
– Spent: $54.50
3. Keeping skin hydrated, protecting eyes and sun exposure is something I’m sure the person is already doing, but now they want to try makeup so the $100 is safe from skincare. Just in case, perhaps an $18 bottle of Hourglass Veil Primer, which makes skin look pretty, mildly hydrating and perfecting, helpful for any products going on,
– Spent: $62.50
4. Mascara doubles to groom brows gently, which brows should have to be gone to town on anyway, so a lasting flexible mascara that also makes a fluffy decent lash effect, because lashes make and finish a look: mascara. My recommendation: Covergirl Lash Blast Length. $6.00 It’s very lash friendly, bendable if you like to curve your lashes with fingers, and natural looking while adding enough to begin with a first mascara.
– add $6 Spent: $68.50
5. A great blush can be used to add dimension to the eyes as well as a great flush and also as highlight! When starting out, a safe choice is always a simple “matte” blush with outstanding consistency and amazing results on all skin types and that choice would be NYX blush in peace or mauve, they could choose which one is closest to their flush. Each cost $5. Add $5
– Spent: $73.50
6. A highlighter can bring dimension and add a beautiful glow in multiple ways, face, eyes, lips. Since we are starting, I’d suggest a simple one for all over use and make sure the pigment is well to highlight their inner eyes and lids. It’s all about simplicity when starting to get used to the face, so I would recommend something I’ve used often for many reasons and never had a problem with: Physicians Formula Powder Palette Multi-Colored Face Powder in “Highlighter.” Just beautiful. And, it comes with a brush that can be used for both the blush and highlighter! (Start small) $10 is the most I’ve paid for this, so add $10..
– Spent: $83.50
7. Defining eyes or just beginning by making their lash lines stand out, I highly recommend a matte brown eye pencil. It works universally and can also add to brows if they do choose. I recommend a trusty favorite that I used when I began and long after: Covergirl Perfect Blend EyePencil in the shade Black/Brown which is a perfect neutral espresso, not screaming eyeliner, but teaching the robes delicately and it has its own smudged which is soft and a bonus for any eye smudging! Cost: $5
Add $5
– Spent: $88.50
8. A white pencil eyeliner that is soft and sensitive to eyes I find a necessity when exploring highs and lows of eye shape and contour as well, the white liner can work above the brown to pop the eyes, below eyes to brighten. Rimmel Soft Kohl Kajal due to its sofness and quite great quality compared to the .99 cent one I began with, would be fine but due to them just starting, Instead of paying $4, Id recommend d the $.99 Wet N Wild Color pencil. Tried and true, they can grab for better formulas as they grow. 🙂
Add $0.99
– Spent: $89.49
9. A healthy MLBB is a must when beginning, and will balance the look of defined eyes, flushed cheeks, and a nice glow. For this I recommend a product that won’t tear up lips and remains easy to apply and is quite close to the natural color with perhaps just a pinch of change to make it fun. A great formulation and color I recommend: Clinique Color Surge Buttershine Lipstick in Pink Goddess! This works with every skin tone and even very sensitive lips. It will allow the experience of color and extra shine with moisture, a place to begin looking at themselves and seeing a natural face illuminated by the face’s own flush of colors and glowing with a universal highlighter, both used on eyes is plenty for one to imagine where to begin with color! Some, like I, grabbed a cheap Violette/periwinkle/white/ 8 shade palette. Maybe they don’t want or need nudes. The important thing is to explore their face as it is, naturally. (Slight enhancement and room for creativity with handful of supplies) cost: $16
Add $16
– Spent: $95.49 😀
10. As a bonus, a Wet n Wild Color Collection Eyeshadow set in either Petal Pusher or Comfort Zone, their choice. These apply well and are a great blend able option to play with when beginning! Cost: $5
Add $4 only! 😀 these have their own applicators snd I found learning with these applicators build appreciation for brushes and teaches one how to harness the use of fingers and other things lying around! It’s just a beginning…!
Total spent: $99.49 And there are always sales so I’m sure it will be under $100! I’d toss in an elf gloss to add esta dimension and experiment with gloss!
Ta-da! Grab minies, freebies, samples, coupons, a list of places to shop, promo codes, a list of places to go to in order to help them save money, the Temptalia website link, and lists of suggestions branching off multiple choices in what they feel they may want to take their makeup collection to. And a reminder that one need not apply every type of makeup to be beautiful, only the very smallest amount to maximize your beauty. Skin care is always first and if taken well care of, you’ll never need foundation and most products! Soon, tweezers to show how to keep maximum hair and natural shape with a clean line and not needing layers of brow makeup. Mascara truly adds enough definition and keeps them in place, groomed. Light handed, of course. Revlon tweezers are a couple dollars and work fairly well. I’m sure there’s room for a pair with $100. Safety First was the direction I took this $100 for somebody that looks just fine and wants to try makeup! 😀
